[00:01:17] , the 48th China Tree Planting Day , a group of elementary school [00:01:21] students came to the hillside of Miyun Xincheng Zicun in Beijing [00:01:25] , and planted rows of intelligent cypress saplings [00:01:27] . [00:01:34] Not far from where the children were planting saplings , an ancient cypress also [00:01:38] quietly sprouted in the spring breeze [00:01:40] . [00:01:45] It is bordered by Yanshan and Wuling Mountain [00:01:49] , and you can see the famous Simatai Great Wall [00:01:52] . [00:01:55] In front of it , even the Ming Great Wall of more than 600 years [00:01:59] is just a young man in history . [00:02:01] Its age is about [00:02:05] 3500 years , and it is the oldest tree [00:02:08] in the Beijing area . When it first took root [00:02:12] again , Chinese civilization was still in the distant Yin [00:02:15] Shang Dynasty [00:02:16] . [00:02:25] Beijing is a veritable ancient tree capital [00:02:28] . It has more than 40,000 ancient trees [00:02:32] . Among them , cypress trees with a number exceeding 22,000 [00:02:36] occupy half of the ancient tree family's territory [00:02:39] , becoming the most important living monument of this city [00:02:43] . Most of them are rooted in Huangjia [00:02:47] Yuanlin and ancient temples , with a majestic [00:02:51] and imposing aura . [00:02:54] And our protagonist today , [00:02:58] spring [00:03:18] is warming , with [00:03:22] a long spring blood , quietly falling [00:03:24] . Let me walk around [00:03:26] . [00:04:00] But they are scattered into 18 branches [00:04:03] . Spreading out in all directions , creating 18 [00:04:07] branches . From a distance [00:04:10] , it looks like an open giant fan [00:04:13] . The ancient tree is therefore named [00:04:16] Nine-Story Eight-Tea . This kind of [00:04:20] situation is not very common . If we analyze it [00:04:23] , it should be that it was cut off [00:04:24] . [00:04:50] This precious and majestic body , spreading out like a scattered green shade [00:04:54] , has accompanied generations of people's childhood memories [00:04:57] . [00:05:03] In my childhood, teachers used to take us to play here, climbing up and down the cat and playing with balls. It was quite big inside. [00:05:22] The "hall" that locals commonly refer to refers to the huge hollow [00:05:25] in the center of the tree trunk . Over the long years [00:05:29] , ancient trees were attacked by wind and rain and repeatedly eaten away [00:05:33] , and their physiological functions gradually declined . The heart of the tree slowly rotted [00:05:36] and became hollow [00:05:38] , eventually forming this unique mark of time . Even if the tree trunk is hollow [00:09:44] , for one tree, we do our best . Because [00:09:48] what we are protecting is not just a patch of green [00:09:52] , but also our shared history and memories . [00:09:54] About 3500 years ago [00:09:56] , it was just a dormant seed , or a tender sapling [00:10:00] . Now [00:10:04] , it has also become a microcosm of Beijing's history [00:10:08] , witnessing the continuous evolution of Chinese civilization . [00:10:11] When another spring [00:10:17] comes , countless people bend down [00:10:20] to the earth , planting not only saplings [00:10:24] , but also hope for the future [00:14:36] In the first seven months of this year , China's trade in goods [00:14:40] imports and exports increased by 17.3% year-on-year , exceeding 30 trillion yuan for the first time [00:14:44] . Sun Huajiang No. 1 Hongshuihongfeng arrived in Tongjiang this morning , and Heilongjiang No. 1 Hongshuihongfeng will arrive [00:14:47] tomorrow . The flood control line is under full pressure [00:14:51] , and the local area has been activated .
