文 化 趣 谈
神农架因华夏始祖炎帝神农氏在此架木
为梯, 采尝百草, 救民疾夭, 教民稼穑而得
名。 神农架林区,
1970
年经国务院批准建
制, 直属湖北省管辖, 是中国唯一以 “林
区” 命名的行政区划。 神农架林区位于湖北
省西部, 地跨东经

为什么是神农架?
大家早上好。 我很开心能代表人与自然
和谐相处协会在这里发表演讲。
众所周知, 神农架在
2016
年正式入选
联合国教科文组织的 《世界遗产名录》。 世
界上重要的地方那么多, 但许多都没有被列
入该名单。 所以你可能会问
:
为什么是神农
架? 是因为它拥有像绿色海洋般广袤的森林
吗? 还是因为它是以中国草药之父神农命名
的? 抑或是因为神秘的 “野人” 吸引了全世
界的目光?
联合国教科文组织令神农架入选是因为
它符合入选名录的两项标准: 第一, 它拥有
一个自然平衡的环境, 使许多不同的物种得
以生存和繁衍。 第二, 它也是世界上人迹罕
至之地, 科学家们可以实时观察到植物和
动物发展和进化过程中的生态学和生物学
过程。
就第一项标准而言, 我们可以自豪地说
神农架是世界上最 “完整” 的自然区域之
一。 该地区的海拔从大约
400
米上升到
3000
多米, 被称为 “华中屋脊”。 海拔的巨大差
异导致了迥然不同的气候环境, 使得大量不
同的物种得以繁衍生息。 一些动植物生存了
数百万年, 被视为活化石。
对于第二个标准, 我们可以看到神农架
有着极丰富的生物多样性。 请看这张幻灯

片。 根据官方统计, 在神农架内有记录的植
物物种超过
3000
种, 占到了中国全部开花
植物的
10%
以上。 神农架还有
600
多种脊椎
动物, 包括川金丝猴和云豹。 此外, 有记录
的昆虫物种也达到了
4300
种左右。
照顾如此多的物种是一项挑战。 冬季,
科学家们不畏暴雪和严寒为川金丝猴提供食
物。 也正是因为他们的付出, 川金丝猴的数
量相比于
20
世纪
80
年代增加了一倍, 到
2015
年达到
1300
多只, 而且其数量还在持
续增长。
不过神农架给人印象最深的地方还在
于当地人的生活方式, 他们从大自然中索
取, 但不会破坏生态平衡。 我去了一个以
自制蜂蜜而闻名的当地村庄参观。 这种蜂
蜜的独特之处在于它是由最古老的一种中
华蜜蜂产的。 每年春天, 村民们就会在自
家周围放置些蜂箱, 吸引森林中的野生蜜
蜂。 虽然在中国的其他地区, 由于外来物
种入侵, 这种蜜蜂濒临灭绝, 但是神农架
的人们和这种蜜蜂已经共存了几个世纪 ,
村民为它们提供安全住所, 蜜蜂为人们提
供蜂蜜。 这只是神农架的村民与自然和谐
相处的方式之一。
以上这些解释了为什么神农架能够并理
应入选联合国教科文组织的 《世界遗产名
录》, 同时也强调了人们的理解、 认识和付
出是如何促进对这一自然界独特且美好区域
的保护的。
感谢大家的聆听。 现在大家有什么问
题吗?

The Wonders of Fanjing Mountain
Good afternoon, everyone! I蒺m very ha鄄
ppy to be here to give a short lecture.
Have you ever heard of Fanjing Mountain
or have you ever visited it? If you haven蒺t,
you soon will! Fanjing Mountain lies in Tong鄄
ren, Guizhou Province with an elevation of
about 2,570 metres. It is the highest peak of
the Wuling Mountain range in south鄄west Chi鄄
na. Fanjing Mountain was added to the UN鄄
ESCO World Heritage List in 2018.
The Fanjingshan Nature Reserve was es鄄
tablished in 1978 and represents one of the
country蒺s greatest achievements in environ鄄
mental protection. The rich biodiversity of the
Wuling Mountain range is the principal reason
for Fanjing Mountain蒺s inclusion in the UN鄄
ESCO World Heritage List. Comprising the
largest subtropical primeval beech forest, the
region is home to 2,000 species of plants, such
as the endangered Chinese dove tree. Endan鄄
gered animal species that can be found on
Fanjing Mountain and its surrounding moun鄄

Fanjing Mountain is of course also
renowned for the breathtaking views from its
summit
—
or, more accurately
“
summits
”
, as
there are three of these! And when night falls
leaving this magnificent scenery in darkness,
the Mushroom Stone, one of the many strange
rock formations is illuminated so that visitors
can still marvel at the wonders of Fanjing
Mountain.
All explains why Faning Mountain earned
its place on the UNESCO World Heritage
List.
Thank you for your listening! Now, does
anyone have any questions?
