For example, trees will really be killed by lightning, which is true. In the eyes of ordinary people, the probability of a person dying from lightning stroke is only one in ten million. When we were young, we were taught more or less not to hide under trees in rainy days, otherwise it would increase the probability of being struck by lightning, which is very dangerous.
But even so, few people have really seen the tree struck by lightning, but there is such a tree in Yelang Valley of Huaxi, which is over 4300 years old, but even so, it has not escaped the fate of being struck by lightning.
To understand this tree, it is necessary for us to know its location-Huaxi Yelang Valley. Located in Gui 'an New District of Guizhou Province, it is a unique mysterious valley in Huaxi University Town, which belongs to karst landform, so it is also called Yelang Valley Karst Ecological Park.
The whole ecological park is located in the Grand Canyon, covering an area of more than 300 mu, at the foot of Cape Mountain. At the top of Cape Mountain, the ancient Yelang Tunpu site has been well preserved.
Yelang Valley is a typical "propaganda is not worthy of hardware strength". Up to now, most people have mentioned that Yelang can only think of the derogatory idiom "Yelang is arrogant". But in ancient times, Yelang Kingdom was one of the ancient countries with the same reputation as Loulan, and even became famous all over the world. In Yelang Valley, you can feel the unique historical and cultural atmosphere left by Yelang ancient country.
The poor Phoebe bournei tree is located near Yelang Valley, and the government has specially allocated a piece of land for it. As a small courtyard, the first thing I saw after entering the small courtyard was this towering old tree.
The scenery around the yard is relatively simple, that is, the trees are lush, among which the golden nanmu tree is the most eye-catching and one of the key protected objects in Yelang Valley.
In ancient Chinese history, Nan, Zhang, Zi and Ba were called "four famous trees". In ancient times, furniture made from them could only be used by the royal family and some senior officials, but civilians were imprisoned for cutting down trees without permission.
Nanmu is the first of the four famous trees, and it is a treasure among treasures. At present, in China, because of the scarcity of Phoebe bournei, it is even listed in the national second-class protected plant list. This golden nanmu tree in Yelang Valley has lived for more than 4300 years and has been well maintained in the valley.
Its trunk surface is not as rough as ordinary trees, but very smooth, and its color is not dark brown, but brownish gold with bright colors.
This golden nanmu was discovered by a villager in Tongren, Guizhou. At that time, there was a thunder in the sky, and the mountain caught fire. He went up with the villagers to put out the fire and called the fire.
After the fire was put out, he patrolled the mountain and found this unusual golden nanmu tree. After all, its color is so special in ordinary trees.
But at that time, the villagers didn't know what tree it was, so he asked the local old people, but even the 98-year-old people didn't know about it. Because of its huge size and unique color, this tree immediately attracted many people in the village to watch. Among them, an old man speculated that it might be a golden nanmu tree.
However, because the old man only heard of this tree from others' mouths and didn't really see it with his own eyes, he finally just guessed. Later, the villagers reported the existence of this tree to the village, and the forestry experts invited by the village identified it and found that it was indeed a golden nanmu, and it was 4300 years old. But unfortunately, it is now "dead", and the cause of death is lightning, but not this time, but a few years ago.
Later, with the approval of the relevant departments, this golden nanmu was cut down. Although it is "dead", it will not rot and disappear like many trees because of its anti-corrosion performance. After the staff cut it down, they built a road and transported it away. A small part of it was sent to a museum in Guiyang as an exhibit, and now it has become the treasure of the museum.
But most of them are placed beside the Yelang Valley in Huaxi, weighing 16 tons, or about 10 meter, which has become a famous scenic spot and people can still see it now. According to expert appraisal, the golden nanmu in the valley is worth tens of millions.
Knowing this tree makes people feel that things are impermanent. After thousands of years of rain, snow, wind and frost, the tree finally died of lightning, which is also quite emotional.
Minnan, who was over 4300 years old, was moved to Yelang Valley after being struck by lightning. Expert: It's worth tens of millions.
The distressing Minnan, who lived for more than 4,300 years but was struck by lightning, has now become a landscape in Yelang Valley.
