Replica?

[edit]

Is the new tree a replica, i.e. made of unliving material, such as wood, plastic, stone or metal, or is it a new, living tree? LordAmeth 21:50, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The language standard of this article is horrible —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.132.250.9 (talk) 10:58, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed

[edit]

I renamed this article from "Guilty Chinese Scholartree" to "Zuihuai" because there is no common English translation of the Chinese name, and the previous name was just a somewhat awkward-sounding invention of the editor who created the article.

Replacement tree

[edit]

From what I can tell, the tree was replaced by a different one of the same species in 1981. The only sources I've seen that discuss the tree's destruction in the Cultural Revolution and its subsequent replacement are travel guidebooks, forums, and a couple of obscure Chinese-language texts on Google Books. Nothing really definitive. There is far more information relating to the stories of the emperor's suicide, so I'll be focusing on those elements as I expand the article. --Difference engine (talk) 19:37, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
