客家村落长久以来流传一个优美的传说，他们将榕树视为神树，并喜爱将榕树种植于屋前，以榕树四季长青的体貌，象征著客家群族茂盛与长寿之意，同时更意味著客家人心胸宽阔，既能容己又能容人。而该传说也让榕树成为每个客家村落最美的一幅自然景色，其硕大的树干不仅遮日挡雨，更成为村民的活动场所。

There has been a beautiful legend in the Hakka villages for a long time. They regard the banyan tree as a sacred tree and like to plant it in front of the house. The evergreen appearance of the banyan tree symbolizes the prosperity and longevity of the Hakka people. The Hakka people are broad-minded and can tolerate themselves and others. The banyan tree, as a result of this legend, is the most beautiful natural scenery in every Hakka village. Its huge trunk not only shelters the sun and rain but also becomes a place for the villagers’ activities.
