Natural Environment
Persimmon Tree (Diospyros kaki Thunb.)

Persimmon trees are found throughout Huangling—lining terraced fields and flanking traditional residences—adding vibrant warmth to the famed "Drying Autumn" culture. These deciduous trees feature umbrella-shaped crowns, deeply furrowed gray bark, and glossy, oval leaves that turn golden-orange or red in fall. From May to June, bell-shaped pale yellow blossoms bloom quietly. By September, round or square-shaped persimmons ripen into brilliant orange lanterns that light up the landscape.

The character “” (shì) also represents good fortune and success in Chinese. The tree’s fruit is rich in vitamins and trace elements, enjoyed fresh, dried, or made into wine and vinegar. Its leaves and calyx are used medicinally to stop bleeding and reduce internal heat. Its dense, fine-grained wood is perfect for crafting furniture and artisanal objects.

As the villagers harvest and sun-dry the fruit each autumn, the brilliant persimmons, traditional architecture, and painted mountains form a world-renowned tableau. These ancient trees, witnesses to generations past, embody villagers' hopes for prosperity and their deep affection for cultural roots.
