A Chinese legend has it that a ginkgo biloba was reportedly planted near a temple to protect the monks from malicious forces. It is also said that the golden leaves of the ginkgo, which appear in the autumn, symbolize light and wisdom. In Japanese culture, ginkgo is associated with love and peace, and fan-shaped leaves are often used in art and poetry to symbolize harmony.

Ginkgo biloba is a tree capable of living for more than 2000 years, resisting many diseases and pollution.
