Chapter 1: Love of Banyan Tree
In Jiangcheng, a border area connecting China, Laos and Viet Nam, I am often fascinated by banyan trees scattered here. It is free and easy, tall and majestic; Not for bending, not for fatigue. Every time I walk in the street park of the city, the quadrangles and houses in the countryside, or Shan Ye, I always stop and look up for banyan trees of different shapes. It has become an unconscious habit to go out and enjoy banyan trees and change your mind. Looking at the mountains from afar, steady and domineering; Close up, the giant covers the sky, and one tree alone supports the world. Different banyan trees have their own beauty and never overlap. Banyan trees nourished in the unique hot and humid climate in the frontier stretch and grow at will. Where the space expansion kit goes, its body extends. If you want to experience the truest strong sound of life, then savor these ancient banyan trees that can grow into forests.
Standing under the ancient banyan tree, it is touching and small, and it is also a living body. Banyan tree uses big body, big operation and big freehand brushwork.
1980, the first time I went to Zhengdong, I stood under the ancient banyan tree at the foot of Chengzi Sanzhai. The southern banyan trees that only existed in images and books suddenly came back to my eyes, but I could never come back. Is it incredible admiration? Is it an indescribable shock? I sat down, stroking the tendrils that were as touchable and flexible as drooping hair, and looked at the thick and strange tree body. Like dragons, the huge branches sprawled in all directions, forming a cone-shaped crown-an umbrella that covered the sky. I don't know where to start. I squatted down for a while and saw them like elephants, some were leisurely foraging and some were frolicking; Standing up for a while, I found banyan trees like a group of brave warriors, holding swords and guarding Xiongguan; Bend down and watch for a while, only to see the huge trunk and vigorous branches, lush green leaves propping up the tree sky; Looking up for a while, the Millennium banyan tree has become a huge palace, with singing birds, wandering butterflies, smiling flowers, chasing dogs, and people who are in a hurry or leisurely are deeply embraced by it; Lying on the ground for a while, I felt all the mature leaves, flowers and fruits falling gently and crawling silently on the wet land.
The banyan tree is gentle, like a hospitable and beautiful housewife and a kind old man. Standing under it, I feel refreshed, except for the fatigue of wandering. The dazzling green slowly seeps into every pore, and the gray cement viaduct, impenetrable high-rise buildings and traffic that haunt me all day long suddenly disappear at this moment. When a gust of wind rises, the banyan tree twists with the wind, and its manners are neither humble nor supercilious, and its expression is naturally idle. Perhaps it is this steadiness and calmness that allows the banyan tree to stretch so boldly.
I watched the graceful peacock dance and wild broadsword dance during the Songkran Festival under the ancient banyan tree. And the sound of elephant foot drums that make my blood boil.
Every year, I see the splash like silver thrown into the air and turned into jade beads sprinkled on people. Laughter, screams and blessings filled every leaf.
There are piles of sand and blessings under the ancient banyan tree. The sacrificial streamers beside the roots and the flowers everywhere are memories of our ancestors.
There is also a New Year's Eve dinner where the whole village gets together, which combines the affection and nostalgia of the Dai family.
Chapter two: the feeling of seeing banyan trees.
Intertwined, long beards are hidden deep underground. A single tree is flourishing, and many trees hang down into a forest.

Banyan, a noble symbol of Fujian, was named provincial tree by the provincial people's congress. As early as 900 years ago, banyan trees were all over Fuzhou. Because "the city is covered with green trees, the department does not cover it", it has won the reputation of "Rongcheng".
165438+ In late October, I came to Fujian from the county seat that has entered the cold winter and enjoyed the summer time.
In just three or four days, from Fuzhou to Xiamen and then to Zhangzhou, I saw flowers at a glance, and the banyan tree impressed me the most.
In this area suitable for the growth of banyan trees, banyan trees of different ages are widely distributed in streets, fields and villages, in front of houses, in parks, hills, bridges, river banks and even in the middle of roads. On the street, beside the expressway, the banyan tree stands upright and dark green as a greening street tree. In parks, ancient streets and alleys, there are ancient banyan trees everywhere, which are magnificent.

