Fuzhou,the capital of Fujian Province in Southeast China,has a well-known nickname “The City of the Banyan Tree“.

中国东南部福建省省会福州它有一个声名远扬的别名榕城。

The artificial planting of banyan trees has been underway in Fuzhou since the end of the Tang Dynasty.

自唐末以来福州就开始了人工植榕。

Meaning,banyan trees have been planted in Fuzhou for thousands of years.

也就是说福州种植榕树已有上千年的历史。

Especially in the Northern Song Dynasty,Zhang Boyu,the governor of the state,advocated that“the whole city should be green,and no parasols should be needed in the summer".

特别是北宋时期太守张伯玉倡导满城绿荫署不张盖。

And so Fuzhou gained the reputation of ”The City of the Banyan Tree".

使福州有了榕城的美称。

Banyan trees are evergreen,wity luxuriant branches and leaves.

榕树四季常青 枝荣叶茂 雄伟挺拔 生机盎然。

There are nearly one thousang ancient banyan trees in Fuzhou,which have come to symbolize the spirit of the city.

福州城区现有古榕树近千株象征着福州城市精神风貌。

The thousand-year-old banyan tree in Fuzhou National Forest Park is known as the largest banyan tree in Fuzhou.

位于福州国家森林公园内的一株千年古榕被誉为福州第一大榕。

With a height of 20 meters and the ground projection area of the canopy more than 1,330 square meters,this tree is truly spectacular.

树高20米树冠地面投影面积达1330多平方米蔚为壮观。

When spring comes,about half of its crown sprouts first,and when the old leaves gradually fall off,the other half of the crown begins to sprout,forming a pleasant scene with distinct layers and different colors.

每当春回大地之时古榕约有一半树冠首先萌芽待老叶子逐渐落光另一半树冠则新叶初萌形成层次分明色彩不一的怡人景象。

According to experts,this banyan tree is likely to be two trees growing in one.

据有关人员研究介绍这颗榕树很可能是两株榕树生长在一块而不是一株。

And because Ficus concinna has no clinging roots that reach the ground,in order to support the heavy horizontal trunk,and avoid the trunk breaking,the craftsmen of the forest park have built concrete columns is the shape of clinging roots to support the trunk of the banyan tree which is extending outwards,year by year.

又因小叶榕没有气根柱地为了支持沉重的横向主干避免主干折断森林公园的巧匠塑造了仿气根混凝土柱支撑逐年向外伸长的榕树主干。

This King of Banyan Trees grows by the lake.

这颗榕树王生长在湖边。

In the scorching sun,the lake reflects the luxuriant branches and leaves of this ancient banyan tree,providing great shade for local people.

烈日下波光倒影映着古榕枝繁叶茂为当地人提供了纳凉消暑的好去处。
