S názvom laocong (老枞) sa stretneme hlavne v južných provinciách Číny, akou je napríklad aj provincia Guangdong (Kuang-tung).  Jeho význam “jedľa” sa v čajovej komunite používa pre pomenovanie starých stromov (netreba si to však mýliť s Gushu – starodávne stromy, ktoré sú z oblasti provincie Yunnan).
Laocong Baxian je jedným z desiatich známych čajových kríkov, ktoré v sebe ukrývajú nektár vôní typických pre čaj “Fénix”- Fenghuang Dancong.