The banyan tree adds infinite charm to this unique pattern of Licheng in the south of the Yangtze River. The banyan tree, which has been used for hundreds of years, is decorated with its brilliant figure, draws beautiful curves on the city skyline, creates shade for people with huge lush branches and leaves, and creates a unique space for the city.
These days, whether traveling by car from the streets or walking in the streets, whether staying in hotels or visiting scenic spots, the tall and majestic banyan tree is like a goddess of mercy with infinite magic. Try to stretch your limbs and protect everyone who is destined to walk. Shelter from the wind and rain, shelter from the wind and rain, shelter from the wind and rain.
Banyan has a thick crown, lush foliage and evergreen seasons. The air roots on the old branches hang down and hang in the air, like a woman's hair, like a silk curtain of a tall building, hiding the scenery in its elegance. Short as an old man's beard, it embodies wisdom and toughness in jagged. Rough fall to the ground, shaped like a pillar, with branches and leaves, showing the infinite reproduction of life. There are many banyan trees whose shapes, appearances and connotations can't be described in words. It's really interesting and intriguing.
Banyan trees can dominate by the water or on the flat ground, or stand upright in cliffs or crevices. Adult banyan trees, which can be as high as twenty or thirty meters, look up at the sky with overwhelming momentum. "Rooted in fertile soil, branches stretch in the blue sky and reflect sunlight" is a vivid description of this feature.
Banyan Tree is not only deeply rooted in the land of Jiangnan, where rivers, ports and ponds crisscross, but also integrated into people's social life and the culture of the whole city. Together with the environment, it has created many meaningful verve for this space.
The banyan tree is a symbol of loyalty, perseverance, loyalty and virtue in Zhao Zhong Temple and the Memorial Hall of Ship Administration Culture.
In the Luoxingta Park, the banyan tree and Qiniang Liu live together. The Luoxingta is advertised as a world beacon, lying down with their heads held high. On the right side of the park, an ancient banyan tree, rooted on half a cliff, leans on the highway and faces the Minjiang River. It is thriving and full of vitality. Dense roots are scattered smartly on the cliff, just like an old man standing proudly on the stone wall after vicissitudes of life, caressing his beard and smiling at the "Haitian".
In Fuzhou's famous cultural street-"Three Sides and Seven Alleys", banyan trees are graceful, comparable to antique shops and workshops; Then there is the history of Qi Mei. Accompany Fujian ancient civilization and welcome guests at home and abroad.

In the Tulou of Tianluokeng in Zhangzhou, the banyan tree witnessed the world civil architectural heritage and explained the changes of Hakka culture.
Surprisingly, for the first time, I saw two banyan trees competing to grow on the gatehouse. Which came first, the tree or the gatehouse? The tour guide explained that it was the bird that threw the seeds of the banyan tree on the wall, which took root and sprouted. Over time, the fibrous roots drilled into the cracks in the ground along the wall, showing strength and perseverance; In the narrow alley, the banyan tree obediently put the air root into the bamboo tube, obeyed the arrangement and twisted it into the ground, which showed tolerance and generosity. It embodies the scientific concept that managers neither hurt trees nor occupy roads.
Attracted by banyan trees and rendered by banyan trees, I can't help but feel deeply:
What kind of tree in the world is like a banyan, which can grow roots from the ground; What kind of tree, like banyan, is flourishing, unique, distinguished and elegant?
Banyan can grow everywhere, its seeds take root and sprout as soon as they land, and the air is buried in its branches as soon as it lands. No matter what the environment and conditions are, its tenacious vitality is convincing.
Rule 3: You are like a banyan tree.
