I just saw the news that another typhoon "Ginkgo" is gradually forming. We will know tonight whether it will really be the first November typhoon in many years.
Typhoon "Kang Rui" a few days ago hit Taiwan on 10/31, just one day shy of becoming an autumn typhoon for the first time in 57 years since 1967.
Speaking of ginkgo, people think of brain supplements. People always make fun of each other and eat ginkgo when their memory is bad. But do you know that no matter how this plant looks, it has no silver content at all. So why does it have any silver content? Called ginkgo?
Ginkgo was called "silver fruit" in ancient China, and now it is also called "white fruit".
The name "Ginkgo" is directly borrowed from Vietnamese, and is pronounced "bạch quả" according to the Chinese-Vietnamese pronunciation; the name "Ginkgo" is borrowed from Korean and Japanese, and is pronounced "은행" (eunhaeng) and "ぎんなん" respectively according to the Korean pronunciation. "(ginnan).
The scientific name "Ginkgo" comes from Japanese folk. Chinese characters in Japanese often have multiple pronunciations, and "Ginkgo" can also be pronounced as "ぎんきょう" (ginkyō).
In 1690, the German botanist Engelbert Kaempfer established the genus Ginkgo based on the ginkgo tree in the Buddhist temple in Nagasaki, Japan. The genus name "Ginkgo" comes from the dialect pronunciation of the word "gingko" in Japanese. 「ギンキョウ」(ginkyō).
He became the first Westerner to discover ginkgo and recorded its pronunciation in his book Amoenitates Exoticae (1712).
It is generally believed that the "y" he wrote was mispronounced as "g", and this mispronunciation was later inherited by Swedish biologist Linnaeus, who formally described Ginkgo and used biloba as the species epithet to represent the two leaves of Ginkgo. The characteristics of cracking are still in use today.
However, some scholars believe that the sound pronounced "y" in German is usually written as "j", and Kempfa comes from Lemgo in northern Germany, and "g" is used instead of "j" in the local dialect. Some scholars believe that one of Kampfa's assistants (Genemon Imamura Eisei, also known as Ichibei) was from Nagasaki, and the word "kgo" accurately shows the Nagasaki area at that time (late 17th century) Japanese dialect pronunciation.
Although this nomenclature was recorded by the Germans, the way of pronouncing it has been around for a long time. If it can be traced back to ancient oral records, it is probably because silver is inherently precious, and the surface of silver fruit is highly hydrophobic after it falls into the water. Comes from sex.
The white surface of the ginkgo fruit is super hydrophobic. When it is placed in water, the surface will be coated with a layer of air, and the water is isolated from the outer layer. When light enters the air from the water, total reflection will occur on the surface of the ginkgo fruit. , so to the naked eye, the overall appearance becomes completely silver.
Let the sun and moon wander to the west and east, regardless of the frost and wind blowing your temples.
The ground turned yellow with ginkgo leaves, and suddenly the world was shocked by the success.
The shape of the ginkgo leaf is fan-shaped, symmetrical on both sides, split into two, and merged into one at the petiole. It is regarded as a symbol of harmony.
It means one and two, life and death, yin and yang, spring and autumn and other opposites, unity and harmonious characteristics of all things.
The flower language of ginkgo is tenacity and calmness, pure love, representing eternal love, which can also be said to be a lifetime of waiting.
Ginkgo fruit is mild in nature, sweet and bitter in taste, and has the effects of clearing heat, diuresis, laxative and detoxification, relieving cough and eliminating phlegm. It can treat tuberculosis, tracheitis, gynecological diseases, hypertension and other diseases.
