Ordinary paper tree

The season is already midsummer, with increasing rain and lush trees, entering the most prosperous season of the year. In front of and behind the house, all kinds of trees cover the sky and are lush.

Good evening. Come to the balcony. I found a tall tree in the south of the storeroom, with dense branches and slender branches covered with grapes-sized olives. The breeze is blowing, dancing with the wind and making a rustling sound.

Go to Xubu for verification and know that this tree is called Broussonetia papyrifera. Next to it, several of its partners are lying down, because there is a row of tile houses in the south of these Broussonetia papyrifera, and several branches of Broussonetia papyrifera cross under the eaves. The owner was worried that they would often hurt the eaves intimately, so when the rainy season came, he rudely cut down several other trees, perhaps because the tree in front of the window was far away from the eaves, and only survived the fate of being cut down.

Looking back carefully, I actually had an impression of Broussonetia papyrifera before. The first time we met, it was in the mountains around Pingyin.

I remember it was five or six years ago. I went climbing in Pingyin area on the east bank of the Yellow River. At noon, I sat on the top of the mountain to have a rest. The sun is like fire, and I'm thirsty and sweaty. Suddenly I saw a few small trees growing in the gap along the roadside, and the branches were covered with red hawthorn. So I tried to pick a few and put them in my mouth. I found that they actually belonged to My Sweetie, and I admired this tenacious tree in my heart.

Later, I learned that Broussonetia papyrifera is actually a very common tree in our place, and most of them are wild. I remember the year before last, when the courtyard of my hometown was renovated, I found that there were bare leaves scattered in the small courtyard where no one had lived for a long time. It took great effort to cut it down. Its roots are very tough and not easy to break. Even the low Broussonetia papyrifera has slender roots.

Baidu took a look and was surprised to find that Broussonetia papyrifera was widely recorded in many ancient books.

"Yellow birds, yellow birds, don't gather corn, don't peck my millet" in The Book of Songs Xiaoya Yellow Birds vividly describes the scene where birds gather on it to peck at food. This tree building is called "Valley".

There is a poem in The Book of Songs Xiaoya heming, that is, "There is a garden full of music, trees with sandalwood and valleys under it."

In Shan Hai Jing, there is a mountain where birds are in danger. Its yang is Loki, its yin is sandalwood, and there are many female gardens. This paper tree is called "bamboo".

Tao Hongjing in Nanliang recorded the medicinal value of Broussonetia papyrifera, whose taste is "sweet and cold, non-toxic, invigorating qi, nourishing skin and improving eyesight". Besides the fruit, the leaves, skins, stems and white liquor of Broussonetia papyrifera have medicinal effects. Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist in Ming Dynasty, also affirmed that Compendium of Materia Medica has the effect of tonifying deficiency.

? This is Broussonetia papyrifera, ordinary and ordinary, with tenacious vitality. Isn't it a great spirit to give everything selflessly to mankind?
