    作为世界四大木本油料之一,油茶树生长在我国亚热带地区的高山及丘陵地带,在四川也有广泛分布。你知道四川最古老的油茶树在哪儿吗?

    As one of the world's four major woody oilcrops in the world, the tea tree grows in the alpine and hilly areas of subtropical regions in China, and is also widely distributed in Sichuan. Do you know where the oldest tea tree in Sichuan is?

    在内江市隆昌市石燕桥镇,孕育着上万亩油茶树。在成群的油茶树中,要数四方井村的油茶树王历史最为悠久。它高7.8米,胸径0.62米,平均冠幅11米,树龄已有200余年。

    In Shiyanqiao Town, Longchang City, Neijiang City, there are tens of thousands of mu of teatrees, among which the king of teatrees in Sifangjing Village has the longest history. It is more than 200 years old, 7.8 meters high, 0.62 meters in diameter at breast height, and has an average crown width of 11 meters .

    关于这株树的由来有一个有趣的故事。很久以前,村中有位刘姓木匠见路边有鸡群,便心生贪念,欲捉鸡回家。可未等他反应过来,母鸡就跑入坟堆消失不见,他只抓住一只落单小鸡,便装进竹篮带回家。不久,小鸡竟变成一块金元宝,刘木匠欣喜若狂。但在那之后,他莫名受伤,四处寻医也未治愈。他顿时醒悟:不义之财不可得。于是,他将金元宝捐赠出去,伤口很快愈合。而母鸡钻进的坟堆竟长出一株油茶树,也就是这株油茶树王。

    There is an interesting story aboutthis tree. A long time ago, a carpenter surnamed Liu saw a flock of chickens by the roadside. He became greedy and wanted to catch them. But before he could react, the hen ran into the graveyard and disappeared. He only grabbed a single chick, put it in a basket and took it home. Before long, the chicken turned into a gold ingotand he was overjoyed. But after that, he gotinjuredinexplicably, looking formedicine but nothing ever worked. Suddenly it dawned on him that ill-gotten gains were not to be had. So he donated the gold ingot and the wound healed shortly after.Ateatree has grownin the graveyardthat thehenraninto-- that is the king of tea trees.
