Core Viewpoint - Improving the rural living environment is a key task in implementing the rural revitalization strategy, which meets the intrinsic needs of farmers for a better life. A significant aspect of this is enhancing rural greening and beautification by utilizing local resources and characteristics [1][3]. Group 1: Importance of Local Plants - Some regions blindly follow trends by planting "popular plants," leading to uniform "internet celebrity landscapes" and even damaging local native plants, which should be addressed [1]. - Utilizing local plants enhances the scientific nature of greening and beautification efforts, as each area's climate and soil conditions vary, necessitating careful consideration of local characteristics [1]. - For example, in Yunnan's Shuangbai County, the use of native plants like Phoenix trees and blue jacaranda has resulted in over 80% greening coverage without additional costs for cold and disease protection [1]. Group 2: Economic and Cultural Value of Local Plants - Local plants can generate tangible benefits, encouraging communities to plant them and gaining local support. For instance, in Nanyang, Henan, the cultivation of roses has led to the development of tourism projects, attracting many visitors [2]. - Local products such as soap pods, hawthorn, chestnuts, and elm seeds can be processed into green, healthy specialty agricultural products, helping local residents increase their income [2]. - Local plants serve as both ecological and cultural resources, with many plant communities becoming cultural symbols and emotional anchors for local residents, enhancing community cohesion and sense of belonging [2]. Group 3: Long-term Goals for Rural Greening - Rural greening and beautification is a long-term and challenging task that requires deep exploration of the ecological, economic, and cultural values of local plants [3]. - Building a harmonious living environment that showcases the unique charm of rural landscapes will invigorate rural areas and contribute to a happier and more beautiful modern rural life [3].
