willow are stretching upward.
在中國文學中，若指「柳」多半是指垂柳，但是一提到「柳絮」指的則是水柳的因為垂柳在果實成熟時，不會有隨風飄散的白色柳絮，而水柳才具有白色的柳絮。
In Chinese Literature, if the word is “willow (liu)”
mainly refers to the weeping willow, but when mention the word “willow
catkins(liu xu)” refers to water willow, because of when weeping willow fruit
ripen, the white catkins will not carried by the wind, only water willow has

雀榕被鄒族人視為神樹，他們相信在舉行馬雅斯比祭（戰獵祭）時，天神會沿著神樹而下進入會所，因此族人在祭典前，矯健俐落地攀上雀榕，砍下最接近天神的枝丫，以迎接天神的到來。此外，他們會在神樹前殺豬祭神、敬獻供品，而從神樹至會所的空間是神聖、不容許閒雜人穿越的。