I walked back and forth in the South Ring Road for more than six years, but every day the most popular things outside the bus window are pedestrians and the sky, and I seldom pay attention to other things, especially evergreen plants. Plants that always like flowering always feel that flowering plants can give people unexpected surprises, such as gorgeous flowers, quiet beauty when dying, silence to exaggeration, and the charm of nature is clear at a glance. And those evergreen plants are covered with a green coat all year round. Green eyes make people go astray into the depths of the jungle, but they can't feel the freshness of the air.
In the morning after a rain in spring, I noticed pedestrians and things outside the sky for the first time, which was the "tree of life", which I had never seen before in my hometown. Because of its pleasing green and beautiful roots, I think it should have an imaginative name, so the word "life" immediately comes to mind. Simply put, I call it the "Tree of Life".
The tree of life is like two heroic soldiers, standing on both sides of the avenue and in a corner of the park in a standard sentry posture. That tall and straight spirit adds a sacred prestige to the city.
This is the first time I have felt this way since I came to this city for a long time. I am dignified and domineering.
Later, every time I took this road, I couldn't help but take a look, so my uneasy and timid heart in a foreign land relaxed. Gradually, I found that we can actually distinguish the four seasons from evergreen plants, such as the tree of life, and the branches of life in spring are covered with green buds; In summer, the branches and leaves are more lush, and the dark green ones are a bit presumptuous. From a distance, they are like a canopy that blocks the sun, sheltering the earth from the wind and rain; In autumn, the trees are covered with many ivory fruits like pearls, and then slowly turn yellow or red as time goes on; In winter, dark green is mixed with a little gold, just like a butterfly spreading its wings and swaying its most beautiful dance in the wind.
One day, chatting with a friend, I suddenly remembered those beautiful fruits. I asked her excitedly, "Have you seen the tree of life on the roadside or in the park?" She asked inexplicably, "The Tree of Life is in the Garden of Eden in the East! Are you still sleeping? " I said anxiously, "no, not that." There are many roots in this city. They grow on branches, like old people's hands, and hang down to the ground. " "Oh, you said that, that's not a tree of life, it's a banyan tree." I muttered to myself that it was not originally called "the tree of life", but there are so many green leaves in clusters, and green is clearly the display of life, and those air roots, as long as they touch the ground, will become thick trunks and eventually grow into forests. What a pity! In order to solve the doubts in my heart, I consulted relevant information, which is really called banyan tree.
Fuzhou is the city with the largest number of banyan trees, and it is called "Rongcheng". Although Shenzhen is not a "Rongcheng", the banyan tree is also one of the characteristics of Shenzhen. It is as leafy as an umbrella, evergreen all the year round, unafraid of cold and heat, and stands proudly, like a sign of pioneering spirit. It is the messenger of the earth, the embodiment of soldiers, silently supporting a world for people; It is a close friend of mankind in the struggle with nature, selflessly dedicating his life and creating the happiness of others.
When the wind blows, its dense leaves come and go lightly in the sky like pieces of Lv Yun, and its long air roots face the wind, like a string of dark brown wind chimes, and sing tactfully in the world.
In the hot summer, it opens its generous arms and injects refreshing coolness into people. Sunlight occasionally reflects patches of mottled shadows through the cracks in the leaves, and the beating notes seem to be brand-new life, with a shy or low desire to talk, or innocence without smoke and dust.
Walking on the broad green road, I looked at the rows of buildings, high scaffolding and busy construction sites in this city, and the shadows of banyan trees were everywhere. These migrant workers left their hometown, their beloved land, and came to this foreign land, prospering the city and being lonely in the countryside. In the wind, in the rain, with a pair of calloused hands, let high-rise buildings rise from the ground and turn mud roads into long and wide cement roads. ...
Such a banyan tree has the virtue of infinite love. In all seasons, people in the world are sheltered by actions without words. Although such a banyan tree does not have the noble quality of mud and the natural beauty of plum blossoms, it has the most sincere concern for nature and human beings. It seems to be a simple appearance of travel-stained, but it still maintains a weather-beaten pride. These qualities, like groups of migrant workers, have built beautiful homes with sweat, leaving people with warmth and prosperity, but taking away the bitterness of taking tents as their homes.
