Jinjiang genuine 57
When leaving the photography exhibition hall of Huajianji and arriving at the next exhibition hall, Tao Xiaoqing and others felt as if they were in another world.
The lights above are bright and the surrounding walls are pure white, bringing a broad and bright view, just like transitioning from the Victoria amazonica and lotus pond in the night to the artistic hall, crossing the levels of space and time and returning to reality.
It's incredible.
Tao Xiaoqing recalled the photographs she had just seen: twin lotuses in the rain, swaying reeds, falling stars (Victoria Victoria), wind blowing in the lotus pond, purple irises, elegant blue water lilies, peerless twins (Double-color Vanvisa), a cup full of flowers (Canjin)...
And after the screen rotates, a photography exhibition of carnivorous plants appears before your eyes.
The photos are separated from the two-dimensional screen and transformed into fresh plants before our eyes, which are more intuitive and vivid, as if they are within reach; coupled with the floating font introduction suspended in front of our eyes, it is surprising and impressive at the same time.
Not only can visitors appreciate beautiful works of art, but they can also experience the scenes and processes taken by the photographer. It is also a new form of science popularization that allows visitors to experience the different sides of plants.
It is easier to resonate with people than simple pictures and words, and it has a shocking feeling that goes straight to the heart.
Although she has left the exhibition hall, Tao Xiaoqing's mind is still automatically playing those photographs and realistic 3D images, like pages of a three-dimensional photo album engraved in her mind, and the memory is still fresh.
My aunt and Lu Haoze are still inside and haven't come out.
It was their first time to visit Huajianji, and the novelty they experienced was far greater than that of tourists like Tao Xiaoqing who knew Huajianji like the back of their hand. They probably wouldn't leave for a while.
Lu Haoze fiddled with the photos on the screen, his eyes shining and making surprised noises from time to time.
The photos will light up as he clicks them, with countless firefly-like light spots gathering and then bursting out with white light, bringing out the full visual effect.
The virtual scene before his eyes was so realistic that he kept reaching out to touch it, wanting to touch the petals and leaves of the flowers, touch the cage of the carnivorous plant...
For the first time, Lu Haoze felt that plants were so interesting.
In the past, he was only interested in games and models, but this place is more realistic and more fun than games!
The floating words will automatically change size and adjust spacing, surrounding him and constantly attracting the attention of tourists around him. When he finishes reading, they will fly away from his sight.
Even more powerful than Transformers!
For boys of this age group, many things need guidance, and interest is their best teacher.
Sometimes a good teacher’s guidance may make them like a subject and even affect the child’s life.
Now Huajianji is the best teacher.
It cultivates children's interest in plants in a variety of ways, leading them to feel the wonder of plants and better understand them, thereby developing a sense of intimacy with plants and a subtle sense of protection.
In the near future, these flowers of our motherland will surely contribute their own efforts to the maintenance of the natural environment and species diversity.
This is also what Ye Han expected.
Tao Xiaoqing and her friend entered the next exhibition hall - the endangered and protected plants exhibition hall.
They were the first wave of tourists to enter Huajianji in the morning. Many of them stopped in the front lobby and photography exhibition hall, and some went to the projection room to watch the film first, so there were not many people coming here, and the exhibition hall seemed rather empty.
It's a good opportunity to experience it here.
The design of this exhibition hall is also very novel.
There is a spiral staircase winding up at each of the four corners of the exhibition hall, extending inward in the direction of rotation, and the ends of the stairs converge on an aerial platform 4 meters above the ground in the center of the exhibition hall.
The stairs are pure white, and the handrails are also white, with a clean and elegant pure color tone, like a long staircase leading to the clouds, full of design sense.
There is a sign next to the handrail at the bottom of the stairs: [Extinct/Endangered Plant Stairs]
The stairs are slightly narrow, only allowing 1-2 people to pass through. The tourists in front were stepping on the stairs, moving slowly, but from their perspective, they couldn't see the specific situation clearly.
In the center of the exhibition hall is a sculpture of an open book.
It is more than 2 meters high, and the pages on both sides are more than 6 meters long when unfolded. The light green cover is inscribed with hollow golden brush font: "Illustrated Guide of Endangered and Nationally Protected Plants in the World".
This huge sculpture immediately attracted the attention of both of them.
Tao Xiaoqing and the other person walked forward and stood in the middle of the open book. The two pages they opened showed two endangered plants:
Nepenthes roundworm (critically endangered worldwide), Paphiopedilum tinctoria (first-class protected plant in China, endangered worldwide)
IUCN-The World Conservation Union divides species into protection levels: Extinct, Extinct in the Wild, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, and Least Concern.
