Arbor day

"Arbor Day" is a festival stipulated by some national laws to publicize forest benefits and mobilize the masses to participate in voluntary afforestation. According to the length of time, it can be divided into Arbor Day, Tree Planting Week or Tree Planting Month, collectively known as Arbor Day. Through this kind of activity, people's feelings of loving forest afforestation are aroused, people's understanding of forest functions is improved, the greening of the country is promoted, and the purposes of loving forest protection, expanding forest resources and improving ecological environment are achieved. A festival to mobilize the whole people to plant trees. In China, Tomb-Sweeping Day was designated as Arbor Day by the government in March of 19 15, that is, 12. Later, on1April 7, 928, the government of the Republic of China issued a tree planting order: the Qingming Arbor Day in the old calendar should be changed to plant trees a few years after the death of the Prime Minister. "The reason why the government of the Republic of China issued this order is because Mr. Sun likes' tree art animal husbandry' very much since he was a child. When studying abroad, he often used holidays to go back to his hometown to plant mulberry trees. 1On February 23rd, 979, the 6th meeting of the 5th the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) decided to keep March 12 as China Arbor Day to encourage people of all ethnic groups to plant trees, green the motherland, improve the environment and benefit future generations.

Origin of arbor day

Modern Arbor Day was first initiated by Nebraska, USA. 19th century ago, Nebraska was a bare wasteland, with few trees, dry land, strong winds and yellow sand all over the sky, and people suffered greatly. 1872, Julius Sterling Moreton, a famous American agronomist, proposed to stipulate Arbor Day in Nebraska to mobilize people to plant trees in a planned way.

At that time, the state agricultural bureau adopted this proposal through a resolution, and the governor personally stipulated that the third Wednesday of April would be Arbor Day every year. After making this decision, millions of trees were planted that year. In the following 16 years, 600 million trees were planted one after another, eventually turning the 654.38+10,000 hectares of wilderness in Nebraska into dense forests. In recognition of Morton's achievements, 1885, the state legislature formally stipulated that April 22, Mr. Moore's birthday, would be Arbor Day, with one day off.

In the United States, Arbor Day is a national holiday, and there is no unified national date. But every April and May, every state in the United States organizes Arbor Day activities. For example, Rhode Island stipulates that the second Friday in May is Arbor Day, which is a day off. Other states have fixed dates, and some temporarily decide the date of Arbor Day by the governor or other state government departments every year. Whenever Arbor Day comes, people from all walks of life, mainly students, form a mighty army of tree planting and devote themselves to tree planting activities.

In America today, there are rows of trees and avenues. According to statistics. About13 of the United States is covered with forest trees, which is closely related to Arbor Day.

The history of afforestation in China can be traced back to 3000 years ago. Afforestation and forestry development have really become the strategic tasks of national construction, but after the founding of New China, becoming a citizen's legal obligation began at the beginning of reform and opening up.

Since the founding of New China, the Party and the state have attached great importance to greening construction. In the mid-1950s, Mao Zedong called for "greening the motherland" and "gardening". 1956, China started the first "12 year greening campaign". 1February 23, 979, the 6th meeting of the 5th the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) decided on March 12 every year as the National Arbor Day in order to mobilize people of all ethnic groups to plant trees and speed up the greening of the motherland.

China Arbor Day

Although there was a saying in ancient China that people were advised to plant trees, the state stipulated by law that Arbor Day is a modern thing. 1965438+July 3, 20051China municipal government stipulates that Tomb-Sweeping Day is Arbor Day every year, when tree planting ceremonies and afforestation activities will be held all over the country. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the Sixth Session of the Standing Committee of the Fifth NPC decided on February 1979 to designate March 12 of each year as Arbor Day. The general provisions of the Amendment to the Forest Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) adopted at the Seventh Session in the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) on June 6 stipulated: "Planting trees and protecting forests are citizens' obligations.

