Why are there so many place names named after pine trees in China?

People can not only obtain daily necessities from trees and forests, but also enjoy the joy of life from the natural environment formed by them. These are all important reasons why people like to name place names after trees. In more than 20 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions from south to north and from east to west in China, there are more than 90 place names named after pine trees.

There are many kinds of pine trees in China, and each pine tree is suitable for certain natural conditions, and each has its own distribution range. Different pine species, in different areas where they are located, tend to be the main tree species that make up forest vegetation. For example, in the northeast of China, there are Pinus sylvestris sylvestris that are resistant to -40 -50 low temperatures and can grow in sandy areas.

The dwarf forest composed of Yanpine is distributed on the top of the northern peak of the Daxing'an Mountains, and the trunks lie flat on the ground and grow prostrately, becoming the upper limit of forest vegetation distribution. Fenglin Nature Reserve on the southern slope of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains in Heilongjiang Province is the famous hometown of Korean pine, with a height of up to 40 meters and a diameter at breast height. Pinus tabuliformis is a representative tree species, but due to long-term damage, there are few old forests at present, only seen in a few ancient temples and famous mountain scenic spots, such as Qianshan in Liaodong, Taishan in Shandong and other places, there are still 200-300 years old natural forests of Pinus tabuliformis.

There is a 130-140-year-old natural forest of red pine in Zhuanghe County, Liaoning. Whitebark pine is endemic to northern China, and there are patches of natural forests in Lantian County, Shaanxi. "White Pine Ridge" in Qinyang County, Henan Province, is named after the whitebark pine that has grown.

"White Pine Ridge" was a densely forested area 2,000 years ago. At the site of the Tianwang Hall of Haifa Temple in Shijingshan District, Beijing, there are still two large whitebark pines with a height of 30 meters and a chest circumference of 6 meters. In the south of China, you can see warm pine forests composed of Masson pine, Yunnan pine, Simao pine, etc.; On Hainan Island and Leizhou Peninsula, you can see tropical pine forests made up of Hainan pine.

Huashan pine is the most widely distributed coniferous pine tree in southwest China; Bashan pine is an endemic species in the Qinling, Bashan and Western Hubei Mountains in central China; Alpine pine is a vast pure forest in the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest; Huangshan pine is an important tree species that constitutes the important landscape of Huangshan Scenic Area. In addition, there are some tree species that do not belong to the pine genus, such as larch, golden pine, cedar, mountain pine, sand pine, larch pine, water pine, etc., which are also commonly called "pine" by people, and the pine team has been strengthened. This is also one of the reasons why there are many names after pines.

Pine is also known as evergreen tree, it has a lot of species, the more common pine names are black pine, Huangshan pine, Taiwan pine, pine sylvestris, pine, masson pine, alpine pine, red pine, Bashan pine, whitebark pine, North American brevileaf pine, five-needle pine, tree pine, Korean pine and so on.

In the Yellow Mountain of Anhui, pine, cloud and stone are known as the "three uniques", and the pine is the head.

Pine, bamboo, and plum are known as the "three friends of the cold year", which is a tenacious spirit that is not afraid of adversity and overcoming difficulties.

Pine: not only many species, but also widely distributed, such as Pinus tabuliformis, Pinus sylvestris, Pinus nigra and Pinus sylvestris distributed in North China and Northwest Provinces, Pinus massoniana, Pinus huangshan, Pinus alpine in Central China, Pinus bashan in Qinba Mountains, as well as Pinus taiwanensis and Pinus breviflora in North America, most of which are the main tree species for afforestation in barren mountains in China.

Pine trees are wheel-shaped branches, with long internodes, relatively thin and straight branches or slightly curved downwards, and slender needles in bundles. The canopy of the tree does not look compact, and the word "pine" is a visual description of the characteristics of its canopy. Therefore, "pine" is a type of tree with a canopy pine.

Pine trees are sturdy and have a very long lifespan.

Pine trees, plum blossoms, and bamboos are also known as the three friends of the year. Named for their tenacious vitality in the cold winter season, these three plants are symbols of noble personality in traditional Chinese culture, and they have been introduced to Japan with the meaning of longevity. The pattern of the three friends of the year synthesized by pine, bamboo and plum is a common decorative theme in ancient Chinese utensils, clothing and architecture.

The three friends of the cold have gradually evolved into an auspicious pattern that is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, and has been passed down to this day.

The quality of the three friends of the cold year:

Pine and bamboo do not wither in winter, and plum blooms in the cold, so it is called the three friends of the cold year. Plum, bamboo, pine is to take the plum Han Lixiu, bamboo thin and longevity, turquoise ugly and literary, is the meaning of three friends. When getting married in the old society, the couplets of "bamboo shoots are born on the edge of bamboo, and plum knots are red and fruitful" are pasted on the left and right sides of the gate, which is because the word "bamboo shoots" and the "grandson" of the descendants have the same sound and sound.

The three friends of the cold refer to three kinds of plants: pine, bamboo and plum. Named for their tenacious vitality in the cold winter season, these three plants are a symbol of noble personality in traditional Chinese culture and a metaphor for loyal friendship. When it was transmitted to Japan, it was added to the meaning of longevity.

The pattern of the three friends of the year synthesized by pine, bamboo and plum is a common decorative theme in ancient Chinese utensils, clothing and architecture. Surround pine, bamboo, and plum into a clump; It is divided into three clusters, representing pine, bamboo, and plum with simple lines, forming a pattern: a cave door composed of pine, bamboo, and plum.

For example, Pinus tabuliformis, Pinus sylvestris, Pinus sylvestris sylvestris and Pinus sylvestris sylvestris distributed in North China and Northwest China, Pinus massoniana, Pinus huangshanensis and Pinus alpine in Central China, Pinus bashanensis in Qinba Mountains, as well as Pinus taiwanensis and Pinus breviflora in North America, are the main tree species for afforestation in barren mountains in China.

The environment in which pine trees grow:

The vast majority of pine trees prefer light, and their appearance is reflected in the sparse distribution of the canopy and the strong ability of natural pruning, so in terms of physiology, their compensation points will not be the same as those of other tree species.

During the process of forestation, pioneer tree species are usually formed. Once the primeval forest is damaged by external forces, the pioneer tree species will develop rapidly and replace the original tree species, but its own stability is not ideal.

If pine trees are able to form a specific environment, they will be replaced by species with strong negative tolerance and longevity, and eventually lose their unique advantages. For pine species, most of the tree species can be substituted for each other, especially the ideal species for negative tolerance, which has significant advantages.