The highest level of extinction means that the last individual of the species or subspecies has died. It usually requires repeated confirmation before it is announced, and the possibility of saving it is extremely low.
Extinction in the wild, as the name suggests, refers to the extinction of wild species.
For example, the South China tiger has been declared extinct in the wild, with only a few populations artificially bred in domestic zoos, and it is extremely difficult to reintroduce it to the wild.
The next category is critically endangered and endangered.
Endangered means that the wild population faces a high chance of extinction in the near future, and conservation measures must be taken and nature reserves must be established to protect it.
Unfortunately, except for some scholars and enthusiasts who specialize in studying animals and plants, the general public knows very little about this information.
At least before coming to Huajianji, Tao Xiaoqing and others had no idea about the rarity of plants such as Paphiopedilum and had never even heard of them.
Tao Xiaoqing looked at the unfolded materials, and the text and images floated in front of her eyes, with the same three-dimensional projection effect as in the photography studio.
"Jingjing, look, we can interact with books."
She said excitedly, and then clicked the 'Introduction' button in the center of the Buckler Pitcher Plant.
The next second, the surrounding walls appeared in front of the two people like a full-scale panoramic three-dimensional screen.
The huge screen of hundreds of square meters covers all sides and surrounds the entire area, bringing a majestic effect. The visual experience is so realistic that it seems that there is no other word to describe it except shocking.
Tao Xiaoqing followed the images displayed on the screen, from the seven continents of the earth, to Asia, to Indonesia in Southeast Asia, and then to Borneo, crossing Mount Kelam, reaching a rock wall at an altitude of 600-800m, and then saw a group of wild round-shielded pitcher plants up close.
"OMG."
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the pitcher plant with nearly round leaves growing on the almost vertical granite wall in front of her, and her heart was shocked.
In just a dozen seconds, she felt as if she had traveled through several spaces in succession, from a macro perspective to a specific location, and then to the realistic scene before her.
That feeling is a hundred times more shocking than in a movie theater.
It feels like you are really in the sparsely populated mountains and forests of Borneo, discovering these endangered species that are almost extinct.
I heard a pleasant introduction: "Nepenthes roundworm is a tropical plant native to Mount Kelam in Kalimantan, Borneo. It is the most endangered species of Nepenthes in the world. As of 1995, there were only about 15 plants left in the wild. Later in 2010, 260 plants were discovered at an altitude of 800 meters in Montenegro..."①
Since the plant was right in front of her, Tao Xiaoqing squatted down and made careful observations and comparisons as the plant was introduced.
You can learn more about plants than just reading books.
No, it should be said that the experience is completely different.
Because of the different angle, Tang Jingjing was facing the other side of the pitcher plant.
She reached out and touched the round leaves of the pitcher plant.
I actually touched it!
It feels very thick, maybe because it rained a while ago, so it is still a little wet.
She looked at her hands in disbelief.
How on earth...is this possible?!
In addition to the eyes, other senses can also deceive the human brain.
There are 133 tactile feedback points on each hand. By 'pushing' these feedback points in different ways, you can simulate the real sense of touch.
However, with the current level of technology, we still need the assistance of high-tech equipment.
Tao Xiaoqing and her friend returned to the exhibition hall and looked around. They felt a sense of unreality that they had returned to the modern world.
I looked at the time and only 3 minutes had passed.
But in these 3 minutes, she felt like she had traveled to the mountains of Indonesia and witnessed the growth environment and living characteristics of the rare species of Nepenthes round-shielded pitcher plant.
This experience is truly wonderful.
Tao Xiaoqing looked at the open book sculpture and thought that using this method to learn about endangered plants was an extremely novel attempt.
She had only experienced this once before.
Gather only among the flowers.
It’s really amazing. You can’t feel this immersive effect even if you go to a VR experience hall.
Seeing more and more tourists around, Tao Xiaoqing really wanted to let them know about these endangered plants together.
This protective awareness seemed to arise in an instant, and she didn't even notice it.
Clicking on the introduction of 'Paphiopedilum ', the two of them, together with other tourists, entered the world of endangered plants.
"Let's go up separately. You go first."
Tao Xiaoqing stood at the lower left side of the exhibition hall, looking at the slightly narrow spiral staircase in front of her.
It is very narrow, only about 30 centimeters wide, and the pure white steps rise in a spiral shape. Each step is written with the name of an extinct/endangered plant, all the way up to the high platform in the center.