Arbor Day in China is scheduled for March 12. March 12 is the anniversary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's death. Dr. Sun Yat-sen attached great importance to forestry construction before his death. Shortly after the establishment of the Nanjing government of the Republic of China, where he was the interim president, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry was established in May 19 12, and the State Forestry Administration was headed by the Forest Department. 191410/In June, the first forestry law in China's modern history was promulgated, and in July, 19 15, the government designated Tomb-Sweeping Day as Arbor Day every year. In February, the 6th meeting of the 5th the NPC Standing Committee passed a resolution to designate March 12 as China Arbor Day. The significance of this resolution lies in mobilizing the people of all ethnic groups in China to actively plant trees and speeding up the greening of the motherland and various forestry construction. Our country designated the date of Sun Yat-sen's death as Arbor Day, also to commemorate Sun Yat-sen's great achievements, symbolizing that his unfinished wish will be realized in new China and will be better realized.

198 1 in the summer of, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places experienced floods rarely seen in history. On the initiative of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the Fourth Session of the Fifth National People's Congress (198 1 12) deliberated and adopted a resolution on launching a nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign. 1990 March 12, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued a set of four stamps for "greening the motherland" again. The first stamp is "voluntary tree planting by the whole people". The resolution pointed out that all China people and citizens aged1/kloc-0 should voluntarily plant 3 to 5 trees every year according to local conditions, except the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, or complete the tasks of seedling raising, management and other greening with corresponding labor. The resolution calls on the people of all ethnic groups in the country to "start with everyone, plant trees every year, and fools move mountains and persevere." 1982 On Arbor Day, Comrade Deng Xiaoping set an example and planted the first tree of the voluntary tree planting movement in Yuquan Mountain, Beijing.

Since then, voluntary tree planting has been put into practice as a legal obligation that citizens must fulfill. A voluntary tree planting campaign with the largest scale, the largest number of participants and the most remarkable results in the world has been carried out in China for 26 years. For more than 26 years, no matter how busy they are at work, the party and state leaders have earnestly fulfilled their obligation to plant trees, whether in Beijing or in other places. Statistics show that since 1982 launched the nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign, the number of people participating in voluntary tree planting has reached 104 billion, and more than 49.2 billion trees have been planted voluntarily.

The nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign has effectively promoted the improvement of ecological conditions in China. Before the start of this campaign 198 1 year, the national forest area17.29 million mu, the standing stock 1026 billion cubic meters, and the forest coverage 12%. After years of unremitting efforts, China's forest area has reached 2.62 billion mu, the standing stock has reached1361800 million cubic meters, and the forest coverage rate has increased to 185438+0%. With the decreasing of forest resources in the world, China has achieved a sustained growth of forest resources. The improvement of forest vegetation not only beautifies the homeland, reduces the harm of soil erosion and sandstorm to farmland, but also effectively improves the carbon storage capacity of forest ecosystem.

Since 198 1 65438+February, China has voluntarily planted more than 35 billion trees. China is implementing the "Three Norths" and six major forestry projects in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, such as key shelter forest construction, returning farmland to forests and grasslands, wildlife protection, nature reserve construction and natural forest protection. By the end of 2000, the forest coverage rate in China reached 16.55%, the per capita public green space in the city increased to 6.52 square meters, and the total area of nature reserves in China exceeded 6,543.8+billion hectares.

Arbor Day in Different Countries

Afforestation can not only green and beautify homes, but also play a role in expanding forest resources, preventing soil erosion, protecting farmland, regulating climate and promoting economic development. This is a grand project for the benefit of present and future generations. In order to protect forestry resources, beautify the environment and maintain ecological balance, many countries in the world have set up Arbor Day according to their actual conditions, such as India, where the first week of July is Arbor Day every year. North Korea celebrates Arbor Day on March 2nd every year; Thailand designated National Day as Arbor Day; The second Saturday in September in the Philippines is Arbor Day; In Italy, 65438+1October 2 1 is the annual Arbor Day; Arbor Day is held in every state in the United States, but there is no unified date in the whole country due to climate differences. Brazil celebrates Arbor Day every September 2 1; Every year in Colombia, 65438+ 10/2 is Arbor Day; El Salvador Arbor Day and Teacher's Day are held together on June 2 1 day every year; Egypt celebrates Arbor Day from September to October every year. ...

Among these countries, Arbor Day in the United States is the earliest, with a history of 130 years. 1April 872 10, a reporter from Nebraska launched the first Arbor Day in the United States. On that day, Nebraska planted more than 654.38 million trees.

