Old Beijing folk custom
Symbol: the days are getting better and better.
Moral: longevity
Almost all quadrangles in old Beijing have persimmon trees. Influenced by Grandpa Lao She, our family also planted persimmon trees in the yard, also called "Dan Persimmon Garden". Life is thriving and safe.
There is nothing particular about planting persimmon trees in the yard. Don't point to the gate and the door of the house. Just plant them in the open space facing the sun in the yard.
