1, celebrate success and plant poplars.

There was a famous soldier in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Sha. He was brave and good at fighting. In his many years of military career, every time he won a battle, he ordered the whole army to plant an poplar tree on the winning battlefield. Later, even the captured prisoners let them plant trees as a "celebration" activity. With the continuous victory of the Saudi army in the war, this kind of "celebrating poplar" has developed into willow and locust trees. Later, many vassal States of Kuji continued this tree planting activity as a form of celebration for a long time.

2. Treat diseases and plant wild apricots.

Dong Feng, a famous Dongwu doctor in the Three Kingdoms, is skilled in medical skills, poor and charitable, and does not accept gifts for treating diseases. He only asked to cure a small patient, plant an apricot tree, cure a serious patient and plant five apricot trees. For a long time, there are 65,438+10,000 apricot trees in front of and behind his house, which is called "Lindongxing County". After praising Zheng, whenever apricots are ripe, they will be given Zen food instead of food to help the poor. This is the "Xinglin story" handed down from generation to generation as a beautiful talk.

3. Homesick willow planting

Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married Songzan Gambu in Tibet, and specially brought willow saplings from Chang 'an and planted them around the Dachao Temple in Lhasa to express her thoughts about the willow-shaded hometown. Therefore, these trees are called "Liu Tang" or "Princess Willow". Now it has become a historical witness of Tibetan-Chinese friendly exchanges.

4. Write poems to protect trees

Patriotic star Feng Yuxiang loves trees as much as his life. He once made a military order to protect trees in the army: "One horse chews one tree, the rod is responsible for twenty, and ten trees are replanted." He was stationed in Beijing and led the officers and men to plant trees extensively. He is called "general tree planting". When he was in Xuzhou, he led troops to plant a large number of trees and wrote a poem about forest protection to show the benefit of the people: "Feng lives in Xuzhou, with lush trees;" Whoever cuts down my tree, I will cut off his head. "

The significance of Arbor Day

Afforestation can not only green and beautify homes, but also play a role in expanding forest resources, preventing soil erosion, protecting farmland, regulating climate and promoting economic development. This is a grand project for the benefit of present and future generations.

In order to protect forestry resources, beautify the environment and maintain ecological balance, many countries in the world have set up Arbor Day according to their own actual conditions. With the enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection and their active participation in afforestation activities, our living environment will be continuously improved.
