Jinjiang genuine 56
Tao Xiaoqing and Tang Jingjing looked up at the ceiling with their mouths slightly open and eyes full of shock. The expressions of the other tourists were exactly the same.
It's so shocking.
The ancient ginkgo tree on the left is more than 6,000 years old, more than 50 meters high and 5 meters in diameter. It takes more than a dozen people holding hands to surround it. The crown area is more than 600 square meters (nearly one acre)!
It was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2001 as the 'largest ginkgo tree in the world'.
The Xuanyuan Cypress on the right at the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is over 5,000 years old and is the most famous tree among my country's vast sea of ancient cypress trees.
Its trunk is straight, and its outstretched branches are intertwined and winding upwards, vigorous and verdant. It is said to have been planted by Emperor Huangdi himself. It has survived more than 5,000 years of wind and frost and is known as the 'Father of Cypress in the World'.
In front of such towering trees, those century-old trees that usually amaze people have no advantage.
It's like the difference between a great-great-great-great-grandfather and a child. No matter the crown width, diameter, or tree height, they are far inferior and cannot be compared at all.
The vicissitudes and grandeur unique to ancient giants are a temperament that ordinary ancient trees cannot possess.
It is the weight of history and the changes of the times.
Tourists standing under the tree seemed to see the changes of times and dynasties.
Human dynasties have collapsed one after another, and the long river of history has continued to move forward amidst the changing times, but these ancient trees have always stood tall, like witnesses of history, witnessing the rise and fall of China from ancient times to the present.
It is of great significance.
Ye Han originally chose these two trees as representatives because he felt they best represented the characteristics of China.
Tao Xiaoqing looked upward along the thick trunk of the ginkgo tree. There was a hole at the base of the trunk of the ancient ginkgo tree that was big enough for two people to pass through, as if a giant tree was divided into two in the middle; moist moss covered the bottom, and the gray-brown bark and partially carbonized base showed its vicissitudes and antiquity.
Looking further up, layer upon layer of branches are stacked up every few meters, extending in all directions, like a ladder rising straight into the sky until it is level with the hill.
Standing under the tree, you can only see several layers of branches crisscrossing upwards, stretching so far that you can't see where the top of the tree is at all.
The intertwined branches have clear layers, and the large ginkgo leaves block the sunlight. Everywhere you look is golden, completely illuminating the ceiling on the left.
On the ground, the area inside the fence was also golden, and countless ginkgo leaves were scattered around the exhibition hall, just like the scene when the golden autumn of October came.
When the wind blows, the ginkgo leaves below are blown by the wind, and the branches sway gently. The whole tree seems to come alive, and sprinkles bits of gold under the sunlight, creating a beautiful and moving scene.
It is obviously ancient yet full of vitality, demonstrating the immortality of life.
Tao Xiaoqing looked up for a long time before moving her gaze to the Xuanyuan cypress on the right.
The cypress tree is tough and vigorous, with a thick trunk standing upright. The branches on both sides stretch out to both sides like a coiled dragon. It is evergreen all year round, and the lush green color covers the branches in clusters, forming a thick shade that reaches up to the sky.
"Xiaoqing, look!" Tang Jingjing pointed to a certain place on the ceiling and motioned her friend to look.
Tao Xiaoqing looked in that direction and saw a touch of green growing at the end of the branch on the lower right side of the Xuanyuan Cypress. It was completely different from the surrounding gray bark and green old leaves. It was more tender and green, dotted on the old branches, representing new life.
The old tree sprouts new leaves, and thousands of years of vitality are revealed at this moment.
For some reason, she felt a surge of excitement in her heart.
The Tree of Life...
Tao Xiaoqing seemed to understand the meaning.
As we were sighing, a tourist reacted first.
"No, no... this isn't true!"
"Yeah, I was just wondering if Xuanyuan Bai was in Shaanxi, how did he get here?"
"Of course not. How could there be thousands of years old trees growing in the exhibition hall?"
"Oh my god, when I first came here I told myself it was fake, but I forgot about it after a few seconds."
"It's so realistic, how did you do that?"
Tao Xiaoqing also reacted, and when she and Tang Jingjing looked at each other, they saw surprise in each other's eyes.
That's right, when she first entered the exhibition hall, she looked around. Although the exhibition hall on the first floor was very high, with a ceiling height of nearly 6 meters and a wide field of vision, it was obvious that it was impossible to plant ancient giant trees. It must be fake.
