世界上的许多国家,都不约而同地通过民间评选或立法程序选定了国树、国花、国鸟、国石。这既激发了人民的爱国热情,增强了民族凝聚力和自豪感,也推动了生态环境的保护和绿色文化的发展。我国,近年来虽时有相关动议和呼声产生,但由于种种原因,时至今日仍是世界上惟一一个在这方面尚处空白的大国。 In many countries in the world, national trees, national flowers, national birds, and national rocks have been selected through civil selection or legislative procedures. This has not only inspired people’s patriotic enthusiasm, enhanced their national cohesion and pride, but also promoted the protection of the ecological environment and the development of green culture. In recent years, China has had related initiatives and voices. However, due to various reasons, it is still the only major country in the world that is still blank in this respect.