Brazil is a country with extremely rich forest resources. Nearly three-fifths of the Amazon forest, the largest tropical rain forest in the world, is located in Brazil, and the national forest coverage rate exceeds 52%. Nevertheless, Brazilians still don't forget to plant trees. The Brazilian government actively encourages people to plant trees while rationally developing forest resources.

In order to actively face the threat of global warming, the United Nations Environment Programme launched the "Tree Planting for the Earth:110.80 billion Tree Campaign" in Nairobi on October 8, 2006. The campaign plans to plant at least 654.38 billion trees around the world in 2007.

With the enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection and their active participation in afforestation activities, our living environment will be continuously improved.

According to United Nations statistics, Arbor Day has been established in more than 50 countries in the world. Due to different national conditions and geographical locations, the names and times of Arbor Day are different in different countries, such as Arbor Day and Greening Week in Japan. Israel calls it "the new year of trees"; Myanmar is called "Tree Planting Month"; Yugoslavia is called "Tree Planting Week"; Iceland is called "Student Arbor Day"; India is called National Arbor Day; France is called "National Tree Day"; Canada is called "Forest Week".

An interesting story about planting trees

Hundreds of years ago, 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.

According to the law in Java, Indonesia, two trees should be planted for the first marriage and five trees for divorce. 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.

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

Genealogy: In some places in Poland, it is stipulated that every family with children should plant three trees, which is called "genealogy".

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.

Courtship tree, in Bonn, Germany, every year in the planting season, the young man will give the girl a carefully selected birch seedling and plant it himself to show his love. People call it the "courtship tree".

Measures for the implementation of national voluntary tree planting activities in the State Council

In order to effectively implement the resolution of the Fourth Session of the Fifth National People's Congress on launching the nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign, the following implementation measures are formulated.

First, the people's governments at or above the county level set up greening committees to uniformly lead the voluntary tree planting movement and the whole afforestation and greening work in the region. Greening committees at all levels are composed of leading comrades of local governments and responsible comrades of relevant departments and people's organizations. The office of the Committee is located in the competent government department at the same level, and there is no other establishment. In some places, it is really difficult to carry out tree planting campaigns due to the limitations of climate, land and other conditions. With the approval of the greening committees of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, the national voluntary tree planting campaign may not be carried out and the greening committees may not be established.

Second, greening committees at all levels should organize and promote all departments and units in the region to widely and deeply publicize the "Resolution on Launching the Nationwide Voluntary Tree Planting Campaign" and its implementation methods through various forms, publicize the great significance of afforestation and greening the motherland, conscientiously do a good job in ideological mobilization, raise awareness, create momentum, and make it a household name. At the same time, efforts should be made to make preparations for investigation and study, planning and arrangement, seedling cultivation and technical training.

3. All Chinese people and citizens of China, male 1 1 to 60 years old, female 1 1 to 55 years old, except those who have lost the ability to work, shall undertake the task of voluntary tree planting, and all units shall report the actual data to the local greening committee as the basis for assigning specific tasks.

County Greening Committee in the assignment of voluntary tree planting tasks, according to the requirements of planting three to five trees per person per year, to determine specific indicators, and adjust measures to local conditions, flexible and diverse arrangements. You can divide the responsibility area according to the unit and undertake the tasks of soil preparation, seedling raising, planting and management; You can also undertake individual afforestation tasks according to the corresponding labor distribution. This task can be fixed for one year or several years.

Teenagers aged eleven to seventeen should arrange employment nearby according to the actual situation.

Four, voluntary labor, limited to the county, city area, to create state-owned forests and collective forests. In voluntary tree planting or greening projects, cities should give priority to greening scenic spots, historical sites and main streets and other public places. Rural areas should do a good job in "four sides" greening and farmland shelterbelt construction as soon as possible. Organs, organizations, enterprises, schools and other units and residential areas should vigorously plant trees, grass and flowers to beautify the environment.

