Today, a thousand-year-old dragon tree was found in the village of Shaojin at the northern foot of Mount Tai in Caishi Town, Shandong Province, China.

Its tree is hard, with filiform rays on its cross section, and its branches are extremely difficult to break. Therefore, it is commonly known as the beef tendon tree by locals.
Longmu is a well-known rare medicinal material since ancient times. In the famous storytelling "Yang Jiajiang", the story of Mu Tian Tian Men Array tells that when he led an army to attack Tianmen Array, he was trapped by the Liao army's release of poison gas and suffered heavy casualties. Later, Mu Guiying brought longmu from Mukezhai to disperse the poisonous gas in the array.
Historically, chopsticks made of dragon wood were used to pay tribute to emperors and important officials, so that they could be used to detect whether food and drinking water were contaminated with toxins. No one knows the exact age of this ancient tree.
