Distant view and close-up of maple tree
Maple tree (sound: fēngshù) Name origin: maple tree, with large leaves, similar to the size of a human palm, with slender petioles, making the leaves It is very easy to sway. If there is a slight breeze, the maple leaves will sway and rub against each other, making a "swishing" sound, giving people the impression of following the wind. Therefore, the maple tree gets its name from the wind. The word "maple" has the same pronunciation as the word "wind". "Maple tree" is the "wind tree", which means a type of tree that attracts and responds to the wind. In addition, Acer plants are also commonly known as maples. Such as: maple ingot, maple with chicken feet. Canada's national flower - Sugar maple (Latin scientific name Acer saccharum Marsh.). There are many maple trees in Canada, and it is known as the "Land of Maple Leafs". For a long time, the Canadian people have had a deep affection for the maple leaf and have adopted the maple leaf as their national emblem. There is a red maple leaf painted in the center of the flag, and the national tree is the maple tree. Xiangshan red leaves

Maple The tree is a genus in botany, which was formerly independent of the Aceraceaedie family. Recent molecular biology research results indicate that it should be classified into the Sapindaceae family. There are approximately 110 to 200 species of maple trees. Maple trees are summer green trees or shrubs. The leaves are palm-shaped and opposite. For example, the leaves of A. negundo are pinnate. There are monoecious and dioecious maple trees. Some species are insect-borne, while others are wind-borne. The flowers have five petals and the stamens are partially reduced. The ovary is superior. There is a disc-shaped structure at the bottom of the flower, which is used to attract insects on non-wind-pollinated trees. The flower sequence is for the fruit to be detached. The maple leaves turn from orange to bright red in autumn, which is extremely bright.

"Compilation of National Chinese Herbal Medicine" Maple leaves are palm-shaped with 5 shallow lobes, 13 cm long, slightly wider than long, and the 3 largest lobes have a few protruding teeth. , the base is heart-shaped, the upper part is medium green to dark green, and the lower veins have hairs on the armpits. In autumn, it turns into yellow maple
color to orange or red. The bark is grey-brown and smooth, with grooves and scales appearing as the tree ages. The flowers are yellow-green, small, without petals, and hang down from the slender stalk. They bloom with the young leaves in spring and form an open inflorescence. The fruit has parallel wings and is 2.5 cm long. Height 30 meters, wide columnar shape, deciduous leaves. The white sugar, brown sugar and rock sugar we usually eat are mainly made from sugar cane and beet. Using the sap secreted by trees to boil sugar is still new in our country. Among the trees in the temperate regions of North America, there is a type of sugar maple tree that can secrete sugar liquid, commonly known as maple tree, among which Canada is the most famous. There are several varieties of sugar maple trees, such as sugar maple, silver sugar maple, and brown sugar maple. The former two species are famous for their sugar production. The wood of the maple tree is used as building materials or equipment materials, musical instrument materials, sculpture materials, etc., and can also be planted for ornamental purposes. Planted for harvesting and used for fire. In traditional Chinese medicine, root bark and branches are used in the medicinal materials of chicken feet. When the knee joint is attacked, put it in water and take it after boiling; when there is a fracture, it is used together with ogapy (Acanthopanax bark); it has anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects. Canadian maple (Aceracede) (also known as sugar maple) Maple trees accumulate starch during the growth period. As the snow melts in the spring, enzymes convert the starch into sugar, which dissolves in the water absorbed by the roots, creating a mildly sweet flavor. Maple sap contains water (approximately 97%), minerals, organic acids, and maple flavor. Starting from early March, sap will flow in the tree's body for 6 to 8 weeks, promoting the growth of the tree. All trees produce sap, but maple trees produce more and sweeter sap. There are more than 12,000 maple sugar producers in Canada. Canada accounts for 85% of the world's maple sugar production, and the United States accounts for 15%. Maple sugar is abundant in Quebec (93.3%), Ontario 5.5%, New Brunswick (1.1%) and Nova Scotia (0.1%). According to Canadian data, Canada's maple product output in 2000 was 40,196 tons (88.4 million pounds), and the expected agricultural output value was 151.5 million. Maple trees accumulate starch during the growing season. As the snow melts in the spring, enzymes convert starch into sugar, which dissolves in water absorbed by the maple roots, creating a slightly sweet taste. Maple sap contains water (approximately 97%), minerals, organic acids, and maple flavor. Starting from early March, sap will flow in the tree's body for 6 to 8 weeks, promoting the growth of the tree. All trees produce sap, but maple trees produce more and sweeter sap. The main tree species that produce maple sugar are sugar maple, red maple and silver maple. It is said that among the 13 local maple species, only three maple trees, hard maple, black maple and red maple, can produce syrup. A large maple tree can collect 4 liters of sap per day. According to current production methods, approximately 1 liter of maple syrup can be made for every 40 liters of sap. Interestingly, according to the owner, only maple trees in North America can produce maple syrup. As a result, maple syrup has become Canada’s world-renowned specialty. The journey from Quebec to Niagara Falls is 800 kilometers and is Canada's famous maple avenue. Major cities such as Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, and Montreal are all located on this Maple Avenue. The famous St. Lawrence River originates from the rippling blue Lake Ontario, parallel to Maple Avenue. More than 1,000 lakes of various sizes are scattered along Maple Avenue, thus forming lakeside, riverside and roadside areas. Maple leaves turn red in February. Beautiful landscape of flowers. The brilliant maple leaves reflected the blue sky and clear water, dyed the towns and villages red, and made the whole of Canada red. No matter where they go, people will exclaim: "It's so beautiful here." In fact, this exclamation has been exclaimed many times in different places. The famous maple viewing spot in Hull, near Ottawa, is the maple viewing platform in Cardinal Park. You can have a bird's-eye view of the Ottawa River, which is stained with maple leaves, and the Sese River flows slowly.

