The Zuihuai (Chinese: 罪槐; pinyin: Zuìhuái; literally: "guilty pagoda tree"), a specimen of the pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum) located in Beijing's Jingshan Park, is a famous tree and national landmark on which the last emperor of the Ming dynasty, Chongzhen, was said to have hanged himself after a rebel army led by Li Zicheng successfully captured the capital in 1644.[1]
The original tree was uprooted during the Cultural Revolution and the tree that is currently standing at the site is a replacement.[citation needed]
