1. The Chinese nation has a glorious tradition of afforestation since ancient times. Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, was a local official. Wherever he goes, he plants flowers and trees, which is also reflected in his poem: "Plant two pine trees with your own hands and talk about them as guests"; "White-headed plants and pine laurels will see the forest sooner or later." When Su Shi was appointed as the secretariat of Hangzhou, he built the West Lake and planted trees on the lake embankment, leaving a famous landscape of "Xiao Chun, Su Causeway". Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Liuzhou, but he still did not forget to plant trees: "Liuzhou secretariat, planting willow river"; "200 citrus trees were planted by hand, and new leaves spread all over the city in spring." At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zuo led the counter-insurgency movement in Xinjiang and planted willows along the way, which was called Zuo in history. Yang Changjun, his assistant, sang in the poem: "Newly planted willows are three thousand miles away, attracting the spring breeze.

In our country, almost all places of interest have the shadow left by their ancestors. In the Mausoleum of Huangdi, it is said that the cypress trees planted by Huangdi himself (called "Huangdi cypress") are lush and nostalgic; In the ancient city of Qufu, there is Confucius' "hand-planted cypress". There is also a "cypress planting by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" in Dai Temple on Mount Tai. These thousand-year-old trees have now become key protected cultural relics. "There are many people reading trees in the atrium", and the descendants of the Chinese people will naturally have reverence for "the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the cool".

The ancients not only attached importance to planting trees, but also attached great importance to protecting them. As early as the Xia Dynasty, China had administrative regulations to protect forests. "Yizhoushu" records: "Danger is forbidden, and there is no axe in spring and March, so it will become a plant." During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Guan Zhong once said: "If you are a king, you cannot be the king of the world." Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin stipulates: "It is a crime for people to chop mulberry dates as wage earners." When Yongzheng ascended the throne in the Qing Dynasty, he demanded strict protection of the mountain forest: "It is forbidden to trample on cattle and sheep and bandits to steal.
