In ancient times, people's information was not as developed as it is today, and their understanding of life and death was not enough. So the previous generation said that some plants can't be planted at home, and the next generation won't disobey orders. Everyone has a mentality of believing what is there rather than believing what is not, which may be a shame for these plants who have violated the name taboo and have been unable to get close to the house for thousands of years. These plants are as follows:
Banyan tree:
As the saying goes, banyan trees can't tolerate people. Cann't banyan trees be planted in the yard? On this issue, Xiao Zhuge thinks that banyan trees are unacceptable for two reasons:
1. The roots of banyan trees are particularly developed. Thick roots are three times the height of trees, which will extend from the ground to neighboring houses and buildings, resulting in unstable houses. When roots are entangled and hugged tightly, houses will collapse and people will have no house to live in.
In the past, the hills around the cemetery were covered with banyan trees. First, because of its long roots, it symbolizes the continuation of future generations; Second, trees are shaded, which means that future generations have been sheltered by their ancestors and have big trees to rely on. Therefore, people say that the trees in the cemetery can only accommodate banyan trees and cannot be inhabited.
In fact, the magnetic field of the banyan tree itself is oxygen-gathering, which is called Juyang in Feng Shui.
Mulberry:
Most families don't grow mulberries, because mulberries and mourning are homophonic, so it's unlucky to go out and see mulberries.
Willow:
Folk taboo willow and flow homophonic, planting willow in the back of the house is to flow money out of the house. In addition, some people think that willow branches are inserted in Qingming, and willow branches are shaded, which has a poor image. In addition, willows do not bear seeds, and children are close to seeds, which is unlucky. In fact, in geomantic omen, trees and mountains should be used as backers behind the house, and willows are close to the water and thin, which is not a good material for backers.
Poplar:
The wind is blowing on the poplar, and the leaves are rustling, which makes people upset. People are also called big mouth hands, and ghosts are also called clapping hands, so in order to avoid trouble, most people don't like to plant poplars. As for ghosts clapping their hands, poplars will make waves when the wind blows, and superstitious people think it will attract ghosts.
Peach tree:
People often ask the question: Is it really unlucky to plant peach trees? The flowers of peach trees are blood red. People think that the blood-red color of peach trees is just a little bit of blood, which is very unlucky. In addition, some people think that peach is homophonic with escape. When foreign enemies invade, it is easy for people to associate peach trees with fleeing. Naturally, no one wants to plant peach trees in the yard. From the perspective of geomantic omen, peach trees are the essence of the five elements, which can make hundreds of ghosts, so they are hung on the door during the New Year.
Cypress:
Cypress has the meaning of longevity, which was originally auspicious. Unfortunately, cypress trees are often planted in cemeteries, also known as grave trees. In some places, planting cypress trees in houses with ominous meanings is also considered taboo. But Europeans usually decorate their gardens with cypresses.
Li Zishu:
This is also a name taboo. Because plum and plum are homophonic, people think that planting plum trees in the yard means that the owner is lustful and his wife is ruined.
Gladiolus:
Because gladiolus means being cut and slaughtered for surgery, it is taboo in patients' homes.
The so-called taboos actually mostly come from homophones and meanings. From the perspective of geomantic omen, the position and species of plants are the real influence. As for taboos, there are only some psychological effects.
(2) Poisonous plants
The toxicity of plants is a self-protection function, mainly to resist foreign enemies. After years of research, it has been found that 52 kinds of plants contain cancer-promoting substances, and these plants have been discouraged by Feng Shui. Common ones are: hardwood (Ficus microcarpa), hardwood (meteor hardwood), alpine snow (silver green, ivory white) and begonia (tiger thorn plum). The southern region is called Babao), Osmanthus fragrans (green purple wood, red osmanthus), Sapium sebiferum (red sapium sebiferum), Tung oil tree (Tung oil tree, papaya), Tung oil tree (Millennium Tung tree), Xiang Jie (Huangruihua, knotted flower, golden belt) and Stellera chamaejasme (taro, Guangdong) are people-oriented. If such plants are planted in the living room, people may increase the risk of cancer due to long-term inhalation of pollen and dust particles.
In addition to the above plants containing cancer-promoting substances, when placing plants indoors, we should also consider whether the smell released by plants is beneficial to us. Xiao Zhuge described the common harmful plants as follows for readers' reference:
Lilac: It consumes a lot of oxygen during photosynthesis, which affects human health.
