Brief introduction of banyan tree

Banyan grows in the tropical rain forest area with high temperature and rainy weather, where the climate is humid and the rain is abundant. Morphological characteristics of Ficus microcarpa (also known as Toona tenuifolia and Ficus microcarpa): an evergreen tree of Toona of Moraceae, with a height of 20-25m and active roots. Leaves leathery, oval, ovoid or obovate, 4 4- 10/0cm long and 2-4cm wide. Inflorescence receptacle born singly or in pairs in leaf axils, oblate-ovoid, 5- 10 mm in diameter, milky white, yellow or reddish when mature; Gall flowers and female flowers are born in the same receptacle. Distribution: It grows on the edge of villages or in forests. Distributed in Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Taiwan Province, southern Zhejiang, Yunnan and Guizhou. India, Myanmar and West Malaysia also have it. Uses: It can be used as a street tree. Bark fiber can be used to make fishing nets and artificial cotton. Roots, bark and leaf buds are used as antipyretic drugs. As the saying goes, the banyan tree with the largest crown is not a forest. However, only banyan trees in nature can be "unique and become a forest". Ficus is a large evergreen tree of Moraceae, which is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. Its crown is amazing. In the tropical rain forest of Bangladesh, a big banyan tree flourishes and becomes a forest. There are as many as 4000 "air roots" hanging on its branches, which become "column roots" after landing. In this way, the roots of the columns are connected, the columns and branches support each other, and the branches and leaves spread out, forming a spectacle that covers the sky and forms a forest. The huge canopy has a projected area of 1 1,000 square meters, which once housed an army of thousands of people under the trees to avoid the scorching sun. There is also an ancient banyan tree near Tianma River in Xinhui County, Guangdong Province, China, with a crown area of about 15 mu, which can be used by hundreds of people to enjoy the cool under the tree. Banyan grows in Taiwan Province, Fujian, Guangdong and southern Zhejiang. The banyan trees in the fields and roadside have become natural pavilions, which are good places for farmers and passers-by to rest, enjoy the cool and shelter from the wind and rain. There are many banyan trees in Fuzhou, so it is called "Rongcheng". The fruit of banyan is oblate, born in the axils of leaves, with a diameter less than 1 cm, and can be eaten. Seeds germinate vigorously, because of the activities of birds and the influence of wind and rain, they attach to the mother tree, absorb the nutrition of the mother tree, grow many hanging air roots, and absorb water from the humid air; The column roots buried in the soil strengthen the role of trees in absorbing water and inorganic salts from the soil. This is the mystery of "one tree makes a forest". A little information Fuzhou Tree-Banyan Tree has a long history of planting banyan trees in Fuzhou. According to the Music History of the Song Dynasty (930 ~ 1007) written in the book Taiping Universe, "Rong ... is surrounded by ten places and never dies in winter, so it is called Rongcheng". In the Song Dynasty, Zhang Boyu, the magistrate of Fuzhou, planted banyan trees to prevent drought and flood, showing the scene of "the city is full of shade, but it is not covered in midsummer". Banyan has become one of the characteristics of Fuzhou ancient city. The banyan tree is luxuriant in branches and leaves, evergreen in all seasons, flourishing in branches and leaves, and stands proudly despite the cold and heat, symbolizing the pioneering spirit of Fuzhou people. 1On February 8th, 985, the 12th meeting of the Standing Committee of the Eighth Fuzhou Municipal People's Congress decided to name the banyan tree "City Tree" on the recommendation of the masses. 1On August 28th, 1997, the 34th meeting of the Eighth People's Congress of Fujian Province passed the resolution of taking banyan as the provincial tree. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Boyu, the prefect of Fuzhou, was born in Jian 'an (now Jian 'ou County). In the second year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1024), he was a scholar. Later, I published a book review and got excellent subjects. In the first year of Li Qing (104 1), he became a professor of Wu Jun County Studies; Then the secretary cheng as TaiGuLing. He loves the people, works hard and builds water conservancy projects. In the fourth year of Li Qing (1044), Fan Zhongyan was recommended to the imperial court for daring to speak. The first year of Huang You (1049) was the official history of the imperial court. At that time, Chen Zhizhong was the prime minister, and Apollo said, "The world has never been ruled, nor has it ever been a real prime minister." Therefore, he offended Chen Zhizhong and learned about Taiping House (now dangtu county). Emperor Injong sympathized with Apollo and gave him 50,000 yuan before he left Beijing. During He Zhi period (1054 ~ 1056), Apollo was appointed as the magistrate of Yanzhou. In the eighth year of Jiayou (1063), I learned Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) from a doctor. Apollo has made great achievements in learning and cultivating talents. In the second year of Zhiping (1065), Apollo moved the capital to Fuzhou, and immediately ordered all households to dig ditches seven feet and plant banyan trees for greening. A few years later, "the city is green and the summer heat is not covered", and the reputation of "White Rong Zhi" is very famous. Apollo learned more and more, and this article left a deep impression on Ceng Gong. He is addicted to wine and good at poetry, and is known as "Zhang" and "Zhang Baipian". The official final examination department sealed the doctor. He wrote two volumes of Penglai Poems, which have been lost.
