For 5,000 years, in this vast land, there are many beautiful scenery worth visiting. A large number of scenic spots often make many tourists sad and happy. There are so many places to choose from, so many scenic spots to visit, and so many things that we have never encountered or even heard of.

No, the ancient tree that the author is going to introduce today can be said to be very peculiar and weird, let's see what is going on with the author!

This ancient ginkgo tree is located in the Dengfeng Shaolin Temple in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. Everyone should be familiar with Shaolin Temple, and Henan Shaolin Temple is one of the leaders. Dengfeng Shaolin Temple is not only a national 5A-level scenic spot, but also a world cultural heritage.

There are so many stories that have happened in this Shaolin Temple, some of which are household names and some of which are little known. Dengfeng Shaolin Temple is known as "the world's first temple", and even a ginkgo tree here is covered with a layer of mystery.

This ginkgo tree is up to 1,500 years old. The height of the ancient tree is 25 meters, and the measured crown width is as high as 37 meters. Before 1500, a total of 2 ginkgo trees were planted in front of the Tianwang Hall of Shaolin Temple, these 2 ginkgo trees are male and female, male and female, but with the passage of time, another ginkgo tree has disappeared in the long river of time, and now the only remaining one is a male tree.

Many tour guides will warn young men and women who accompany the team, if they are not married or single who have not yet fallen in love, try not to take a photo with this big tree, after all, the ancient tree is psychic, and it is also a thousand-year-old tree in the Shaolin Temple. Naturally, many people choose to believe such a statement that seems to have no scientific truth. Over time, such behavior became a default rule.

However, although it is not possible to take a group photo, every time it is autumn, this ginkgo tree still becomes a focal point of the entire Shaolin Temple.

If you get close to this ancient tree, you will find that there will be many round holes of different diameters and sizes on the trunk of the tree, which were created by the monks of Shaolin Temple who practiced one-finger Zen or other fingertip kung fu. This makes this ancient tree have a unique majestic momentum in the vicissitudes of history.

As we all know, life in the world has a certain regularity, the life of normal plants is far greater than the life of animals, and plants can also carry out the cycle and the change of life, all the life of animals is only once, since the development and evolution of human beings from apes to the present is only 100 million years, however, there is really a tree with an age of more than 1.5 billion years, this tree must have gradually evolved with the development of the times, and it has long been a matter of human beings, and it is certainly not the original state.

And since the birth of life, there have been one disaster after another on the earth, such as asteroids hitting the earth, or various volcanic eruptions on the earth, which may directly cause the loss of plant life, so an ordinary plant can survive the turmoil on the earth in the past 1.5 billion years, it is simply impossible, and no life on the earth can exceed 1.5 billion years, otherwise all this is not logical at all, and can only be regarded as a fallacy.
