62 Typical Women of China. The monarch one day invited her to walk with him on a high place, when she suddenly threw herself over and was killed. A letter was found in her girdle expressing the earnest wish that she might be buried beside her husband. To this the angry and disappointed Emperor would not consent, but ordered that her grave should be made opposite to, and at a little distance from, that of her consort.

The men of that day, pitying the fate of the husband and wife, gave the tree a name expressive of constant memory. CHAPTER LXXX.
