Ginkgo: Dazzling Gold Warms the Freezing Winter (GIFT INSIDE)
Editor's Note
Ginkgo, native to China, is recognized as a living fossil and a symbol of longevity. With the winter approaching, ginkgo leaves by Youming stadium have turned yellow and begun to fall quietly.
Let's step into the world of ginkgo and appreciate some artworks concerning it.
Ginkgo and Poem
Ginkgo brings quite a few inspirations for poets.
风韵雍容未甚都，尊前甘橘可为奴。
谁怜流落江湖上，玉骨冰肌未肯枯。
谁教并蒂连枝摘，醉后明皇倚太真。
居士擘开真有意，要吟风味两家新。
—— 宋代·李清照《瑞鹧鸪·双银杏》
Anthropomorphizing two ginkgo nuts as lovers sharing weal and woe, Li Qingzhao expressed her feelings of missing her husband in a war era.
In addition to Chinese poems, some foreign poems are also worth reading.
Ginkgo biloba
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This leaf from a tree in the East,
Has been given to my garden.
It reveals a certain secret,
Which pleases me and thoughtful people.
Does it represent One living creature
Which has divided itself?
Or are these Two, which have decided,
That they should be as One?
To reply to such a Question,
I found the right answer:
Do you notice in my songs and verses
That I am One and Two?
The poem talks about the philosophical thoughts brought by ginkgo.
