The Flora of China
I am from China. China is located in East Asia. The countries near China are India, Japan, and Korea. It is famous for the Great Wall, the city of ShangHai, BeiJing, and HongKong. This essay describes three different floras that are important in China.
The first flora of China is the plum blossom. The plum blossom’s skin is green. When the flower opens, the color of plum will turn yellow with a red blush. Each flower has five petals and the petals are 1-3cm in diameter. The plum blossom symbolizes the indomitable spirit of China because this flower opens in the winter. Most flowers open in the spring or summer, but plum blossoms did not afraid of winter to open the beautiful flowers. This kind of perseverance is the spirit of China.
The second flora of China is the pine tree. The pine tree is the oldest tree in China. Most Chinese people like to choose the pine tree as a gift to the oldest parent because the pine tree in China symbolizes longevity. The pine tree can live a very long life. The oldest pine tree lives in GuangXi, China. Now it is 3,000 years old. The characteristic of the pine tree is no matter how old the pine tree, it always stays green, so in China, life is green.
In China, bamboo is a reflection of Chinese people’s modesty, there is integrity and out spoken and other virtues. In China, many poets like to use it to write poetry and paint. In ancient China, every New Year people had to burn the bamboo to earnestly hope children would be safe in this year. Since then people have invented firecrackers to use instead of the bamboo. That is one reason why the Chinese like to shoot off firecrackers in the Spring Festival.
In conclusion, China has a variety of plant life. Three of the most important types are plum blossom, pin tree, and bamboo. From those floras we can know the kind of spirit of the Chinese people.
