What does Ginkgo represent?

1. Longevity

Ginkgo is a very ancient species with a strong ability to adapt to the environment and a very long lifespan. It is a living fossil in the plant kingdom, a precious timber and dried fruit tree species, and it also has many primitive traits. It is of great value in studying the systematic development, paleoflora, paleogeography and Quaternary glacial climate of gymnosperms. It is also known as the "panda" of the plant world, and people hope to be as healthy and long-lived as the ginkgo tree.

2. Many Children, More Blessings

For a long time, people have regarded trees as a kind of totem. In folk culture, the ginkgo tree is also called the Gongsun tree. Because it is dioecious, it tends to gather nearby when it reproduces, forming a system or a tree group, just like a thriving family. Therefore, many people will plant ginkgo trees in front of and behind their houses to symbolize the blessing of prosperity of descendants.
