This project is meant to continue and improve the previous work on creative publicity of plants and flowers in Sangpu Shan and raise people's awareness of protecting the precious nature reserve.
To make it accessible to more people, especially young people who have some limited knowledge of the local environment, we used an official WeChat account. We use some materials of the website done by previous students, add some new plants and follow the vivid and colloquial language style to make the information interesting and easy to understand.
Again, the ultimate goal is to promote people's awareness of protect the local environment and appreciate it!
Here are the plants that we present in the WeChat articles：
Guangdong Jieyang Sangpu Mountain Shuangkeng Provincial Nature Reserve is is a provincial nature reserve planned and constructed by the Guangdong Provincial People's Government in 2000-2009 as determined by the Guangdong Provincial [2000] No.1 document.
Let’s explore the beauty of the flowers and the plants in Sangpu Shan together!
你好，我叫山姜！
Hello! My name is Alpinia japonica, also known as Japanese Ginger.
我住在林间阴湿处，在4-8月间绽放。如你所见，我和姐妹们很亲近，挨在一块儿成了最长达30厘米的队伍，一出道就不解散噢！
I live in shady and humid parts of the forests, and I bloom in April and stay until August. As you see, I live closely with my sisters, and we form a wonderful group of 30 centimeter at most, and we never leave each other!
此外，我的果实圆圆的，跟你们小时候玩的小尺寸弹珠差不多大。它们小小的身躯可蕴含着神奇的力量，能帮助你们人类治疗消化不良、促进血液循环等，很有价值噢。但现在我也被世界自然保护联盟列为低危物种，要好好保护我呀，不然我会越来越孤单，你也很难见到我啦。
My fruits are as big as the small marbles that children play with. They are small but extraordinary because they can help you treat indigestion and improve blood circulation. But now I’ve been listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as LC (low risk) species. If you don’t protect me, I will feel more and more lonely in the mountain and you will find me no more.
你好！我叫狗牙花，住在中国南方，因为我喜欢这儿炎热潮湿的环境。如果气温低于10℃，我就会感到不适了。爱我，就要多给我阳光和水噢。
Hello! My name is pinwheel flower (Ervatamia divaricata). I live in southern China because I love the hot and humid conditions here. And I will feel very uncomfortable if the temperature is below 10 ℃. So, if you love me, give me water and sunshine!
由于我颜值高，很多人邀请我加入他们的艺术创作中呢！而且我的花季为六月到十一月，横跨了夏秋两季，欢迎来登桑浦山看我，本花真花比照片还靓噢！
Many people find me beautiful and make me a part of their art. I begin to bloom in June and stay till November, which is quite long! You can find me in Sangpu Mountain and you’ll find me even more beautiful than me in the picture!
对了，我的叶子兄弟可是个大佬，他能帮助你们人类降血压、缓解疼痛、治疗眼疾，如此优秀，真不愧是我兄弟！
Oh, maybe I should also introduce my excellent brother who can help lower your blood pressure, heal people of eye disease and headache. I’m so proud of him！
嗨！我叫牵牛花，或许你们还常称呼我喇叭花。
Hi, I’m Pharbitis nil, or morning glory. Maybe you prefer to call me a “trumpet-shaped flower”.
你看到照片里我是淡蓝色的，但其实我还有很多姐妹，她们身着胭脂红色、紫罗兰色、紫色或混合色，各有特点！擅长穿搭的大家族，说的就是我们吧！
As you see, I’m in pale blue. And actually, I have many sisters who are in purple, carmine, violet, or even mixed colors. So, we are a big family with diverse dressing styles!
我在中国很受欢迎呢，你们看看那些描绘或取材于我的诗歌和传说就知道了。我最喜欢在夏天开花，我享受阳光也喜欢阴凉。只要温度适宜，我保证能把你的窗户阳台装点得漂漂亮亮！