Tang Jingjing walked in front, and as she stepped onto the first step, the lights under her feet lit up, illuminating the names of the extinct plants.
First level: sparsely flowered golden hairpin tree.
This shrub, which grows in Australia, has only been collected twice, in 1907 and 1908. Its habitat has been severely affected by human urbanization, and in recent years the IUCN has assessed it as "extinct."
Tao Xiaoqing saw Tang Jingjing in front of her pause for a moment, and then walked up after a few seconds.
She followed him up the first step. As the lights under her feet came on, the image of a sparsely flowered golden hairpin tree appeared above her sight. Its leaves were slightly dry and it looked in poor condition.
Tao Xiaoqing sighed silently, feeling a little heavy.
Tier 2: Agave lily (extinct in the wild)
The last time this plant was found was in Oaxaca, Mexico in 2001. After many surveys and searches, the IUCN declared it extinct in the wild.
Tao Xiaoqing looked at the decaying plants in front of her and suddenly remembered a report she had read:
It is said that in the past 250 years, 571 plant species have completely disappeared from the wild, which is more than twice the total number of birds, mammals and amphibians that have become extinct during the same period. And this is only the part recorded in the data, and the unrecorded ones are far more than estimated.
Since human intervention, plant extinction rates are 500 times higher than before intervention, and one-third of species are threatened in some way.
500 times...
She was shocked when she first saw it, but later she became numb.
As an ordinary person, she can't do anything and will only add to her troubles.
Tier 3: Golden Lantern Flower (extinct in the wild)
Tao Xiaoqing walked up step by step, and the images of the plants appeared before her eyes one by one.
They are all in very bad condition, with yellow and dry leaves, wilting branches and leaves, falling petals, and then decaying; especially the extinct plants, which eventually become a dead tree, with blackened branches right before your eyes, which is shocking.
She felt extremely shocked and regretful, and felt heavy-hearted.
Tang Jingjing's pace in front was getting slower and slower, and so was Tao Xiaoqing herself.
It was only twenty steps, but she wanted to retreat halfway and had almost no courage to go forward.
But the steps here were very narrow, and with other tourists following closely behind her, she had no choice but to go up.
Level 11: Carpinus pueraria (endangered)
There is only one wild species left in the world, located in the Putuo Mountain Scenic Area in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, my country.
Level 12: Guangxi Firewood (Endangered)
Level 13: Baishanzu Fir (Endangered)
As the stairs go higher, the names written on them become endangered plants in our country, and the images of the plants also slowly begin to change.
The dry branches are recovering little by little, and new leaves are growing with fresh green colors.
Compared with the death and decline of previous extinct or wild-extinct plants, these surviving endangered plants are particularly precious.
It is no longer in poor condition, and the branches and leaves are no longer dry and black, but so fresh.
Decline and rebirth are just a thought away for human beings.
If we don't protect these plants, they will become endangered and then extinct.
Eternal death.
Hua Jian Ji uses this process as a warning. Anyone who climbs the stairs will be deeply touched, as if a bell is ringing in their mind, continuously.
The last stage.
Tao Xiaoqing stepped forward and looked at the towering and lush Parashorea chinensis in front of her. Her eyes welled up and she suddenly felt an urge to cry.
This experience shocked her so much that it touched her soul.
Walking up these 20 steps, I seem to feel the meaning of the life of these 20 plants.
What’s gone cannot be brought back, but she hopes that the endangered plants that exist today can survive and is prepared to contribute to that end.
Arriving at the high platform above, Tang Jingjing and Tao Xiaoqing looked at each other and noticed each other's red eyes.
"Pfft." They both laughed at the same time.
Tang Jingjing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked towards the audience.
Just below is an open book - an atlas of endangered and nationally protected plants in the world.
Many tourists explore their growing environment in person and learn about endangered plants in this way.
Fortunately, there are illustrated guides that allow these endangered plants to appear in the public eye.
It can help people better understand them and realize the importance of protecting endangered plants.
At this moment, she fully understood the significance of Huajianji opening this exhibition hall.
And she will work hard for this in the future.
After their moods gradually calmed down, they prepared to go to the third exhibition hall - the visitor experience area.
As soon as they entered, they found that there were a lot of people here, more than in the two exhibition halls they had just seen.
The children excitedly ran to their favorite theme rooms to queue up, and the parents also looked pleased, as if the place had become a large amusement base.
"Mom, I'm out, but I want to play more!"
