Pomegranate tree was very popular in ancient times, not only because of its beautiful appearance and edible value, but also because of its numerous seeds and the implication of having many children and grandchildren. Pomegranate was deeply loved by the ancients in ancient times when filial piety and clan inheritance were emphasized. In order to pray for prosperity, every family is planting pomegranate trees in their own yards, especially in Jiangsu, Henan, Anhui and other places.
The scenery of persimmon trees
I lived in the countryside when I was a child. There is a persimmon tree planted by my grandfather in the yard. Every autumn harvest season, persimmon trees will be covered with persimmons from Huang Chengcheng. At this time, children will drool and ask adults to help me pick some persimmons, which is rare. But after eating, adults will refuse, warning that they will wait until winter to pick all persimmons.
I didn't know what it meant to be an adult when I was a child. I didn't find it until I grew up. As the weather gets colder and colder, the leaves slowly fall, and the persimmons hanging on the trees turn from Huang Chengcheng to fiery red. From a distance, they are like small lanterns hanging on branches, which is very gratifying.
In traditional China, people hang lanterns and red lanterns on festive days, because red symbolizes happiness and good luck. If there is a persimmon tree with lanterns in the yard, it means that the family will be more prosperous in the future, so persimmon tree has become the most suitable tree for planting in rural yards.
