Ginkgo leaves

Ginkgo leaf

Huang Jiahe

This is a ginkgo leaf. It is a small yellow fan-shaped leaf that shines under the light. If you look carefully, the veins of its leaves are very clear, like stripes woven with silk threads. There are some faint brown spots on the edges of the leaves. This leaf has obviously gone through a wind and rain, and there are several small holes on its edge, which makes it look a bit old.

I stroked it and felt the veins of this ginkgo leaf. Its leaf veins feel quite comfortable to the touch, like threads on cloth. Its stems are densely veined, reminding me of the wrinkles on an old man's forehead. Maybe this leaf is also very old.

The smell of ginkgo leaves has an extremely cool feeling. It has a fresh smell unique to plants. Thinking back carefully, isn't that the kind of fresh smell that comes from the bushes and woods on rainy days? Maybe, this is the unique smell of all plants! Such a flavor full of vitality and vitality.

Before I saw it, it must have suffered a lot of blows and wind and rain, but it still survived and insisted on protecting its own life. Until now, it is so full of life, as if it had just grown.

What a leaf worth cherishing! It has gone through wind and rain, but tenaciously protects its life. I want to preserve this leaf so that its life can last forever. I want to make it into a bookmark and put it among my favorite books.

Ginkgo leaf

Huang Siyuan

Let me introduce this leaf given to me by Teacher Chen.

It is composed of leaf veins, petiole and leaf surface. Its leaves are golden, like a golden little fan, and also like a very precious little umbrella. Look at its smoothness. The front is smoother and the back is rough. There is a short and narrow stripe on the ginkgo leaf, and there are a few small black spots next to it, with some patterns. When you hold it in your hand, it feels a little itchy.

Let me tell you what the petiole looks like. It is thin and tender. Let’s talk about it first. It is as thin as a pen refill. Then let’s talk about its tenderness. It is as tender as snail meat. When I pinched it, it produced transparent juice.

Let me finally talk about leaf veins. Its veins are like beards. When I smell it, there is a refreshing smell inside. After smelling this smell, I feel relaxed. I put a piece of leaf vein on my chin and felt a little sticky. I also felt like I had a beard.

What a beautiful ginkgo leaf, I want to treasure it well and put it in a book.