She looked at the sign in the middle of the tree trunk:
Ancient Ginkgo (replica): The tree is over 6,000 years old and the original tree is located in Lijiawan Village, Fuquan City, Guizhou Province
Xuanyuan Cypress at the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum (replica), over 5,000 years old, the original tree is located at the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in Shaanxi Province
The sign says it is a replica model. What is placed in the fence is just a replica of the tree trunk, and the leaves and branches above are all 3D simulation effects.
But...she looked up at the branches and golden ginkgo leaves covering her head, and immediately had another illusion.
Tao Xiaoqing shook her head lightly.
It’s so realistic, is this the effect brought by technology?
She picked up a fallen ginkgo leaf from the ground. The fan-shaped leaf was a brilliant golden color with clear veins - was it true?
How can it be true?
Tao Xiaoqing was in a trance for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that the leaves of the ginkgo trees in the ancient tree area would fall in late autumn.
These ginkgo leaves should have come from there and were then arranged in the fence.
The design of Huajianji makes it almost impossible to distinguish between true and false, real and imaginary.
It’s really amazing.
She carefully kept the ginkgo leaf to commemorate her first visit to the Science and Technology Museum.
This leaf is very beautiful. Even now it is not dry yet. It looks like it has just fallen. It is golden and perfect to use as a bookmark.
Tang Jingjing also picked up two pieces and put them into her bag happily.
After a while, all the ginkgo leaves that fell outside the fence were snatched away by tourists.
The leaves that no one would pick up in other scenic spots have become treasures that everyone is fighting for here.
Even though I know it is not a real ancient tree, I always feel that it is the leaves of a ginkgo tree that is more than 6,000 years old, giving me an urge to collect it.
Tao Xiaoqing and the other person continued to walk forward, looking at the ceiling from time to time.
This area is still covered by the two ancient trees. Looking up from different angles, you will have different feelings.
The branches and leaves are sometimes sparse and sometimes dense, extending at different angles, with different sense of layering, light and brightness. The golden color and the lush green color occupy each side, but they are so beautifully matched, giving people an amazing visual effect.
How can the simulation be so realistic?
Huajian Collection always brings them novelty and shock.
Not far behind the fence is a complete 3D model of the Huajianji Botanical Garden.
It is placed on a table about 5 meters long and 3 meters wide, surrounded by transparent glass. The inside is staggered and various scenic spots and buildings are clearly visible.
Tao Xiaoqing and the other person went over to take a look and found that the model in front of them was very delicate, like a scaled-down 3D model.
The trees inside are not unified model symbols, but trees of different types that have been scaled down, making them look very unique and exquisite.
It's like a miniature botanical garden.
Tall trees have shrunk from 8 meters to 5 centimeters, and ancient trees that occupy a large area, such as the peach tree and the Japanese maple, have also become miniature.
But a few tourists with good eyesight took a closer look and actually saw the forking of the branches. They were immediately struck by the detail displayed.
Other models look shoddy compared to this one.
Many tourists gathered here to take pictures.
Tao Xiaoqing and Tang Jingjing took a few steps closer, getting as close to the glass as possible, to observe this small plant kingdom up close.
"Jingjing, look at this row of big camphor trees. They are so cute. They have shrunk to such a tiny size."
“The old osmanthus tree is so small, and the fence next to it looks like a white toy.”
Tang Jingjing was also amazed: "Wow, this model is so exquisite."
It is completely different from the rough simulations of other pavilions and is not on the same level at all.
Tao Xiaoqing watched all the way down, and from time to time she excitedly pulled her friend's arm: "Wang Lian, look at Wang Lian!"
I saw green leaves the size of bottle caps floating on the surface of the artificial lake, with upturned edges and clear veins. They were small and round, several times smaller than the newly grown leaves of water lilies.
My god, this is too small.
Thinking of the huge, boat-like leaves of the Victoria amazonica that they saw, and then looking at this, it’s such a cute contrast.
Must take a picture.
Girls have always had no resistance to these cute and pocket-sized things. More and more people gathered, and bursts of exclamations were heard from time to time.
"Jingjing, oh my god, these swans are so cute!
They are as big as fingernails and are carved so vividly that I want to take them all away—"
Thinking about those white swans with a wingspan of nearly two meters, and then looking at the model, Tao Xiaoqing felt like her heart was melting.