"Dad, Dad, I'm standing in line here, you go over there for me."
"Okay, don't cut in line, okay?"
"I know. Tsk, I'm not that uncultured."
Tao Xiaoqing and the other person looked at the exhibition hall. The main tone of the ceiling was blue, with stars and galaxies scattered in it, simulating a starry sky, which was very technological.
The surrounding screens show the slowly rotating Milky Way, which looks like a huge spiral disk with a supermassive black hole at its center - the floor is set to an opaque black color, which fits the background perfectly.
The outer silver spiral arms keep rotating on the screen, casting silver light, and the solar system is located at the edge of one of the spiral arms.
The Earth is actually a very small planet in the solar system, and it cannot be seen at all without being marked separately.
Tao Xiaoqing and Tang Jingjing admired in their hearts while looking around, intoxicated by the vastness of the universe and the beauty of the Milky Way.
The design here is so great that it is worth the trip even if you don't experience any activities.
The experience area is divided into two parts: the plant illustration area and the question-answering area.
The illustration area is open in style, with five circular steps rising from the ground and transparent glass on the outside. After entering, you can interact with the screen.
The question-answering area is innovatively designed, with five theme rooms in total: ocean, island, space capsule, Transformers, and Heavenly Palace.
"Aunt, you guys are here too?"
Just as Tao Xiaoqing was about to queue up in the ocean theme room, she saw Su Tong and Lu Haoze.
"Just now after coming out of the photography exhibition hall, Haoze heard other kids say there were Transformers over there, and he insisted on coming over." Although Su Tong said this, she had a smile on her face and was obviously in a good mood.
"Mom, I'll continue answering the questions. I must surpass Sun Yujie this time! Don't forget to help me line up."
"Don't worry, I will."
"Go answer the questions?"
Tao Xiaoqing was surprised. Isn’t Lu Haoze the one who hates doing exercises the most?
"Yes, there is a ranking list over there, and the rankings and scores are constantly changing. Not only children, I see many adults are also participating."
"I just tried it once, it was quite interesting."
Su Tong smiled and said, "But I'm not as good as Haoze. He got 9 out of 10 questions right and only got one wrong."
He was in high spirits and immediately queued up to answer questions after coming out, and also competed with another classmate.
Apart from playing games, this was the first time she saw her child being so passionate about something.
I have never taken any interest classes before.
Tao Xiaoqing and Tang Jingjing went to the question-answering area and the illustration area respectively.
After waiting in the ocean-themed room for almost half an hour, it was finally Tao Xiaoqing's turn.
As soon as you enter, you can feel the coolness and saltiness of the ocean.
The walls are surrounded by turbulent sea water, and the sound of sea water hitting the shore can be heard. White seagulls fly overhead, marine life pass by, and sperm whales in the distance spurt out a column of water several meters high with their breathing. It is as if you have entered the ocean world.
So awesome.
Even a theme room can achieve such exquisite design and realism.
As I was sighing, a line of text appeared on the huge screen covering the entire wall:
Please enter your name and be ready to start answering questions in 20 seconds.
1. "According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest leaf diameter of Victoria amazonica is _____." The background of the screen is the huge leaf of Victoria amazonica.
A.3.20 meters
B.2.90 m
C.2.83 m
D.3.35 m
Tao Xiaoqing was very familiar with this question and chose D without hesitation.
correct.
Suddenly the screen went dark, and a 20-meter-long sperm whale swam towards her. Its huge tail stirred up waves, as if applauding her.
Wow.
Tao Xiaoqing suddenly felt extremely excited. This kind of scene could not be seen even at the seaside, right?
What's more, he came here for her.
2. “What kind of orchid is Darwin’s orchid?”
A. Long-distance comet blue
B. Epiphytic Comet Orchid
C. Stemless Comet Orchid
D. Madagascar Comet Orchid
The question was a bit difficult. Tao Xiaoqing looked at the long spur of the Darwin orchid and chose A.
correct.
Here we come!!
She was filled with excitement as she watched the huge sperm whale swimming towards her from a distance.
The 10 questions were finished quickly. Since Tao Xiaoqing was a loyal fan of Hua Jian Ji, she successfully obtained 100 points with a correct rate of 100%.
Currently ranked 39th in the ranking.
When Tao Xiaoqing saw the words [Finished answering the questions, please leave] on the screen, she felt a little unsatisfied.
As soon as I came out, I went to the place with the least people to queue up without hesitation, looking forward to answering the next questions.
Note ①: The endangered plant information is extracted from the Internet.
