When it comes to "expensive" trees, perhaps the first thing that many people think of is a cash cow, or a fortune tree... Wait, some of the tree species related to "money".
However, the cash cow, the fortune tree, which sounds very "expensive" tree species, is actually not valuable, because they represent only a kind of meaning, and they can not really make money and get rich.
The three trees that will be introduced below are the real Lamborghini in the tree, not only valuable, but also very valuable, so expensive that you can't imagine.
The first, the Huangshan Welcome Pine
Huangshan Welcoming Pine stands in Yuping Tower, Huangshan Scenic Area, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, at an altitude of 1670 meters above sea level next to the Green Lion Stone.
The welcoming pine tree is 9.91 meters high, the tree circumference is 2.05 meters, the branch height is 2.54 meters, it has been 800 years old, because the trunk of the tree protrudes up to 7.6 meters long two large side branches to the front, just a hospitable host, waving his arms, warmly welcoming guests from all over the world to visit Huangshan.
Why is it "expensive"?
Listen to me give you a break, and you'll understand:
Due to the "hospitality" of the welcome pine, the tourists who come to visit every year are endless, bustling, take 2021, every day to "see" the welcome pine tourists up to 7,000 people, holidays to double, even according to a person 100 yuan ticket to calculate (in fact, more than that), a day there is 70,000 yuan of income, and a year there are more than 25 million income, and this is only an income of the welcome pine.
If you add a series of "additional" income such as yingkesong's "portrait" usage fee, group photo fee, etc., it is a proper "annual small goal".
Therefore, the welcome pine is also jokingly called: the living cash cow... A year can have nearly 100 million yuan in income, the name of the cash cow is well deserved.
It is said that for the sake of this "cash cow", the relevant local departments have long implemented "special protection" for it, built a "caretaker" hut next to it, arranged full-time nursing staff all year round, also called pine keepers, and recorded in detail the changes in its trunk, bark and pine leaves, as well as changes in diseases and insect pests and weather, as soon as there is an abnormality, and cooperate with technical personnel to take effective measures. To be able to enjoy such treatment, Yingke Pine can be said to be unique in the mainland tree industry and a family of its own.
Shousong people + private doctors, this is the peak of the tree "life", you say it is expensive?
Summary: How can a pine tree have such a big "charm", rather than saying that it grows "strange", it is better to say that it has grown a unique hospitable nature of Chinese: all that come are guests... You say yes or no?
The second tree, the Mother Tree of Wuyi Mountain, is the Great Red Robe
A DaHongpao tea mother tree that grows on the cliffs of the Jiulongqiao Scenic Area in Wuyi Mountain has a total of three six trees (the Dahongpao Tea Mother Tree in the Jiulongqiao Scenic Area actually has only three trees, namely Qidan, Quetong, and Beidou, while the other three are the offspring of beidou asexual reproduction, which is not equal to the mother tree, so there are three six trees), which has a history of more than 360 years.
Why is the Big Red Robe of the Mother Tree of Wuyi Mountain "expensive"?
Because the mother tree of Da Hong Pao is rare, the wild one is even more rare, and a wild Da Hong Pao mother tree with a history of more than 360 years is even more incalculable.
As a tribute tea for the royal family of the past, the annual output of the mother tree Da Hong Pao is only eight or two, just so-called: the rarity is expensive, it is said that the most expensive time, only 20 grams, it sold a high price of 208,000, that is, a pound of more than 5 million.
However, even if you have money, you can't drink it now, in order to better protect it, the relevant state departments have insured it by one hundred million, and strictly prohibited the picking of the mother tree Da Hong Pao, and its last 20 grams have been given to the National Museum for permanent collection.
In 1972, when Nixon visited China, Chairman Mao once presented him with 4 or 2 mother trees and big red robes.
4 two, also only 200 grams, the amount of two hands, Nixon received Chairman Mao's gift, such a "stingy" gift, felt very "faceless", he asked Zhou Enlai next to him:
"Dear Mr. Prime Minister, why is your chairman so stingy, isn't it a very common black tea leaf, why can't you send more?"
Zhou Enlai explained in English with a smile:
"Mr. President, you don't know, this is the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, the big red robe, in the past, the royal tribute, when the most expensive time, a pound can sell for more than 800,000 US dollars... Oh, our chairman this is the 'half of the country' gifted to you, how is it still stingy? ”
When Nixon heard this, he was in awe:
"My god, this, this is so precious..."
Summary: According to the "Wuyishan World Natural and Cultural Heritage List" approved by the United Nations, the mother tree of Wuyishan, Dahongpao, has now been listed as an ancient tree and a famous tree in the World Cultural Heritage.
The third tree, Guizhou Golden Silk Nanmu Tree
This golden silk nanmu tree in Guizhou is located in a village in Qingbanpo Town, Sinan County, which is the largest known golden silk nanmu in the mainland, the tree is 50 meters high, the tree circumference is 9.6 meters, it takes 9-10 adults to hold it, it has been 1300 years old, known as the king of nanmu.
People familiar with Nanmu should know that as one of the four famous trees (Nan, Camphor, Zi, And Qi), Jinsi nan has always been regarded as the most ideal, most precious, and most advanced building material, in ancient times, it can generally only be used in royal architecture, therefore, since ancient Jinsi nan is also known as the imperial wood, royal special wood, ordinary people do not even have to think about it.
So, how "expensive" is this golden silk nanmu tree in Guizhou?
Listen to me give you an example:
It is said that once, when a strong wind blew a branch of the king of the nanmu tree at night, do you know how much this branch that was broken by the wind was sold in the end?
The answer is: more than 400,000 yuan.
It is said that it is still a price, and there is no counter-offer.
According to expert estimates, this golden silk nanmu tree in Guizhou is at least worth more than 30 million yuan, and it is still valuable and marketless... Why?
It's simple: even if you can afford it, people don't necessarily sell it...
Summary: It is said that many people in this small village in Guizhou regard the king of Nanmu as a sacred tree, full of admiration and worship, and even many people also recognize the sacred tree as a "dry father", hoping to get the protection of its old man's home, and every New Year's Festival, this golden silk Nanmu is simply more lively than the temple fair, everyone gathers in groups under the tree to worship, burning incense, prostrating, some elderly people, there are words in their mouths:
"Lord Of the Sacred Tree, I pray that you will bless the wind and rain and the peace of man and animal!"
However, this golden silk Nanmu King is really a "god", although more than a thousand years have passed, but its "old man" is still full of vitality, leafy, except for a few dead branches, most of the branches and leaves are basically growing well, full of vitality, giving people strength.
Overall:
China's "most expensive" three trees: first, Huangshan Welcome Pine
Second, Wuyi Mountain Mother Tree Big Red Robe
Third, Guizhou golden silk nanmu tree
