It symbolizes auspiciousness, happiness and beauty. The national locust has tenacious vitality, strong adaptability and long lifespan, so in the corner of Tai'an, there are still ancient national locust trees with a history of hundreds of years.
It is understood that there are 29 national locust trees in Tai'an City that are more than 100 years old, listed as ancient trees and famous trees, and are under key protection. There are also many ancient locust trees on Mount Taishan, such as the "Wolong Locust" of doumu Palace, the "four locust trees" of His Excellency Hu Tian, and so on.
From October 18th to October 20th, Qilu Evening News Qilu OnePoint reporters came to several places where the long-standing national locust trees are located, Such as Taicheng Qili Community, Hushan East Road, Taishan Street, Daimiao Qianmen, Fuquan Road... I visited these ancient chinese locusts that have endured ups and downs and witnessed the progress and development of Taicheng. They are still leafy, still straight and straight, still green and flowing.

Hundreds of years of ancient locust trees have witnessed the changes of Taicheng and carried the living memories of generations in Tai'an. With a century-old history, the trunk of the chinese locust tree is straight and the canopy is strong. It has become a landscape that cannot be ignored in Tai'an, attracting many nearby residents and tourists from other places to come and watch.
As the saying goes, "it is better to cool off with your back to the big tree", under the locust tree in Tai'an, it is a good place for residents to cool off, play chess, gather and eat in the summer, and has become part of folk culture. The elderly people near the locust tree accompanied the sunrise and sunset, chatting under the locust tree, playing cards, walking, walking the dog, drinking tea... Under the protection of the lush foliage of the locust tree, enjoy the peace and quiet of the moment.
There is a group of regular customers in the small square in front of the Dai Temple, and the four of them sit around a table, often playing chess and cards here. Uncle Li, who is playing chess, is more than seventy years old this year and is a native of Tai'an. He said that he knew best about the ancient locust tree on the west side of the Shuanglong Tianchi, and when he was a child, he heard his family say that it was planted in the Qing Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 100 years. This ancient locust tree, very well protected, is surrounded by a white jade railing on the outside. There is a pool next to it, and the upper part of the pool is surrounded by stone slabs and separated by square stone pillars. The pillar head and the pillar body are carved with floral stone patterns, and there are four large characters of "Dragon Leaping Heavenly Pond" inlaid in the middle of the stone slab on the north side, which echo with the leafy locust tree, which is very tai'an local characteristics.
There are also two ancient locust trees with a long history on Fuquan Road on the west side of the Dai Temple, which have thick trunks and endless streams of out-of-town tourists stop to take pictures. When you stop and look closely at these two strong trees, you will find that they are covered with large and small knots and deep and shallow holes. This is the trace left by the years, the embodiment of old age and virtue.

In addition to these hollows, there are many cracks that climb up the branches of the centenarian locust tree. The trunks of the ancient Chinese locust trees in the Qili community in Taicheng city filled the hole with cement and tied the cracks with special iron rings. According to Grandma Wang of the Zhongqili community, this big locust tree has been more than 800 years old, and the original name of the Zhongqili community was the big locust tree, which was named after this locust tree. Nearby residents respect this ancient tree, and because of this tree, the whole community is more united and more cohesive. People in the community who love locust trees will also regularly maintain this ancient locust tree. Being able to live next to this tree is a symbol of good luck.
On October 20 (the fifteenth day of the ninth lunar month), the aroma of chinese locusts in the Qili community in Taicheng is filled with aromas. Ms. Han, who came to burn incense and pray for blessings, said that she would sit quietly next to the locust tree on the first and fifteenth day of the first month of the month, pray sincerely and tie red silk. The red ribbons and red cloth strips tied to the trees brought vitality to the ancient national locust. The meaning of tying red ribbons and red cloth strips is: make a wish and pray for blessings. Ms. Han said that according to legend, there was originally a temple at this ancient locust tree in Zhongqili. Come here to wish the family harmony, good health, smooth career and children's academic progress. This is a custom handed down by the old man in the family, and she wants to inherit it.
In addition to the beautiful meaning of the blessing of the ancient locust, Ms. Zhang, a resident of Tai'an, said that the national locust is full of treasures, and when it bears flowers and fruits, it is taken down for medicinal purposes, which has the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood and stopping bleeding. When someone at home is uncomfortable, they often come to take some soaking water to drink, which is good for the body.
<b>There was a locust tree in front of the door, and the</b> <b>source of wealth rolled</b> <b>in</b>
There is a Chinese folk saying: "A locust tree in front of the door is either a treasure or a fortune." "At the northwest corner of the intersection of Hushan East Road and Huanggushi Avenue, there is a large locust tree shop, and in front of the shop there is a large locust tree with lush leaves. Mr. Han, the owner of the shop, said that the name of the shop was taken because of the locust tree. Because I grew up playing under the locust tree, I have a deep affection for this ancient locust tree. The name of the locust tree is also taken by the name of the locust tree, which is also the beautiful meaning of the locust tree, hoping that the business will get better and better. Last year, due to the lack of rain, the leaves of the locust tree were somewhat dried up, but under the conditions of abundant rain this year and the careful maintenance of the staff who regularly come to protect the tree, the locust tree has returned to its former leafy branches, which is a good sign.
There is an ancient locust tree on the non-motorized road northwest of the intersection of Taishan Avenue and Freight Yard Road, and people passing by have taken a detour. Ms. Ge, who passed by, came to Tai'an to visit relatives and friends this time. She said that Tai'an's first impression of her was that the air was good, in large part because of the city's greening. The stout ancient locust tree in the middle of the road is not affected by traffic, and the rows of leafy plane trees on the side of the road remind her of the plane trees on the East Lake Greenway in Wuhan, her hometown, and it is because of the existence of trees that the air in the city is fresher. The growth of a tree takes decades, and its benefits to us are not only shade, but also the absorption of harmful gases to improve our environment and bring us a higher quality of life. When encountering a precious ancient tree like this, it is best to protect it like this, and in the case of the need to open up a road, it is also necessary to protect a tree to the greatest extent, so that man and nature can coexist in harmony.
In the protection of trees, Tai'an City Landscaping Management Service Center has made efforts. Zhu Xiaoli, chief of the Ancient Trees and Famous Trees Protection Section of the Tai'an City Landscaping Management Service Center, said that as the city tree of Tai'an City, Dongyue Avenue, Longtan Road, Daizong Street, Naihe West Road, and Lingshan Avenue all use the National Locust as a street tree. In the past, the staff of the centuries-old ancient wood national locust was carefully cared for. It will establish archives and list protection, verify and identify the national locust listed as ancient trees in the built-up area, register and create records, unify numbers, establish graphic archives and electronic information databases, and design protection plates for listing protection. Implement territorial management and hierarchical protection.
