故乡的乌桕

Sapium Trees in the Hometown

漫步300多年历史的鳌湖老村,给漂泊的人一种静谧、一份安详。不经意间,抬头看到棵老乌桕。乌桕原产于华夏大地,广泛分布于江南,其最早记载于公元6世纪(534年)北魏农学家贾思勰的著书《齐民要术》,具有极大的经济价值。鳌湖老村的乌桕历经四季的轮回,用变化无穷的景致向我们昭示了幸福、奉献、沉思和愁绪的情感内涵。

Ao’hu Village with a history of 300 years renders serendipity to the drifting souls. Because everywhere they go, they can find the shade of sapium trees. As early as the 6 th century(534 A.D.), sapium was well-documented as a tree with huge economic value in Essential Techniques for the Welfare of the People, a classic agricultural book by Jia Sixie. Sapium trees in Ao’hu enable us to see a prospect of happy and fulfilling life with their different views in the four seasons.
