"The well is deep and the locust tree is thick, and the street is wide and the people are light": Where there used to be wells, there must be plenty of water. When water is good, vegetation will grow well, so trees can flourish. This is a very clear thing, but "the street is vast and sparsely populated" should be carefully explained:
In the past, only people waiting for big officials needed to lift carts, and even small officials had no right to ride them. In ordinary houses, people can only walk, so there are paths in front of ordinary houses, and relatives and friends walk in and out, so it is very lively, and the roads are narrow and crowded. However, once you become a big official, you can take a big sedan chair. This kind of treatment is not much, so the road in front of the door needs to be wide to pass smoothly. Our ancient family buildings, including the size of courtyards, have a strict registration system, and you can't just build them with money. Some of them were given by the emperor, so these places are all senior officials, and only the level has reached a certain level. We have seen Ji Xiaolan's sedan chair with iron teeth and copper teeth in Ji Xiaolan.
Once you become a high official, you can't just go in and out for ordinary people. Most of them are officials at the same level. Such people will be a minority, and the width of the street will make you more indifferent.
As for planting locust trees in front of your house, you should pay attention to the distance. If it is too close, it will affect the lighting at home. At the same time, it will feel cold in winter, but it will have the benefit of enjoying the cool in summer. In short, there are good and bad. You can plant them a little further from the house.
