Rural residential areas are generally large, and many people will plant trees in their own yards and enjoy the cool in the shade in summer.
But from the perspective of geomantic omen in China, the common trees are "shade trees" and "yang trees". Old people think that "planting shadow trees is not good for feng shui" and it is unlucky to plant "shadow trees" at home.
So, what are shade trees and which trees are suitable for planting at home?
What is a shady tree? In fact, there is no difference between shade trees and sun trees. It's just that ancestors thought that different kinds of trees would have different effects on family fortune. They call some trees that can improve family fortune sun trees, and think that planting these trees can prolong life and keep good luck.
Some trees that will destroy the family fortune are called shade trees, and it is believed that the existence of such trees will bring bad influence to the whole family and destroy the original feng shui pattern.
What are the common shade trees? 1 Mulberry
Mulberry trees are common, especially in the south. Many areas get rich by silk, so a large number of mulberry trees are planted, and some farmers also have many mulberry trees in their yards.
But the ancestors thought that Mulberry was a typical "shade tree", which was harmful to the whole family.
Ancient science and technology were underdeveloped, and many life phenomena could not be explained, so people believed in "homophonic terrier".
Because "mulberry" and "mourning" are homophonic, the ancients thought it was unlucky to plant mulberry trees in the yard. The more luxuriant the branches of mulberry trees grow, the greater the adverse impact on family fortune.
Of course, according to today's scientific point of view, this statement is not credible.
Mulberry itself is not very big, and its leaves will not give off an unpleasant smell, so there is nothing wrong with planting mulberry.
2. Willow
Since ancient times, we have prayed for peace and perfection, but the willow tree means separation.
Whenever I leave my relatives and friends, or visit my ancestors' graves on special days, I always take a few willow branches with me.
In the eyes of the ancients, willow itself is synonymous with "depression" and "loneliness", so it is taboo to plant willow at home.
The ancients even said, "Never plant a willow before" to avoid your own willow and destroy your family wealth.
According to today's point of view, willow itself is just a kind of tree, which will not have a great impact on the so-called fortune.
However, during the growth of willow, catkins will appear, which is not only difficult to clean, but also easy to cause allergies, so it is not recommended to plant willow in your own yard.
Step 3: cypress
Cypress has always been called a "shade tree" among the people, because its wood and branches are considered unlucky and not suitable for modern people to touch.
In the folk, the main use of cypress is to make coffin boards.
Especially in areas rich in cypress trees, a large number of coffins with different styles are generally produced.
Although "seeing a coffin makes a fortune", the coffin itself is still considered unlucky, so people are reluctant to plant this kind of tree at home.
The cypress branches grow faster and are usually inserted in folk cemeteries to express the memory of the younger generation for their deceased relatives.
Some cemeteries also plant cypress trees as souvenirs, which are typical "shade trees", so they are not planted in "Yang Zhai".
What trees can be planted at home? 1, arhat pine
Podocarpus has a fast growth cycle and a green and straight appearance, which is very eye-catching in the courtyard.
Because of its high ornamental value, many people plant Podocarpus at home.
In fact, Luo also has the saying that "wealth is prosperous". The old man believes that if Luo is planted at home, future generations will not be poor.
2, pomegranate tree
Pomegranate flowers are in full bloom and the fruit is sour and sweet.
Because pomegranate is a multi-grain fruit, it has the meaning of "many children and many blessings" among the people.
Planting this kind of tree in the yard means that people are prosperous, life is always lively and the future is getting better and better.
3. Magnolia tree
Magnolia has always been admired by scholars, and many gentlemen often compare themselves with Magnolia to express their high-definition jade and purity.
When the spring breeze blows on your face, magnolia blooms and the garden is full of fragrance. From a distance, it is also a beautiful scenery.
The flowering period of this kind of flower is generally as long as 2-3 months, which has strong ornamental value and is suitable for planting at home.
In a word, the ancients thought that "planting trees" was closely related to their family's fortune, and that "shady trees" would destroy their family's feng shui and luck, which was unlucky.
Common "shade trees" include mulberry, willow and cypress. Of course, these statements have no scientific basis. When we plant them, we only need to consider whether the trees themselves will affect our normal life.
