In daily life, people like to plant some flowers and trees in and around the residential courtyard. For the orientation of planting plants, Feng Shui has the following statement: "There are trees in the middle gate, and wealth is the third." "There are elms behind the house, and ghosts are not close." "I like to plant double dates in front of the door, surrounded by bamboo and trees to make money." There are mulberry trees in the four corners of the house, and the disaster is unstoppable.
Judging from the number of trees planted, Feng Shui believes that if the environment around the house is narrow, don't plant a variety of trees, otherwise it will help to shade it; Only the sparse left and right behind are densely planted to block their emptiness. In addition, there are: "a single tree is the door, my widowed mother is lonely", "the door is in the forest, and the acute illness is more fierce", "the left tree is not straight, and the good luck is less and more fierce", "the left tree is three to five, and the husband and wife are equal" and "the single tree is flat"
Xiu, the two surnames are not harmonious, and "the left tree is severely disabled and the fortune is prosperous."
In Kaifeng, Henan Province, there is a folk song of "house taboo": "Don't plant mulberry before, willow after, clap your hands in front of the door." Sang and mourning are homophonic; "Willow" refers to the fact that willow branches are often used as "mourning sticks" and "evoking souls" at funerals after parents' death. "Ghost clapping" refers to poplars, many of which are in the base, and the leaves make people clap their hands in the wind.
There is also a folk saying that there is no locust behind the house. It is said that there was a custom of respecting Sophora japonica in ancient times. Sophora japonica was a symbol of good luck, longevity and official position in ancient times, so people prohibited planting Sophora japonica in the back of the house.
These taboos seem absurd, but if we look at the growth characteristics of these different tree species, we can find that they are quite scientific. For example, Sophora japonica likes light and is not tolerant of shade, so it is suitable for planting in the south of the house. Elm is a fast-growing tree species with lush foliage, which is beneficial to wind and cold protection when planted in the house. What is particularly interesting is that elm has a strong ability to absorb toxic gases and smoke. It can purify the air and protect the environment when planted in a house, so there is a saying that "a hundred ghosts are not close".
The following are some taboos about folk tree planting:
It is forbidden to plant neem in the hospital, because neem is a bitter bean, which means that the owner eats bitter fruit. Avoid planting apricot trees in the courtyard. As the saying goes, "People don't like trees (apricots), and trees are not gratifying."
Avoid planting cypress trees, which is ominous.
Avoid planting banyan trees and plantains and bananas around houses.
People also avoid the big trees in the hospital to cover the roof. As the saying goes, yang will hinder, yin will rise, luck will be bad, and disasters will be endless. As the saying goes, "a big tree leads to a porch, and all diseases will continue."
If the tree planted in the hospital dies, it is very unlucky, and it must be planed off or planted with new trees at once.