She immediately took out her phone to take a photo, but the model was too small to be clearly photographed, so she clicked to zoom in, and continued to zoom in...
Tao Xiaoqing couldn't help but open her eyes wide.
After magnifying it several times, the accuracy of the swan has not decreased. She can clearly see the swan's slender neck, the distinct feathers on its wings, and its fluffy texture. It even looks lifelike, as if it could fly away immediately.
She never thought that Huajianji could make such a small animal model so exquisitely.
Like a beautifully crafted work of art.
The 3D model of the entire Huajianji is the crystallization of countless works of art.
It was totally beyond her expectations.
I thought it was the most ordinary map, but it turned out to be a different world.
While taking photos of a tree, flower, miniature scenery, or the whole, tourists will undoubtedly have a better understanding of the structure and landscape areas of Huajianji, which is a subtle form of science popularization.
Even tourists who come here for the first time will not feel unfamiliar as they continue to get to know the place.
At this time, Tao Xiaoqing and her friend had just visited the introductory hall and had not yet entered the main hall, but they already felt a great sense of freshness.
The title of the science museum, the tree of life, and the overall 3D model of Huajianji in the prologue hall set the stage for the entire exhibition hall, making them look forward to the upcoming journey even more.
The main exhibition hall is in front. From the guide map at the door, we can see that the exhibition hall is very large, with four sub-exhibition halls, comparable to the area of the National Science and Technology Museum. It makes people sigh that Huajianji is indeed extraordinary.
The first exhibition hall is the Huajianji photography exhibition.
The walls you enter here are two hollow flipped walls with a unique design.
The two of them pushed forward and entered along the open wall.
The light dimmed instantly. On the ceiling was a dome formed by a circular suspended ceiling. A full moon rose in the night sky, and the moonlight sprinkled down, filling the entire room with soft and cool light.
The 'water promenade' on the ground is equipped with several night lights, which together with the slanting moonlight illuminate the water surface.
Huge Victoria amazonica leaves float on the lake, and in the distance is a lotus pond with blooming lotus flowers. The wind blows the lotus leaves, and the light and shadows float, as if you have accidentally entered the deep lotus flowers.
The two of them seemed to have come to an artificial lake on a summer night.
But at that time, Huajianji did not offer night shows, so it was a rather novel experience for them.
This is also the theme of today's exhibition - a photography exhibition of aquatic plants and carnivorous plants.
The theme changes every day, giving visitors a different experience.
The sound of lake water lapping against the bank continued to be heard, and a bamboo raft landed right at the feet of the two people.
Tao Xiaoqing and Tang Jingjing were already lost in this realistic environment. They boarded the bamboo raft amid the rippling water and, with its help, stood on the nearest Victoria amazonica leaf.
Several more waves of tourists came from different flip walls, ready to stand on the huge leaves of the Victoria amazonica with them.
"Hey, don't go up--" Before she finished speaking, Tao Xiaoqing suddenly felt something was wrong.
It is winter now, and they are now in the exhibition hall of Huajianji instead of the artificial lake in summer.
These are all virtual effects of naked-eye 3D.
However, the effect before our eyes is so realistic, and the visual perception is so real that the eyes keep sending wrong information to the brain.
Even though everyone knew it was fake, they didn't dare to leave and still stood there looking at the deep lake below.
But as more and more tourists came, Tao Xiaoqing and others had to jump over another Victoria amazonica leaf with trepidation and then continue walking towards the center of the lake.
Now that the Victoria amazonica has withered, it has allowed many tourists to experience a feeling they have never had before.
As Tao Xiaoqing walked forward, she seemed to see her aunt Su Tong and her cousin.
"Xiaoqing, you are also in this exhibition hall?"
"Aunt, it's really you and my cousin." The two greeted each other.
Su Tong: "It's a place you guys recommended, it's really good."
Not only did she find it interesting, but even her son, who never liked such occasions, stayed here.
We just went to see the models of the Tree of Life and Hua Jian Ji together. Lu Haoze kept circling around the models and said they were more powerful than the robots he assembled.
Lu Haoze stood on the Victoria amazonica leaf and squatted carefully, reaching out his hand to touch the upturned edge, but of course all he felt was the coldness of the floor.
"This is fake, mom, this is fake!" Lu Haoze pulled Su Tong's clothes with excitement on his face: "Then I came out of the leaf--"
Although he said this, he did not dare to step into the water.