Five, the use of voluntary workers, trees planted on state-owned land, forest rights belong to the current management of these land units; If there is no clear management unit, it shall be owned by the departments and units designated by the local government. Trees planted on collective land are owned by collective units. If there is another agreement or contract under special circumstances, it shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of the agreement or contract. The people's governments at or above the county level shall issue certificates to all forest right units to effectively protect their legitimate rights and interests.

Six, in order to ensure the seedlings needed for voluntary tree planting, all localities should strive to run the existing state-owned nurseries and collective nurseries, and according to the necessary land and the number of professionals, expand and build new seedling bases, and cultivate improved varieties and strong seedlings. All qualified units should actively run their own nurseries. Advocate urban families and rural members to carry out nutrition bowl seedling raising.

Seven, voluntary tree planting trees and existing trees, we must vigorously strengthen the cultivation and management, to ensure the survival of trees, not damaged. All units of forest trees or units that undertake the obligation of management and protection shall organize forest farms and professional teams or determine special personnel to pay tribute to management and protection according to the situation. Give play to serious legal system and discipline, and establish rules and regulations for forest protection villages. Logging and renewal must be approved by the forestry industry or garden department in accordance with the provisions of the forest law. Urban green space should be strictly protected and shall not be occupied or destroyed. Offenders should be given economic punishment or legal sanctions.

Eight, planting trees and greening, we should pay attention to science and practical results. It is necessary to train technical backbones, strengthen technical guidance, popularize technical knowledge of tree planting and greening, and act in strict accordance with technical regulations to ensure quality.

Nine, voluntary tree planting, each unit should check once a year, and truthfully report the completion. The Greening Committee shall regularly organize appraisal and commend and reward outstanding achievements; If an adult citizen who has reached the age of 18 fails to perform this obligation without reason, his unit shall criticize and educate him, order him to replant within a time limit, or give him economic punishment. If the whole unit fails to complete the task, it is necessary to investigate the leadership responsibility, and the local greening Committee will charge a certain greening fee.

Ten, forestry and garden departments at all levels, should be under the leadership of the Greening Committee, in conjunction with relevant departments, and strive to do a good job in planning and design and seedling cultivation and other specific work. If the grass-roots institutions are not perfect, they should be enriched and strengthened.

Eleven, the nursery stock fees and management fees required for voluntary tree planting should be based on the principle of self-reliance, thrift, and the forest right unit is generally responsible for solving. Some units are really unable to bear all the expenses because of the big greening task and financial difficulties. According to the subordinate relationship of the unit, the financial departments at all levels should solve it as appropriate. Units and individuals who participate in voluntary tree planting need transportation and other expenses, and the participating units shall take care of themselves.

Twelve, to carry out the national voluntary tree planting campaign is an important measure to promote national afforestation. When carrying out this activity, all localities must combine with speeding up the whole afforestation and greening work, and make overall arrangements in terms of seedlings, funds, technical strength, forest management and protection, etc., not only to do a good job in voluntary tree planting, but also to complete the annual afforestation and greening plan. For a place, it has completed the task of voluntary tree planting, but the whole afforestation and greening work has not been done well, so it cannot be praised and rewarded.

Thirteen, according to the "Resolution on Launching the Nationwide Voluntary Tree Planting Campaign" and the provisions of this implementation method, the people's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government may, in light of the actual situation, formulate detailed implementation rules. The measures for PLA officers and soldiers to participate in voluntary tree planting outside the camp shall be implemented according to the State Council and the Central Military Commission's "Instructions for Troops to Participate in Voluntary Tree Planting Outside the Camp" (Guo Fa [1982] No.3), and the measures for tree planting inside the camp shall be determined separately by the PLA headquarters. However, the local people's governments must cooperate closely and make reasonable plans to help the army solve practical problems that should be solved.

Citizen of school age: Have you fulfilled your obligation to plant trees?

If you want to express the vitality of the earth with a unique image, there is a simple symbol of life, that is, the tree. Entering the world of trees is like entering a beautiful and mysterious situation. March 12, 2006 is the 28th Arbor Day in China, and the national voluntary tree planting campaign started from 1982 has passed its 25th year.

