Walking into the school gate, the camphor branches on both sides of the main road are lush and leafy, like little green guards standing upright, guarding our beautiful campus day and night. The following is a weekly diary of camphor trees on campus that I compiled for your reference. Welcome to read! Chapter 1: The camphor tree on campus
There is a small memory about the camphor tree. I was 12 years old that year and graduated from elementary school. I could have gone to a middle school near my home to study, but the middle school in the town admitted a key class for the whole town, and I was lucky enough to be admitted. One night before school started, my mother prepared my luggage because my home was far away from the middle school in town and I needed to live at school. But you have to solve the problem of eating by yourself, that is, bring your own rice and vegetables to the school cafeteria to steam them, and then you need a small box to hold daily necessities. At that time, the family situation was not good, and of course there was no money to buy a luxurious suitcase. My father found a piece of wood and worked overnight to make a box for me. When the wood board was sawed, there was a very good smell. My father said it was the scent of camphor trees. Camphor tree is the best material for making furniture. Its special smell can avoid other odors, but insects also like to bite camphor trees when they grow. I immediately fell in love with my little box made of camphor wood. Its light fragrance will accompany my reading time!
However, the good times did not last long. Not only did I like my little box, the mice also liked it!
The companions we lived with all used wooden boxes, and that nasty rat chewed a big hole in my box! That Monday, I rushed back to school from home and saw the mess in the box. I was immediately stunned and burst into tears. I didn’t know how many times I cursed the damn mouse! My father took the box home and repaired it with iron sheets. It stayed with me through three years of junior high school. Later, when I was studying in normal school, my father asked a carpenter to make a bigger and more beautiful box for me. This old box was not brought to school. But I still keep my small camphor wood box to hold my small things. It’s just that times have changed, I’m working, I’m getting married, and I’m no longer in the mood to look at my little box; my parents’ family moved and built a new house, and no one remembers my little box, and it might have been broken into pieces and burned as firewood. However, the scene of my father making a small box for me is still vivid in my mind today.
If you get up on a sunny morning and study by yourself. I would deliberately get up a few minutes early and rush to school. The students were still running, so I went to exercise under the camphor tree. After a night of settling and resting, people feel particularly awake. The camphor tree has also settled and rested for a night, and the smell it emits is even stronger. The fresh and sweet air will make you unable to help but take a few deep breaths, then stretch your body, do chest expansion exercises, and kick your legs. Your energy will suddenly become strong, and your mood will be particularly good for the day. Chapter 2: Camphor trees on campus
Walking on the campus paths in the evening, I was hit by the smell of smoke, mixed with the smell of burning vegetation.
This is a familiar smell to me, and it can’t help but bring back memories.
In the early morning of that day, the sun’s twilight had not yet reached every corner of the campus. I was walking on the way to the classroom and passed under the camphor tree in the Central District Stadium when I met my aunt. Clean up the camphor leaves that were knocked down by the spring rain last night. The smell I smell now is exactly the smell of the camphor leaves that the aunts gathered together to burn. I am used to this smell permeating the campus every spring.
There are many camphor trees on our campus. The leaves of the camphor trees are so green all year round. Even in the spring when hundreds of flowers are blooming, when the camphor trees are at the peak of changing to new leaves, the old leaves When it falls, a large number of new green leaves are constantly being pulled out at the same time. What is given to people is always green. I think he would be so reluctant to take off the armor that accompanies him to fight in such a season, just like an old general facing the armor that he has been fighting for all his life. The old leaves of the camphor tree can only show that the camphor tree once withstood the scorching sun and left us patches of green shade.
This year’s camphor tree began to wither on a spring afternoon, one piece, two pieces...
It was like butterflies flying all over the sky. They were strangely beautiful and fluttering in the air. It whirled down and landed on the ground, and now it will turn into spring mud to protect the flowers.
To be honest, I love the camphor tree, whether it’s its dancing figure in the rustling autumn wind, or its proud attitude when the cold wave hits. The autumn wind can’t change your color, but the cold wave can. Not your character. When everything is withering, you are the only one who decorates every corner of the campus, proud and independent. When people wrap themselves up tightly, it is you who sings in the cold wind. On the green leaves, the pieces of ice are like your bright eyes. The colder the weather, the more eye-catching green you become. Your decoration on campus adds a bit of vitality to the dead winter.
You chose to change your leaves in the spring when all flowers bloom and everything revives. When everything strives for spring, you never forget to give people a sense of joy and a little bit of sadness. You are always not afraid of difficulties. Young people who move forward bravely, and elders who have experienced vicissitudes of life over time, you never need anyone's praise. Just quietly slowly withering in spring, your silhouette countless times in your life.