Just then, a night breeze blew over the rippling water, hitting the bottom and edges of the Victoria amazonica, causing the leaves to sway. Lu Haoze immediately took a few steps back.
But he would never admit that he was a coward: "Mom, I'd better stay with you. If there is any danger, I can save you."
A circle of circular screens about 2 meters high lit up under the ceiling, with various photos on them. Then the upper screen began to rotate, followed by the middle and lower screens.
The entire cylindrical screen becomes three rotating curved surfaces at the upper, middle and lower levels, and then continues to divide into 9 curved screens, which descend and appear in front of tourists.
Everyone was amazed by this magical technology.
Those who know a little about it seem to understand that the latest digital interactive technology is used.
Tao Xiaoqing saw the translucent curved screen in front of her, and she immediately saw her own work - Twin Lotuses in the Rain.
The light just hits it, like lighting a fluorescent light in the night, focusing people's attention on the single photograph.
"Xiaoqing, you took such beautiful photos." Tang Jingjing couldn't help but praise.
This kind of lighting, coupled with the artificial lake at night, gives you an immersive feeling.
Others were also appreciating other photographs.
At this moment, the three-dimensional image of the lotus flowers broke away from the screen and appeared before her eyes.
Tiny raindrops hit the pale green petals of the lotus, slowly rolling down from the two opposing petals and falling into the delicate inner petals, then flowing through the green center of the flower and dripping into the lake along the petal tips below, as if the scene was recreated.
The lotus flowers in the rain appear before people's eyes, allowing everyone to feel the scene when this photo was taken.
“Oh my god, this is amazing.”
"The lotus flowers in the rain are so beautiful."
"So this is the scene at that time. It feels like I'm watching it again."
Tao Xiaoqing was also shocked.
It's like I was back to the moment when I took the photo. It's so realistic.
Floating characters appeared before people's eyes: "Double lotus, one stem, two flowers blooming, one in a hundred thousand luck."
Such concise popular science combined with such realistic and technological scenes is unforgettable.
Aunt Su Tong and Lu Haoze stood opposite Tao Xiaoqing and the others. What they saw was a photography exhibition of carnivorous plants.
At this moment, Lu Haoze was completely attracted by the scene before him.
He watched the vivid ants crawling at the entrance of the pitcher plant to clean it, and wanted to reach out and touch its fangs.
He had never seen such a creature before; it looked so strange.
However, his hand passed through the projection.
"Look, Mom, my hand went through—"
Lu Haoze withdrew his hand in surprise, exclaimed "Wow", and looked at the virtual projection in front of him: "This plant looks really strange, mom, do you know what it is called?"
This was also Su Tong’s first time here. She saw that the photography work was called “Wonderful Symbiosis”, but she couldn’t tell what it was just from the name.
At this moment, the text floated in front of them with a 3D effect and swayed gently.
Lu Haoze opened his mouth wide to watch all this, and then he read out loud unconsciously: "Nepenthes bicalcarata, the largest pitcher plant in the world, grows on the two tips of the pitcher cover and can secrete honey to attract insects to fall into it."
It turns out that this is the function of fangs.
Some tourists who were not familiar with the situation also gained some insights, including Su Tong.
She had never seen such a strange plant before, and this visit to the science museum was also a novel experience for her.
Lu Haoze was completely attracted by this plant and had a million questions in mind. "Mom, what are ants for? Are they food for the Nepenthes bicalcarata?"
He remembered the name of this pitcher plant after reading it once.
Children’s memory is at its best at this time, and with their curiosity and interest, they will never forget.
"Wonderful Symbiosis", Su Tong thought about this name, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, could it be the symbiosis between animals and plants?
Wait until the text answers again: "Nepenthes bicalcarata and Camponotus ants have a symbiotic relationship..."
Su Tong smiled unconsciously: She guessed right!
Then she thought absentmindedly that she was actually excited because the popular science was correct. It seemed that she had not felt this way for a long time.
Daily time is completely filled with work, child care, and household chores, and the desire for scientific exploration and curiosity has long gone.
But in Huajianji, in such a rich atmosphere, she also regained some of her former curiosity and fun.
Su Tong looked at her son, who was concentrating on looking at the characters floating in front of him and reading them in a low voice without blinking.
The attitude is much more serious than when doing homework.
It was the right decision to bring him to Huajianji this time.
It's getting late orz
