How precious is the Bingdilian in Xuanwu Lake, Nanjing? Why do tourists pick it?

Since a parallel lotus flower bloomed beside Yueying Bridge in Xuanwu Lake, it has attracted a large number of tourists every day.

Recently, this lotus plant withered and then produced double-peduncled lotus pods. Unexpectedly, what happened next was heartbreaking and angry: tourists secretly picked them off without the management's attention!

It is understood that the Bingdilian is a treasure among lotus flowers. The chance of its occurrence is only about one in 100,000. It is very rare. It also has a very good symbolic meaning. The Bingdilian is known as the "gentleman among flowers". It is the best among lotus flowers. Since ancient times, people have regarded it as a sign of auspiciousness and joy, the embodiment of kindness and beauty, and a symbol of a hundred years of good union and eternal unity. In ancient literary works, Bingtilian is known as a symbol of love, implying love and happiness between husband and wife. It also symbolizes the lingering love between men and women; the brotherhood of brothers and the deep affection. ?

At 14:00 on July 26, the law enforcement team of the Xuanwu Lake Management Office patrolled near Bingtilian as usual to prevent anyone from picking lotus flowers. Unexpectedly, they stopped watching for a while.

The lotus pod disappeared in the blink of an eye! ?

After learning that the lotus pods had been picked, the scenic spot took it very seriously and quickly sent out patrols to search the surrounding area, and soon found the picker, Mr. Cao.

He said that he was traveling to Nanjing from other places and saw such a rare species for the first time. He thought it was very beautiful and wanted to take it to his family as a souvenir. This flower is so rare that it is intended to be kept as a specimen for tourists to enjoy. If you pick it, what will others think? ?The law enforcement team members criticized and educated him.

After searching, it was picked by Cao, a foreign tourist. Cao said that he thought the Bingdilian was rare and beautiful, and wanted to pick it off as a souvenir to bring to his family. In the end, Cao was fined 200 yuan.

The scenic spot said that the picked lotus pods will be made into specimens for long-term preservation according to the original plan. Professional institutions with experience in making plant specimens are welcome to contact the scenic spot.

At the same time, the scenic spot calls on tourists to visit the park in a civilized manner and not to pick scenic plants without authorization.

Uncivilized behavior in the park will be punished in accordance with the "Nanjing Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area Protection Regulations".

We have been criticized and fined, but the lotus pods cannot be put back?
