我们为何怀念没有竹林的大竹林

Why Do We Miss Dazhulin Without Bamboo

重庆有很多以植物命名的地名,如枣子岚垭、梨树湾、松林坡、梅子堡、芭蕉湾、桂花园、大竹林……光是从这些地名,就可以想象当年重庆植物繁茂、花树满城的景象。

Chongqing has many place names named after plants,such as Zaozilanya(named after jujube),Lishuwan(pear tree),Songlinpo(pine),Meizibao(plum),Bajiaowan(Chinese banana),Guihuayuan(sweet-scented osmanthus),the said Dazhulin(bamboo)and so forth.From these place names alone,one can imagine the past scene of luxuriant plants in Chongqing.
