[00:00:01] We are all part of nature, and nature's deficit
[00:00:05] should be shared.
[00:00:07] 。
[00:00:10] Nature speaks, all things are one family.
[00:00:13] 。
[00:00:17] Export home appliance brand.
[00:00:41] How beautiful can an ancient tree be?
[00:00:43] Let me tell you the answer.
[00:00:46] That is not a tree, but a flower house.
[00:00:50] The dense flower clusters
[00:00:54] cover the entire tree.
[00:00:57] The delicate flower petals hang like golden rain.
[00:01:01] When the wind blows, the small flowers fall all over the ground,
[00:01:04] but the fragrance lingers over the mountains and hills.
[00:01:06] This tree is about 600 years old,
[00:01:10] about 20 meters tall, with a circumference of over
[00:01:14] 5 meters, and an average canopy width of 35 meters.
[00:01:17] Looking across western China,
[00:01:21] such a huge, long-lived, and beautiful
[00:01:25] tree of this species is currently known to be only this one.
[00:01:29] 柱 。
[00:01:47] It grew a little longer this year.
[00:01:49] 5.12
[00:01:51] So it seems that the growth from last year to this year has been very good.
[00:01:58] 0.
[00:03:00] Most of them are actually found in moist mountain dense forests at altitudes of 1,000 to 2,500 meters,
[00:03:03] hidden beneath the canopy of tall trees, appearing somewhat slender and weak.
[00:03:07] , 显 得 有 些 细 弱 。
[00:03:11] But this tree in Pingwu County has single-handedly refreshed
[00:03:15] people's perception of this species of tree.
[00:03:18] So how did it do it? The secret
[00:03:22] lies in its resting place.
[00:03:25] 。
[00:03:31] Pingwu County, this is the basin
[00:03:35] of the Sichuan Basin. Mountains occupy nine cities and above
[00:03:38] of the county, with mountains winding, icy peaks, and
[00:03:41] cold weather.
[00:03:43] This species of tree likes warm and subtropical
[00:03:47] tree species. This place should not be its habitat.
[00:03:51] But this species of tree is very smart.
[00:03:55] The place it chose to settle is not in the mountains, but
[00:03:59] invincible. It perfectly avoided the cold of the high mountains.
[00:04:02] Nature is so fond of it.
[00:04:05] There just aren't any other tall trees competing with it.
[00:04:09] With the pressure of survival reduced, it can grow slowly
[00:04:13] for 600 years.
[00:04:15] 。
[00:04:18] There is a river in front of it, and it lives on a slope. So,
[00:04:22] in this place, its water,
[00:04:25] moisture, heat, and natural conditions are all very suitable for it. So,
[00:04:29] 呢 ,
[00:04:57] However, the location of this tree gave people a hint. Pingwu County was once a post on the Sichuan-Tibet Ancient Tea Horse Road.
[00:05:47] Until 1910, British botanist Henry Wilson and
[00:05:51] his expedition team came here.
[00:06:09] Excited, Wilson took this precious photograph.
[00:06:32] The slender branches in those photos have actually become much thicker.
[00:06:35] 。
[00:06:38] This special vitality is due to the improvement of the surrounding ecological environment.
[00:06:42] It is also inseparable from its own excellent genetic makeup.
[00:06:45] The tree we see in Pingwu
[00:06:49] must be a very excellent
[00:06:52] individual among this species of tree. It has experienced various
[00:06:56] natural disasters and diseases, and being able to survive through these experiences
[00:07:00] shows that its genes are strong
[00:07:04] among its peers.
[00:07:07] Strong genes within the population, an environment that strives for survival,
[00:07:11] is what this kind of tree needs.
[00:07:42] Many farmers have a complete understanding
[00:07:46] of this. Today, it has blossomed.
[00:07:59] In about six hundred years, the story of this tree is woven with
[00:08:03] geographical accident and the inevitability of life, the care of
[00:08:07] nature and the goodwill of humanity. However,
[00:08:11] there are still many unsolved mysteries about it.
[00:08:14] Where do its excellent genes come from?
[00:08:18] Why can it surpass its peers and become
[00:08:22] the largest tree of its kind in western China, and remain vibrant
[00:08:25] for about 600 years?
[00:08:28] And why does it flower and bear fruit every year, but we have never seen new
[00:08:32] tree seeds sprout and saplings grow?
[00:08:36] Today, we don't have time to explore
[00:08:39] them one by one, but in order to leave it to future generations, people
[00:08:43] must cherish it. For this reason,
[00:08:46] foresters have meticulously built a root channel for it
[00:08:50] to help the tree roots obtain sufficient nutrients.
[00:08:53] 。
[00:08:58] At the same time, the two branches of the tree stretching
[00:09:02] towards the south are also firmly supported
[00:09:04] by support frames.
[00:09:07] Pingwu is in the middle and lower altitudes,
[00:09:11] from April to May every year.
[00:13:35] Typhoon Bailu landed in Zhejiang yesterday. It has currently weakened to a tropical
[00:13:39] storm level. In the next few days, East China and other places will still experience strong winds and rain.
[00:13:43] As of today, the first phase of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has transferred 90 billion cubic meters of water,
[00:13:47] benefiting 48 large and medium-sized cities and 195 million people
[00:13:50] nationwide. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said
[00:13:53] on the 9th that,
