No matter in the south or the north, there is a saying in many areas that pepper trees are not planted in the yard. People think it is unlucky to plant pepper in the yard, because there are many sharp thorns on pepper, which will affect family relations and may bring bad luck.
Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a prickly plant. If it is cultivated in the courtyard, it is very unfavorable from the perspective of feng shui. Thorny plants will affect the harmony of family relations, which will lead to all kinds of quarrels and disputes. If the family relationship is not harmonious, the fortune of the whole family will naturally be affected, so people are very shy.
There have been many such things among the people, that is, after raising pepper at home, they will suffer a series of disasters. However, this phenomenon obviously disappeared after the pepper was cut down. Therefore, pepper is a symbol of disaster in people's eyes, which is very unlucky. Maintenance in the hospital is not recommended.
plant culture
Zanthoxylum bungeanum was first recorded in the Book of Songs. The Book of Songs is a collection of folk poems in the Western Zhou Dynasty, from which we can see that Chinese people used pepper more than 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. Ancient people thought that the smell of pepper could ward off evil spirits. In some dynasties, the court used pepper to penetrate paint to paste walls. This kind of house is called pepper room, which is for ladies-in-waiting.
Later, comparing the pepper room with the sentence "After the pseudo-discussion" in the sixteenth chapter of the Collected Works of Cao Cao and A Dream of Red Mansions, it is enough to prove that the quasi-pepper room enters the palace early on the second and sixth day of each month.
Zanthoxylum bungeanum bears many fruits. There is a saying in The Book of Songs that "the pepper is solid but prosperous". Zanthoxylum bungeanum is also an aromatic preservative. Judging from the excavated Han tombs, the coffins inside are often filled with the fruits of Zanthoxylum bungeanum.
Probably because of its efficient function of preventing insects and preventing corrosion, but also because of the feudal superstition of "thriving and having many descendants". Among the cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan in Mancheng County, Hebei Province (BC 1 13), there are well-preserved peppers.
