The ginkgo is majestic, with curved trunks, lush and solemn. In China's famous mountains, rivers, ancient temples and monasteries, there are all tall and straight ancient ginkgo trees. They have gone through many vicissitudes, dating back to ancient and modern times, giving people a sense of mystery. The poets and poets of the past dynasties set foot in the temples and left many poems, poems and steles. I am proud of the beauty of the scenery in my books and my merits in my writings.
At a time when various places are promoting cultural tourism, there is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in one place, which adds a bit of depth and mystery to the local history and culture. For this reason, many people have promoted themselves as "No. 1 in the country" to promote themselves. However, in the absence of data support from experts and authoritative departments, it is really confusing and unconvincing who is the "No. 1".
This article briefly organizes the information that can be collected based on the encyclopedias of major search engines. I believe everyone can make their own decisions about the results.
1. What is included in this article are the current "Internet celebrity" thousand-year-old ginkgo trees, that is, planted trees related to ancient celebrities or recorded legends. Wild ginkgo trees are not included, such as: Huang Guizhou Fuquan City The five-thousand-year-old wild ginkgo tree in Si Town, the thousand-year-old ancient ginkgo tree group in Suizhou City, Hubei, and the thousand-year-old wild ginkgo tree deep in the mountains of Xiushan County, Yunnan, etc.
2. All the information in this article comes from Baidu and 360 "Encyclopedia". The data is provided by the local government or department itself. The author just copied and pasted it truthfully and attached screenshots to prove the authenticity. If you have any questions, please contact the author. Nothing to do.
3. The so-called first and second theories should focus on the longevity of the tree. However, most of the data provided by each company has not been confirmed by a third party. The so-called tree height, shade cover and how many people embrace it Said it can only be used as a reference. In contrast, diameter at breast height or tree girth should have some scientific basis - after all, annual rings are the most direct reflection of the age of trees.
4. Only legends without detailed data or actual pictures are not officially included, but the name of the place of origin is appended.
5. To facilitate comparison, the tree girth or diameter at breast height is listed in order from largest to smallest.