Your quality is comparable to that of plums and bamboos. You have always been an example for ordinary people like us to learn from. Slowly, this familiar smell rushed into my brain and spread to every cell in my body. I think He will remain in my cells until the end of his life. Chapter 3: Camphor trees on campus
Next to the east gate of Taihe Square, there are ten beautiful camphor trees, arranged on the north and south sides of the campus. They are both powerful and majestic. From a distance, they look like soldiers standing tall. Up close, it looks like a door god guarding the campus. Although they have not been planted for a long time, they are born with special charm and have become a beautiful scenery on campus.
Even in the cold winter, the camphor tree does not actually lose its leaves. The leaves are densely packed, but not crowded. They still maintain an exciting green color. They are so full of life and lush, and they look like a handsome boy's mushroom head. The small flowers it blooms and the fruits it bears emit a fragrant fragrance that is refreshing. The whole camphor tree is beautiful and charming, full of energy, showing its charming charm and blooming the splendor of life.
The trunk of the camphor tree is generally very thick, always straight, gray, and a bit rough to the touch. Since the beginning of winter, in order to keep out the cold, the greening workers have promptly put a layer of "thermal underwear" on its body. In this way, even if the temperature drops suddenly, it will be safe and sound, ensuring a safe winter.
As we all know, camphor tree is a very precious tree in the south. Its wood is corrosion-resistant, insect-proof, dense, and fragrant. It is a good wood for furniture and sculptures. In addition to being used to extract camphor, it is also cultivated as street trees and In addition to landscape trees, camphor also has cardiotonic, antipyretic, and insecticidal effects.

The air is refreshing. Living in an environment with camphor trees for a long time will prevent you from suffering from many difficult and complicated diseases, which is very beneficial to your physical and mental health.
In fact, there is a beautiful legend about the origin of camphor. According to legend, Chang'e couldn't bear the loneliness of the moon palace, so she secretly slipped down to earth with the Jade Rabbit and came to play among the green mountains and green waters by the Yuexi River in Fufu Village, Yibin County, Sichuan. By accident, Chang'e's sachet fell by the Yuexi River. A mountain eagle smelled the aroma of the sachet and took it away. The eagle flew over the Yuexi River in Fufu Village, and the fragrance filled the area. From then on, many eagles grew along the Yuexi River in Fufu Village. The fragrant tree is later known as camphor tree, also known as camphor tree. At present, Fufu Village is the largest industrial area of ??camphor oil in China and has the reputation of being the first village of camphor oil in China.
Ding Lingling, the end of get out of class bell rang, Sunshine Recess began, and the whole campus was in a state of excitement.
Especially around the camphor tree, it suddenly became a happy playground for the children. Some skipped ropes, some jumped rubber bands, some "hopscotched", some kicked shuttlecocks, and some threw sandbags... with the camphor tree as a good friend. , everyone is obsessed with playing, having fun, and having fun.
The beauty of the camphor tree is closely connected with campus life. The beauty is not empty, it really makes people feel friendly and comfortable! Chapter 4: Camphor trees on campus
Walking into the school gate, the camphor trees on both sides of the main road are lush and leafy, like little green guards standing upright, guarding us day and night. Beautiful campus. When the wind blows, the camphor tree sways freely from side to side, as if dancing a cheerful dance, and our mood also becomes cheerful. In the midsummer, they are like big green umbrellas, providing the students with patches of coolness; in the severe winter, they use their not-so-strong trunks to protect the students from the wind and snow. Camphor trees thrive with us. Diary Diary
The camphor tree is an evergreen tree that grows all year round. The camphor tree on campus is not very old. Its trunk is about the size of a bowl and about 3 meters high. In early summer, the camphor tree will bloom small yellow-green flowers, which are sandwiched among the evergreen leaves. It is really difficult to spot them if you don’t look carefully!
The camphor tree also has a magical effect. It is said that there is a minority village called Mosquito-free Village in Guangzhou. There are really no mosquitoes! What's going on? It turns out that there is a camphor tree that is more than 2,000 years old in the village. The special fragrance of the camphor tree permeates the entire village, driving away diseases and insect pests and preventing the invasion of mosquitoes. This reminds me of some trivial matters in daily life. Every time the seasons change, my mother packs up the clothes at home and always carefully puts some woolen items into the big camphor wood box at my house. My mother often Put some mothballs in the closet at home... It turns out that this is all a big help from the camphor tree.
