A [00:00:47] sea of spirits covering about 41.5 square kilometers, [00:00:50] with an area comparable to a small linear city. The forest [00:00:54] coverage rate is as high as 95%, and [00:00:57] 65% of the trees are above 65%. [00:01:12] Some blow up mountain peaks and bones, leaving precious species genes. Some stand at high [00:01:15] altitudes, facing cold winds and blood, [00:01:19] and some stand for years, silently [00:01:22] recording the past of the forest. [00:01:26] They seem to be scattered and distributed, but they each have their own [00:02:00] representative of Wuling Mountain. [00:02:04] This is the core area of the Yanshan Mountains, serving as a natural [00:02:08] boundary between the northern grasslands and the central plains. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, [00:02:12] it has been a place of strategic importance for military strategists. In the Ming [00:02:16] Dynasty, it even became an outer defense system [00:02:19] for the Great Wall. [00:02:22] Historically, ordinary wars made it difficult for primitive forests [00:02:26] to survive for a long time. [00:02:31] However, today's Wulingshan is lush and green. [00:02:34] This ecological paradise is inseparable [00:02:38] from the efforts of several generations to restore the ecosystem, and it is even more due [00:02:42] to 89 ancient trees with an average age of about 210 years. [00:02:46] 。 [00:02:48] They are scattered among the mountains like pearls in the vast sea, preserving [00:02:52] precious original genes for the ecological restoration of Wuling Mountain, and even [00:02:56] more steadily supporting the basic framework of the community structure. [00:03:03] Throughout the year, forest rangers use the growth points of ancient trees as markers [00:03:06] to patrol the entire forest. [00:03:09] Oh, it's really not easy to get [00:03:13] here. It's still pretty much the same [00:03:16] as before. [00:03:18] These two ancient cypress trees growing in the ruins of an ancient temple are the oldest [00:03:22] ancient trees in the Wulingshan protected area. The trees are about 320 [00:03:26] years old. [00:03:39] At the same time, it has cypress, Wutong poplar, incense poplar, Pinus tabulaeformis and other [00:03:43] ancient trees with historical and ecological value. [00:03:46] 。 [00:03:48] Among them, the rarest are the four bamboo ancient Wutong poplars. [00:03:51] They grow in the valleys of the Southern Heng Mountains at an altitude [00:03:55] of 1200 meters. Fortunately, [00:03:57] these trees have not been replanted. [00:05:12] It is a unique and endangered species in China. [00:05:14] 。 [00:05:21] One thousand to one thousand six hundred meters, this height, too low is not good, it does not have, too high is not [00:05:25] good. Most poplar trees have strong [00:05:29] vitality and a wide range of uses, making them a model [00:05:33] of hard work and endurance among plants. [00:05:35] Only the Wutong poplar has extremely demanding requirements for its habitat. [00:05:39] 。 [00:06:18] It also makes him appear extraordinary and different. What is [00:06:21] even more surprising is that most poplar trees are difficult to live [00:06:25] for more than a hundred years, but the Wutong poplar itself can [00:06:29] live for about 300 years. [00:06:33] The academic community is still exploring the secret of their longevity, [00:06:36] but their continued existence to this day is related to a past [00:06:40] event. [00:06:44] In the 13th year of Kangxi (1675), Wei Huqing [00:06:48] of Dongling Qing government issued an order to close Wuling Mountain. [00:07:02] The fragile Wutong poplar seized this opportunity to grow [00:07:06] into a towering tree. And this is [00:07:10] also the most important event in the ecological history of Ling Mountain. [00:07:34] 62.7 62.7 [00:07:38] I see what this is, this evergreen small tree, what kind of [00:07:42] broad-leaved tree, a natural ecological observation station. [00:07:53] There are more than 80 ancient trees [00:07:57] in the entire ancient tree cluster. [00:08:03] The evergreen branches and leaves make them a natural breeding ground for wild animals. [00:08:12] You see, at that time, it was called the Milky Way's long-term friend circle. [00:08:16] They eat the pine nuts or small beds [00:08:20] that fall on them. There are [00:08:24] over 200 species of birds [00:08:27] here. There are six species at the national first [00:08:31] level, as well as national second-level and Beijing municipal [00:08:33] protected species. [00:08:36] The prosperity of birds is an important indicator of forest [00:08:39] vitality. [00:12:49] Visit a generation of masters and seek a thousand-year-old cultural heritage. Let us take one step [00:12:53] for a thousand years and embark on a group visit.
