Ji Fuji said that he learned that the begonia tree was the social tree of the Yi Folk Society. As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Yi Folk Society, the old gentlemen planted a begonia tree in the small garden in the courtyard of the Yi Folk Society. Begonia flowers are known as "national beauty" reputation, planting begonia trees to the older generation of high hopes for the Yi Folk Society, the later Yi Folk people also live up to the high expectations of the ancestors, so that the Yi Folk Society from generation to generation, develop and grow, cultivate generation after generation of artists, for the audience to dedicate a large number of wonderful performances. At that time, after Mr. Lu Xun and others watched the performances of the older generation of artists at the Yi Folk Society, they wrote a plaque inscribed on it with the words "Ancient Tune Solo Bomb". In the 1990s, when the Yi Folk Society was transformed, Ji Fuji launched everyone to look for begonia trees, and finally bought a begonia sapling in Xi'an Botanical Garden, which was carefully nurtured and now flourished, and every spring when the flowers bloom, the splendid begonia flowers are hung all over the branches, becoming a scene under the bell tower.
Finally, Ji Fuji also recited to reporters the poem "Ode to the Flowers of the Yi Folk Society" he created for the Begonia Tree of the Yi Folk Society: Pear Garden Begonia Flowers Are Like Brocade! The fragrance of rui welcomes the spring glow. The four seasons do not seek fruit, but only hope that the fragrance of flowers will accompany the world.
