What are the Arbor Day cultures around the world?

The fundamental purpose of setting up Arbor Day is to protect forests and plant more trees. Countries have made some changes for afforestation, such as:

1. In the past, Yugoslavia issued a law stipulating that each newly married couple must first plant 70 olive trees. Some areas, such as Kagoshima, Japan, also require newlyweds to plant trees. There is a monument next to the tree indicating the name and wedding date, and it can only be cut down after 50 years of planting. At that time, tree planting couples can hold their 50th wedding anniversary celebration.

2. According to the law of Java, Indonesia, two trees should be planted for the first marriage and five trees for the divorced; You must plant 3 trees for the second marriage, otherwise you will not be registered.

There is a special rule in Japan to plant trees by adding cars. Anyone who adds a car without permission should plant a tree. This is because every car emits a lot of toxic hydrocarbons every year, making noise, and trees are natural "disinfectors" and "silencers", so trees must be planted.

4. Planting trees in Tianding. In many places in Tanzania, Africa, there is a custom of "Tianding planting trees", that is, whoever gives birth to a child will bury the placenta in the land outside the door and plant a tree there to express the hope that the child will grow sturdily like a tree.

5. genealogy. In some places in Poland, it is stipulated that all families with children should plant three trees, which are called "genealogy".

6. Tree Bank: In order to prevent construction projects from damaging trees, Japan has set up a "tree bank". All construction units must timely store the trees with roots dug out at the site into the "tree bank". After the completion of the project, the unit must take out the trees and plant them in time to maintain the original green area.

7. Courtship tree. In Bonn, Germany, during the annual tree planting season, the young man gave the girl a carefully selected birch seedling and planted it himself to show his love. People call it the "courtship tree".
