Deer-shaped cypress introduction: This cypress was planted in the Ming Dynasty. Viewed from the northeast, the crown of its branches is shaped like a sika deer, with two tree holes, just like mouths and eyes, looking alert, galloping and jumping, and moving in silence. When the Imperial Ancestral Temple was under confinement, there were gray cranes perched next to the trees, which were regarded as auspicious signs that the pines and cypresses were evergreen, and that deer and cranes spring together.
