Origin of the name "Genzi"

Legend: It is said that there was a big banyan tree in ancient China. The root of the tree formed a hole, which could accommodate twenty or thirty people. One afternoon, a sudden rainstorm accompanied by hail, and mountain torrents poured down. The low-lying area under the tree suddenly became a vast ocean. Children playing nearby yearned for shelter in the tree hole. After the heavy rain day and night, parents searched for children everywhere. Finally, they found that the children were sleeping soundly in the tree hole, safe and sound, In order to commemorate the tree roots and protect the life roots (children), the descendants named this place“ Root ”.
