The Legend of Jiang Xinyu West Tower
In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a farmer named Xue. One day, he killed a flower snake and saved a yellowbird. The next day, at first light, the oriole turned into a woman in yellow, Furong, to lay down her life to repay her kindness. From then on, the girl in yellow stayed at Xue's house, and together with Xue, she planted an orange pit with a gift from the mountain god.

The orange pit germinated soon after it fell into the soil. The days are long and the nights are long. A few months later, the flowers are in full bloom. After autumn, the trees are covered with oranges from Huang Chengcheng, which are big and sweet. In winter, I collected 3 1 CTN and sold a lot of money.

The government was greedy for Xue's income and sent people to Xue's house to inquire about the secret of oranges. Xue said it was given by the mountain god, but the government didn't believe it. He killed Xue and tried to make up the difference with Furong. Lotus let out a cry, turned into a yellow-headed finch, picked up the orange core under the orange root and flew north.

Then the yellowbird flew to the island in the middle of the river. She was so tired that she couldn't fly any more, so she stopped at the top of the west tower and cried. The orange pit in her mouth fell into the cracks in the brick of the tower. After that, Kumquat Pit grew slowly in the West Tower, and within a few years, it grew into a dry and leafy orange tree.
