What is the national tree of China?

Many people have heard of the national flower and national treasure, but never of the national tree.

Although the national tree is not as bright and beautiful as the national flower, nor as lively and cute as the national treasure, the significance of the national tree cannot be underestimated.

The national tree has a special sense of intimacy for its people.

It not only reflects the country's natural features and plant distribution, but also reflects a nation's cultural traditions and aesthetic concepts, and can also arouse people's love for their motherland and hometown.

The national tree is usually one of the most important trees in a country.

Even though they always stand quietly in one place, they grow very low-key.

But if a place does not have them, not only will it become barren and monotonous, but humans, animals, birds and insects will also lose the basis for their survival.

Many literati saw this relationship between people and trees and wrote many touching stories.

Let’s take a look at what the national trees of each country are and what interesting stories happened there!

United States: Oak tree Oak tree is made of hard material, has a wide crown, and can bloom. It is known as the "King of the Forest" and is also the largest flowering plant in the world.

Not only that, oak trees have a long lifespan, with many living for more than a hundred years.

A Jurupa oak tree in California, USA, has survived for at least 13,000 years and may be the oldest known living organism in the world.

In Europe and America, oak trees are regarded as mystical trees.

Legend has it that the owners of this tall and sturdy tree are the Greek god Zeus, the Roman god of love Cupid, and the god of the hearth Vesta.

Legend has it that in the mountain forest in the Temple of Zeus, there stands a towering oak tree with divine power. The rustling of the oak leaves is the symbol of the god Zeus to the Greeks.

Many countries regard the oak tree as a sacred tree, believing it to have magical powers and a symbol of longevity, strength and pride.

In the famous book "Gone with the Wind", the author Margaret Mitchell describes her ideal life - manor-style life.

Plenty of sunshine, fresh air, vast land, lush crops, everything is so quiet and beautiful.

Among them, the most typical manor is Twelve Oaks Manor.

As the name suggests, there are twelve huge oak trees in the manor. The beautiful environment has attracted many celebrities and nobles to come here for gatherings.

In this manor, there is an aristocratic girl - Scarlett Hao.

She wore a tight corset and a slim-waisted skirt, and her green eyes twinkled with charm and ambition to conquer everything.

Her every frown and smile can make the young men who come to the party fall in love with her.

However, the good times did not last long. The outbreak of the Civil War broke this beautiful peace. Scarlett Hao was mobilized to the front line to help the wounded.

Unlike ordinary aristocratic ladies, Scarlett Hao did not have any pretentious posture. She faced it all bravely.

After that, the war ended with the defeat of the South, and Scarlett Scarlett faced the danger of the manor being embezzled.

In order to save the manor, she made a "last ditch effort" and bought a failed wood processing factory.

Relying on her clever mind, Scarlett Hao finally "turned decay into magic" and successfully saved her home.

Many people believe that Scarlett Hao has an oak-like personality.

On the one hand, she is beautiful and noble; on the other hand, she is courageous and resolute.

Just like an oak tree, it can blossom and cover the grass with a carpet of flowers; it can also stand erect and remain motionless in the strong wind.

At the end of "Gone with the Wind", Scarlett Hao returned to her manor, to the land that she had longed for.

After experiencing the changes in the world, she was finally able to rest in peace. She said with emotion: Tomorrow is another new day. Russia: White Birch Tree The biggest feature of the white birch tree is its beautiful white trunk.

The vitality of the white birch tree is very tenacious, it can grow in cold environments, and it grows very quickly.

Therefore, in Russia and northeastern my country, you can often see patches of white birch forests.

The human birch tree is a tree species that is very beloved by the Russian people, and many people's writers have described and praised it.

The famous poet Simonov regarded the birch tree as a symbol of the country: Yes, we can starve, freeze, and die, but even if we only have one breath, we will not give up the birch tree to others.

The famous poet Yesenin used the white birch tree as a symbol of home: how warm and cozy it is, just like sitting around the stove in winter, the white birch trees stand tall and graceful like tall silver candles.

In addition, the white birch tree is also used as a symbol of love: In early spring, under the shade of the white birch tree, you stood in front of me, smiling and lowering your eyes.

It seems that the birch tree is truly favored by the fighting nation!

India: Bodhi tree The Bodhi tree is a type of banyan tree.

Like other banyan trees, most banyan trees are tall and dense, but their leaves are very special in shape, triangular and oval.