Speaking of Arbor Day and voluntary tree planting by the whole people, people familiar with it will never forget 1978' s catastrophic flood in Sichuan Province. After the flood, Comrade Deng Xiaoping was far-sighted and pointed out that the reduction of forest vegetation in the Yangtze River basin was one of the main causes of the flood. Therefore, at the initiative of Comrade Xiaoping, the Fourth Session of the Fifth National People's Congress made the Resolution on Launching the National Voluntary Tree Planting Campaign on June 5438+098 1 13. 1982 the State Council promulgated the measures for the implementation of the nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign. In the spring of this year, Comrade Deng Xiaoping, an advocate of the nationwide voluntary tree planting movement, led his family to plant trees in Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs of Beijing. Since then, on the first Sunday of April every year, the main leaders of the party and the state will participate in voluntary tree planting activities in Beijing.

With the vigorous advocacy and active participation of the party and state leaders, hundreds of millions of people across the country have actively participated in the nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign. According to statistics, as of 2002, the number of people participating in voluntary tree planting reached 8.28 billion, and 39.84 billion trees were planted voluntarily.

Qian Nengzhi, director of the office of the National Greening Committee, calculated an account. If 39.84 billion trees are arranged at a distance of 1 m, these trees are enough to circle the earth 994 times; If arranged according to the density of 0/50 plants per mu/kloc, these trees can cover the whole of Guizhou and Jiangsu provinces. Qian Nengzhi said that not only that, but with the promotion of the nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign, China's green has expanded rapidly, and the national tree planting area has reached 700 million mu, ranking first in the world. The national forest coverage rate increased from 12% to 16.55%, and the national urban greening coverage rate increased from 10. 1% to 27.44%. This year, this number is still far increasing.

The green changes in the motherland have made people truly feel the greatness and success of the nationwide voluntary tree planting movement. Looking back on the history of the 22-year national voluntary tree planting campaign, we have both joys and sorrows. Fortunately, the brilliant achievements of voluntary tree planting by the whole people; What is worrying is that people don't know enough about the nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign, the scale benefit of voluntary tree planting is not obvious, and the management of greening achievements is not good. The most prominent problem is that many local citizens of school age have not fulfilled their obligation to plant trees in accordance with the provisions of the National People's Congress.

198 1 year1February 13 The Resolution on Launching a Nationwide Voluntary Tree Planting Campaign adopted by the Fourth Session of the Fifth National People's Congress clearly stipulates: "Where conditions permit, the people of China and citizens aged 1 1 year.

However, it is such a legal obligation that people's performance is still unsatisfactory. According to reports, about 30% of the citizens over the age of 18 in Guangdong Province fail to perform voluntary tree planting every year, that is, nearly146,000 citizens of the school age do not participate in voluntary tree planting every year. According to this figure, Guangdong Province will plant more than 58 million trees every year, equivalent to an area of nearly 24,000 hectares. Taking Beijing as an example, the relevant person in charge of the Office of the Capital Greening Committee has revealed that there are about 6 million citizens in Beijing who meet the conditions of voluntary tree planting, but about half of them fail to perform their voluntary tree planting every year.

In fact, as long as you look at yourself, your family, the people around you, and then think about whether you have fulfilled the statutory obligation of voluntary tree planting every year, it is not difficult to see how many people have not fulfilled the statutory obligation of voluntary tree planting. How many fewer trees will be planted in China every year because of the failure to fulfill the legal obligation of planting trees? If calculated accurately, this must be an amazing number. Behind the figures, not only are the legal provisions greatly discounted, but more importantly, the process of greening the motherland is greatly affected.

Poets of all ages have praised trees.

More than 2,500 years ago, the Book of Songs recorded the situation of people planting trees in China from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period. For example, "Zhi Ding Zhong Fang" wrote that "hazelnut millet is on the tree and tung lacquer is on the chair". It is said that Wei Wengong lived in Chuqiu, built a city and built a palace, and planted hazelnut, millet, chair, tung, catalpa and lacquer. At that time, people planted trees not only to beautify the environment, but also for convenience. At that time, there were peach, plum, jujube and other fruit trees and mulberry trees in the larger orchards in the Yellow River basin. Ancestors planted mulberry and sericulture beside the wall house to maintain their lives; And left it as a legacy to future generations, which promoted the development of mulberry industry at that time. "Between ten acres of Feng Wei" records: "Between ten acres, mulberries are idle and walking, and my son is still awkward ..." Therefore, these trees are very important to future generations, and people still often use mulberry trees to compare their hometown. The Book of Qi Yao Min at the end of Wei Dynasty records that a man named Hengli built a house in Longyang, Wuling County and planted thousands of citrus trees. Before he died, he told his son, "There are thousands of' wooden slaves' in my hometown. They don't ask you for food or clothes. They only pay silk tax once a year, and what they produce is enough for you. " His son made a lot of money every year.

