Xinhui Chenpi is related to many celebrity anecdotes, among which Mr. Liang Qichao, a famous thinker and scholar in modern times, is closely related to Xinhui Chenpi.
The cultural background of historical masters is often connected with local feng shui. Behind Liang Qichao's former residence, at the top of Fengshan Mountain stands a bear (ní) sub-pagoda, built in the mid-autumn of the 37th year of the Ming Dynasty (1609), and has a history of more than 400 years.
The "Bear (ní) Zi Guifan" in the Old Eight Views of the New Church and the "Shadow of the Silver Continent Tower" in the New Eight Views both describe this tower. The ancient pagoda stands on the top of the Phoenix Peak, like a huge rafter straight into the sky, majestic and magnificent, quite literary.
Legend has it that after the completion of the tower, the village under the tower became prosperous and talented, and Liang Qichao was born here.
According to local folklore, the most authentic Xinhui tea branch orange, with the tower as a landmark, where the lookout tower land, the new citrus grown is more "beautiful", and the aged Xinhui orange peel is of better quality.
Modern eyes can also see that there is a certain scientific reason for the rumors, because from the geographical boundary, Xiongzi Pagoda is located in the lower reaches of the Tanjiang River, the mother river of Xinhui, with tributaries of the Xijiang River in the east and Yinzhou Lake with abundant water resources in the south. Three waters melt here, the soil is rich in nutrients, good land and good water naturally produce good oranges.
Liang Qichao presented Xinhui Chen Pi to Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor.
Empress Dowager Cixi painstakingly operated the art of immortality, painstakingly and racking her brains. Among them, there is the "Guang tangerine peel" that she orders as a tribute, and often drinks tangerine porridge, hoping to maintain health and prolong life.
It is said that Xinhui Tangerine Peel made Cixi fond of it, and it was also presented by Liang Qichao, who told the Guangxu Emperor about the wonderful place of Chen Pi in his hometown: Tangerine Peel tasted spicy, bitter, warm, into the spleen and lungs. It has the functions of strengthening the spleen, lowering the reverse and stopping vomiting, adjusting the appetizer, and drying and humidifying the phlegm.
Liang Qichao said that he was at home, his mother often cut the tangerine peel into strips, put it in the porridge cooked in the morning, and gave breakfast to the family, and everyone felt that the spirit of the day was very good and became a habit for many years.
The Guangxu Emperor was very happy, and personally let the eunuch cook porridge and send it to Cixi's bed, and Empress Dowager Cixi was not in good health at that time, and after drinking the porridge, she felt much more comfortable. And the broad orange peel has become a perennial tribute.
