The Zhao family in Taihu County has a treasure called Shi Song. It looks like a cypress tree, about three feet tall, with branches as strong as iron and a deep red color.
It is said that this stone pine is an alternative of corals, produced in the sea below the Ryukyu Purslane Mountain, and can only be obtained by fishermen who are well versed in water diving into deep water to search.
In the qing dynasty, Zhao Wenkai sent envoys to Zhongshan Kingdom, brought back from the sea, and has been treasured at home, which is truly a treasure.
In fact, according to the modern botanical classification, there is indeed a plant called "stone pine", which belongs to the stone pine family, also known as stretch grass and stone pine nuts, and is a perennial native plant. Growing in moist forests or swamps on land, it can be medicated. The so-called "stone pine" in this article is a coral produced in the sea, but it is like a stone and is shaped like a pine.
Zhao Wenkai once had a poem about this object, which is recorded as follows:
"If you don't see it, the horsetooth mountain is thousands of feet under the sea, there are ancient pines and cypresses in the seawater, and senran is not cypress or pine, who carved the stone?" The leaves are delicate and delicate, and the blood is in the ancient flood waves. The craftsman was speechless, and the letter was a coincidence and not a man. Feng Yi's palace held a banquet at night, the fire tree saw thousands of branches, Zhu Feng was angry and angry, and the red dragon circled around Wen Qian. Lou Lou red jade is difficult to color, Shijia coral He Zu envy! The fisherman stole a branch, and the river boy exclaimed away the thunder and lightning. Jun does not see the vicissitudes of the mulberry field, the current wave of the past Artemisia. Mozi is not a stone, I am afraid that Magu planted it herself. ”