The ancients were diligent in planting trees, which benefited them. Therefore, the poems of literati in past dynasties were inspired, and they often recited their favorite poems on trees. For example, Tao Yuanming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty soon fell in love with chrysanthemums and planted willows. After he retired, he planted five willows in front of his house, calling himself "Mr. Wuliu"; His love for planting willows is: "Even if the land is flat and the wind is far away, good seedlings will breed new ideas." "I'm wandering under the window, I'm in front of the hall." Wait a minute.

Tang poets Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Liu Zongyuan all like planting trees. Although Du Fu is addicted to alcohol, he loves peaches and bamboos more. The scenery near his residence is "red in peach blossoms, green in willow leaves." "If you rest in your life, how many bamboos will you plant?" According to historical records, when he wandered around Huanhuaxi, Chengdu, Sichuan due to the war, he asked the resident acquaintances for peach saplings. "I planted a hundred peaches to beg for rice and sent them to Huanhua Village before the spring." Is a vivid portrayal. Liu Zongyuan, known as "Liu Chi", planted many willows along the Liujiang River after being demoted as the secretariat of Liuzhou, so there is a saying that "Liu Cishi planted trees along the Liujiang River". He not only planted willows, but also took the lead in "planting 200 oranges by himself", and implemented the environmental protection and beautification strategy and greening policy of "arranging trees to guide the way" and "traveling in the cool". His poem "Poetry of Planting Willow Plays" enjoys a high reputation, and his prose "Biography of Planting Camels" has high scientific value in guiding tree planting. When Bai Juyi was appointed as the secretariat of Zhongzhou, he often implemented tree planting as a major event and development prospect. His poem recites: "I wish the red is gorgeous and the white is white;" You can't drive away bees, but good birds come to live. " He often hoes, cultivates soil, repairs canals and irrigates with the people with his subordinates; Leave a good story for the world.

During his tenure in Hangzhou, Su Dongpo, a poet of the Song Dynasty, presided over the construction of Su Causeway, the long embankment of the West Lake, which is famous to this day. "Planting hibiscus willows on it is like a picture scroll", which adds a wonderful scene of "Peach Blossoms among willows on Su Causeway Road in February" to the West Lake. After living in Huangzhou, he built Dongpo Tang Xue outside the south gate, surrounded by bamboo, jujube, chestnut, Huang Sang, willow and other trees, and wrote the poem "Last year, Dongpo picked up rubble and planted jute 300 feet".

Interesting story of advocating afforestation

Treating diseases and planting apricots

Dong Feng, a famous doctor of Wu Dong in the Three Kingdoms, was skilled in medical skills, helped the poor, did good deeds and accumulated virtue, and did not accept gifts for treating diseases. It is only required to cure a small patient, plant an apricot tree, cure a serious patient and plant five apricot trees. Over time, there are 65,438+10,000 apricot trees around his home, which is called "Lindongxing County". Later, whenever the apricots were ripe, Dong Feng changed them into grain. Relief for the poor, this is the "Xinglin story" passed down from generation to generation as a beautiful talk. Since then, "Xinglin" has become synonymous with the medical profession.

Homesick willow planting

Princess Wencheng married Songzan Gambu in Tibet in the Tang Dynasty, and specially brought willow saplings from Chang 'an and planted them around the Dachao Temple in Lhasa to express her thoughts about the willow-shaded hometown. Therefore, these trees are called "Liu Tang" or "Princess Willow", and now they have become the historical testimony of Tibetan-Chinese friendly exchanges.

Write poems to protect trees

Patriotic star Feng Yuxiang loves trees as much as his life.
