Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty once wrote a poem: "From the desert, a solitary root is waiting to be appreciated. The fragrance points to the threshold. The uprightness is in harmony with the heart. To the north of the Anshan Mountain is majestic, and to the west of the Jiuling Mountain is jagged. The scorching wind once took refuge from the summer heat. Few people can reach its level of nobility."

There is also a saying among the people: "I would rather taste three flowers than drink two taels of tea."
