A strange way to get relaxed has become popular to cities across China. That is hugging trees. Young people feel comfortable after tree- hugging.
Hundreds of people online share their tree- hugging experiences. They think they feel less stressed (有压力的) and worried. It is also a way of keeping a close relationship with the natural world. By hugging a tree, some of them feel the tree is hugging them back.
Jenny gave up her job because of too much work stress. According to her, hugging trees helps her a lot . She enjoys herself in hugging trees." Hugging trees helps me relax and lets me go back to a natural state(状态). I feel so free and feel the world is so big."
In fact, hugging trees is a kind of psychological therapy (心理治疗). It first came from northern Europe. In northern Finland, there's even a tree- hugging competition every August. A study shows that hugging can lead people to give off hormone(荷尔蒙). Hormone can give people feelings of love and make people less stressed.
Though tree- hugging is helpful for people's body and mind, there are many things we should think about before we do that.