Mountain Journey (Du Mu) Far up the cold mountain, the stone path is slanted, and there are people living in the white clouds. Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, the leaves are as red as the flowers in February due to frost. Attached are two appreciations. Appreciation 1. Through the poet's emotional tendency, the poem uses the maple forest as the main scene to draw a warm and gorgeous autumn color picture of the mountains and forests. The stone path leading up to Qiu Mountain in the distance first gives readers a distant view. The top of the mountain road is a place shrouded in white clouds. The road is made by people, so the white clouds are lingering but not ethereal. The cold mountains contain vitality, and the sentence "where the white clouds are born, there are people" comes naturally. However, this is only building momentum for the next two sentences. Next, the poet clearly tells the reader that I am still parking in front of the mountain so late, just because the mountain in front of me is in full swing, better than the maple leaves of spring flowers. Compared with the white clouds in the distance and the houses that may not be visible, the maple forest is full of the pure beauty and vitality of life. Appreciation 2 This poem seems to be a "Mountain Journey" fragment taken from the long-distance travel picture. The word "late" in the third sentence reveals that the poet has been traveling all day and it is time to find a "someone" to rest. Now we are "far up the cold mountain", traveling on the sloping stone path. Looking high and far along the stone path, I suddenly saw "There is a home where the white clouds are born." Not only is the scenery beautiful, but you can rest there as soon as you get there. The second sentence brings "parking" forward, which creates a fascinating effect. It was already "late" and "people" were still far away, so why did they suddenly "stop"? It turned out that he found a "maple forest" on the roadside. Because he "loved" the "maple forest" under the slanting sun, he "stopped" to watch it. "Stop" highlights the word "love", and the word "love" leads to the conclusion. Huang Shucan's "Notes on Tang Poetry" says: "'Frost leaves are red with flowers in February' is a true famous sentence." Yu Biyun's "Continuation of a Brief Introduction to Poetry" says: "There are many poets who sing about red leaves, such as 'Warm wine is burning in the forest' "Red leaves", "Red trees and green mountains are good for boats" are particularly popular in poetry circles and are widely circulated in pictures. However, Du Mu's poems only praise the beauty of their colors, saying that they are better than spring flowers when the wind is strong and the frost is severe. Red, yellow, cyanotic and purple, all kinds of colors are prepared, covering the mountains and fields. The spring flowers are not as spectacular as this. It is appropriate for Si Xun to reward them outside the beautiful plums and peaches.
"Yes, the red leaves in the maple forests in the mountains and wild fields are indeed stunningly beautiful, but it is difficult for feudal literati who were caged by the "sad autumn consciousness" to have a sense of beauty. With the word "love" written in a big book, they were led with joy. Praising the maple leaves as "red as February flowers" not only describes the picturesque scenery, but also expresses the poet's bold and optimistic spirit. "Cold Mountain", "Stone Path", "White Clouds", "People" and "Frost Leaves" are composed of "top". The protagonists of "Hanshan" and "Stop" combine them with surprised eyes to form a picture of a trip to Qiu Mountain. Of course, it is not accurate to say that this is a "picture", because "Climbing Hanshan", "Bai Yunsheng" and "Stop" are all It is dynamic, and "love" is a lively and lively state of mind, which cannot be drawn. The focus of the whole poem is the fourth sentence, and the first three sentences are all used to highlight the fourth sentence. "Han" is used in the first sentence. The word "frost leaves" in the fourth sentence is to evoke the "frost leaves" in the fourth sentence; "white clouds" are written in every second sentence to use the strong contrast of colors to highlight the unusually "red" color of the "frost leaves" in the fourth sentence, giving people the impression of "redder than the second sentence". The feeling of "Moon Flower". The more powerful foreshadowing is the sudden "stop" due to the rush to go and the highlighted word "love", which has been analyzed before. There is also the word "late" in "Fenglinwan", It means that the setting sun is about to set, and the fiery red light is slanting over, making the maple leaves in the forest almost burning. The novel concept and exquisite layout capture the gorgeous autumn colors in the bleak autumn wind, which is pleasing to the eye and invigorating the language. Bright and smooth, with harmonious music, it is suitable for thousands of mouths to recite and lasts for a long time.
