摘要: 青藏高原的格桑花是什么植物或者说是什么植物的花,存在广泛争议,困扰着想一探究竟的人们。格桑花作为一种精神存在于藏族百姓心中,是他们追求幸福吉祥和美好生活的情感象征,是重要的雪域文化标识,认识熟知并开发利用好它,将有助于推动藏区生态、文化和产业振兴。金露梅是青藏高原分布最广的树木,按集生羽状复叶小叶数可分为5叶金露梅和7叶金露梅,《中国植物志》对它们的记载分别是金露梅(Potentilla fruticosa L.)和小叶金露梅(P.parvifolia Fisch.)。通过对青藏高原植被和历史文化景观考察,结合当地藏民描述及地方传说,本研究认为格桑花就是金露梅,其分布海拔可以拓展到5200 m的高寒恶劣环境。金露梅生性强健,耐寒、耐旱、耐瘠薄、耐强光,象征着藏族同胞刚毅、坚强、勤劳质朴、不畏严寒、生命力顽强的品格。Abstract: There is widespread debate regarding the identity of the galsang flower from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. For the Tibetan people, the galsang flower is an important part of the local culture, emotionally symbolizing the pursuit of happiness, auspiciousness, and a good life. Improving our understanding of this plant will help promote the ecological development as well as the cultural and industrial revitalization of the Tibetan region. Potentilla fruticosa L. is widely distributed across the Tibetan Plateau. It can be divided into five-leaf and seven-leaf varieties depending on the number of pinnately compound leaves, identified as P. fruticosa and P. parvifolia Fisch., respectively, in the Flora of China. Based on investigations of the vegetation and cultural landscape of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and descriptions from the Tibetan people, it is believed that the galsang flower is P. fruticosa. The distribution of P. fruticosa extends to cold and harsh environments at altitudes of up to 5200 m, regardless of wind and snow. Thus, P. fruticosa can tolerant cold temperatures, drought conditions, barren soil, and strong light, thus symbolizing the characteristics of the Tibetan people, who are resolute, strong, hardworking, and plain, with the ability to withstand harsh and cold environments.
