How did the cherry blossoms of Wuhan University come from? Who can tell me? . .

You mean cherry blossoms, right? A long time ago, in Wuhan University, a mother and daughter were spit out by everyone because they wore kimonos and took pictures at Wuhan University!

(1) Let me talk about his history in Wuhan University:

In the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, there were cherry blossoms in Wuhan University. According to Tang Zibing (also known as Tang Shanghao, 1934 graduated from the Economics Department of Wuhan University, then studied in Japan, and 1937 returned to teach at Wuhan University. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, he went to Taiwan Province Province and taught in many universities in Taipei. Now he lives in the United States. Mr.) recalled that 1937, after Japan launched a brutal war of aggression against China, it fiercely pushed into Central China, and the situation in Wuhan became increasingly tense. 1938 In April, Wuhan University moved to Leshan, Sichuan, and President Wang Xinggong decided to appoint five people, including Tang Zibing, to study in China. In June 5438+10, after the Japanese invaded Wuhan, Tang and others fled to the French Concession in Hankou, and Wuhan University became the Central Plains Command of the Japanese invasion of China. On campus, there are a group of Japanese army cadres, and the group headquarters is located in the College of Literature. The three colleges of literature, science and engineering are used by a large number of civilian personnel of the Japanese Central Plains Command. The professor's dormitory is occupied by senior Japanese officials, and the dining hall (now the first canteen of Wusheng) is a Japanese field hospital upstairs and downstairs. After the Japanese army invaded Wuhan University, Tang Zibing took his wife (Japanese) and left-behind personnel to the school to negotiate with the Japanese army, demanding that the Japanese army strictly protect the campus facilities of Wuhan University. The interviewer is the captain of the United Front and the Iraqi Chief Colonel Yuan Ye (a very dry colonel in China). He said that the Japanese army "unintentionally and irresistibly destroyed non-military facilities, especially every grass and tree on the campus of a beautiful university." Second, the troops are frequently mobilized, so I can leave a message when I am stationed: the guards will still pay attention, and then; You can come back later. At the beginning of "1939, Chang et al. learned that the Japanese army had changed its guard in Lushan, and once again" the original team went to the campus to negotiate with the Japanese authorities. Once again, the Japanese army is required to take care of all the facilities on campus. The audience is a civilian military attache, Major General Gao Qiao. Because of the small number of troops stationed, the campus has become a Japanese institution to deal with the latter, and its attitude is relatively friendly. Gao Qiao made it clear that "this cultural area, which is more beautiful than the Japanese sunshine and the scenery in Hakone-CHO, should be protected as much as possible." He also said: "But on this beautiful spring day, there are still no flowers and trees to decorate it, so we can plant cherry blossoms here from Japan to increase the atmosphere." Then he invited Tang to wait in front of the College of Literature and told Long that they would plant cherry trees (now Sakura Garden Avenue) in the future to show that their determination to plant cherry blossoms in the future had been made. Tang Zibing is not satisfied with the method of planting cherry trees in Japan to "enhance the artistic conception", because cherry trees are the national flower of Japan, and planting them in Wuhan University means less martial arts and long-term occupation, but he dare not openly oppose it, so he went out and suggested that when planting cherry trees in Japan, "plum blossoms can be planted at the same time". On the surface, Gao Qiao opposed Tang's suggestion. He just said, "cherry seedlings are easy to find, but plum seeds are hard to find." You and others can enjoy cherry blossoms next year. " In fact, he denied Tang's opinion. It can be inferred from this memory of Mr. Tang that Japanese cherry blossoms were first planted in Tianxue, Wuhan in 1939.

There were only over 50 Japanese cherry blossoms planted in Gao Qiao in those years, mainly distributed on the present Tuiyuan Avenue. These cherry blossoms began to wither in the 1950s. 1958+0957, the third management department of Wuhan University updated the decaying cherry trees. From 65438 to 0965, Wuhan University Farm planted more than 50 cherry saplings along Cherry Blossom Avenue, which greatly increased the variety. In 1970s, Wuhan University Farm introduced a batch of cherry saplings and updated the old cherry trees. In the 1980s, after the establishment of the Greening Committee of Wuhan University, the owners of cherry trees in the campus were comprehensively and reasonably laid out, and the planting area of cherry trees was expanded, so that the cherry trees passed through the Sakura Avenue and its vast area, the Biology Building, the Humanities Museum (that is, the Yifu Building), the Physics Building and the Administration Building, and then to the new and old guest houses, the second student canteen and Wuhan University. According to incomplete statistics, at present, there are at least 500 cherry trees on the campus of Wuhan University.

At present, the Greening Committee of Wuhan University is stepping up the breeding of various cherry tree seedlings, which not only meets the campus greening, but also supports the off-campus units to beautify the environment. We firmly believe that in the near future, the cherry trees of Wuhan University will take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit in more areas.
