Beijing is the capital of the motherland and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. In many royal temples, royal gardens, imperial tombs and famous temples, there are ancient, vigorous and towering cypresses. For example, Zhongshan Park (social altar), Working People's Cultural Palace (ancestral hall), Temple of Heaven, Ritan, Ditan, Beihai, Jingshan, Zhongnanhai, Imperial Palace Garden, Confucius Temple, Summer Palace Cooper, Xiangshan, Badachu and Ming Tombs are all world-famous. Former US Secretary of State Kissinger said during his visit to the Temple of Heaven: "The architecture of the Temple of Heaven is beautiful. We can build one like you, but we don't have a beautiful Cooper here. " Mr. Xu Beihong, the late master of art in China, once wrote many Chinese paintings on Cooper in Beijing. In his inscription, he wrote: "Beijing is the city with the largest number of ancient trees in the world, especially Cooper since Liao, Jin, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Intertwined, green, forgivable, lasting robbery. The ancient trees full of magnificent scenery in Beijing are indeed a major feature of Beijing. " Indeed, it is difficult to find the famous Yi Jian Garden and Cooper Garden. So many ancient cypresses in Beijing, like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, are precious "national treasures".

Counting the ancient cypresses in Beijing, there are more than 5,000 trees over 500 years old, accounting for the vast majority of the first-class ancient trees in Beijing. Most of them were planted in Liao, Jin and Ming Dynasties, dating back to the Tang Dynasty. Among them, Ming cypress is the most abundant, because many altars and temples for royal sacrifices were built during Yongle and Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, and cypress trees with long life, evergreen and immortal roots were widely planted in these altars and temples. To show the meaning of "the mountains and rivers will last forever, and the earth will last forever". For ordinary people, Cooper is usually regarded as the "divine cypress" of auspicious Changrui. As far as Cooper in Beijing is concerned, although it has experienced several vicissitudes, it is still flourishing and full of vitality. These cypresses are not only living cultural relics, but also the best witness of Beijing's long history, the representative of the ancient capital style and an important part of Beijing's splendid culture.

The tall ancient cypresses and wonderful ancient buildings complement each other, adorning places of interest with antiques, and dressing the ancient capital Beijing extraordinarily beautifully. Especially now, people know from the awareness of environmental protection that the ancient Berlin in Beijing's major parks is the "urban forest" of Beijing, the "lung" and "kidney" of downtown, which plays an important role in eliminating air pollution and restoring the blue sky of the capital. Therefore, every sunny morning, people like to do morning exercises in ancient Berlin in major parks. This is the so-called longevity of evergreen trees in Cooper!

In fact, Cooper Group in Beijing is closely related to people's physical and mental health, so from this perspective, it is even more "priceless". Therefore, Platycladus orientalis and Sophora japonica were selected as urban trees in the 1986 urban trees and flowers selection activity. In addition, according to the research of foresters, although some of the ancient cypresses in Beijing are "chitose masters" and "longevity stars", they all look young compared with those in the Zhou Dynasty, such as Xuanyuan cypress in the Huangdi Mausoleum in huangling county, Shaanxi, Zhou cypress in Jinci, Taiyuan, Shanxi, General cypress and Second Admiral cypress in Songyang Academy in Songshan, Henan, which have a history of more than 3,000 years. I sincerely wish these precious coopers in Beijing will be more vibrant and last forever under the care of the people in the capital.