Cordate telosma: when photosynthesis stops at night, a large amount of waste gas is discharged, which has adverse effects on patients with hypertension and heart disease.
Tulip: Tulip flowers are toxic and alkaline, and it is easy to make people's hair fall off if they are exposed to too much.
Jade clove: Its smell is irritating to people's stomachs.
Hydrangea: The particles emitted by hydrangea can make people's skin allergic and cause itching.
Mimosa: Mimosin in Mimosa is a very toxic organic substance. Too much contact with human body will make hair fall off, especially those who are weak in wood and strong in gold.
Bauhinia: Long-term contact between pollen and asthma patients will aggravate the condition.
Narcissus: Don't break its stems and leaves, because its colorless and transparent mucus contains colchicine, which is a toxic substance. Eating by mistake can cause gastrointestinal reactions such as vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Drip Guanyin: Its stem will secrete some juice. When we touch it, it will cause skin itching, and if it touches the wound, it will cause poisoning.
Poinsettia: Some media pointed out that the whole plant of Poinsettia is toxic, especially the white juice in the stems and leaves will stimulate the skin and cause allergic reactions, such as eating stems and leaves by mistake, which is in danger of poisoning.
Calla lily: The flowers are poisonous and contain a lot of calcium oxalate crystals and alkaloids. Eating by mistake can cause poisoning symptoms such as coma.
Visually, plants can beautify the home. Scientifically speaking, plants have the function of protecting the environment and the power to make up for the deficiency in geomantic omen. If you want to increase your luck and health, you might as well plant some feng shui plants at home. Readers can consider indoor plants from two aspects: personal preference and feng shui benefit. These plants are not suitable for growing at home, and which plants are suitable for growing indoors?
Which plants are suitable for growing indoors?
(1) Auspicious plants
People in China prefer auspicious atmosphere, and family members cannot do without auspiciousness, so we can also refer to the following plants when planting flowers:
Orchid: a symbol of brilliant fame, which can enlighten wisdom and increase self-cultivation. This is a popular flower.
Bamboo: It symbolizes the safety of bamboo. In geomantic omen, bamboo can be divided into three types:
1. Yun Sheng Bamboo: This is a kind of cutting plant. Cut a small piece of bamboo and plant it again, which means steady and rising, and is mostly used in the workplace. Author Xiong reminds readers that there are two requirements for planting bamboo. First, we can't choose eight floors, which is not good for officials. Second, there should be clear branches and leaves. When new leaves grow, they should be trimmed, not messy.
2. Transshipment of bamboo: The top of bamboo is deliberately twisted into a circle, indicating transshipment.
3. Fuguizhu: This is a common home improvement plant. Due to different uses, its names are divided into Fugui Bamboo and Wenchang Bamboo.
Chrysanthemum: a symbol of happiness and longevity. The British hate chrysanthemum and think it is a funeral flower.
Guishu: This is the homonym of auspicious tree, Gui and Gui, and the auspicious meaning of Gui Zi is Gui Zi.
Citrus: Oranges are homophonic with auspicious sounds, and potted oranges have become the decoration of people's families during the Spring Festival.
(2) Wang's marriage plants
Ornamental cymbidium: the leaves of ornamental cymbidium will change periodically with the change of temperature, green, white, pink, pink, and then back to green. Unmarried women can be placed on dressing tables and desks, which can support their temperament and increase their marital fortune.
Carnation: Since 1907, pink carnation has been used as a symbol of Mother's Day abroad. Putting carnations will enhance the positive energy of maternal love and benefit the relationship between husband and wife.
Arranging flowers in your love feng shui position, perseverance, can promote love luck. For those who already have a lover and are in love, placing flowers at home can make love last for a long time.
Flowers have the magic power to attract love, career and health, while artificial flowers such as silk ribbon flowers and plastic flowers have little influence on the geomantic omen in the house because they have no life.
(3) beneficial plants
Some plants have a certain effect on purifying indoor air and reducing the concentration of formaldehyde pollutants, but these plants have been ignored to some extent.
Aloe Vera: in addition to formaldehyde's Good Helper. Most people plant a lot of aloe vera before moving into a new house.
Cycas: It has two functions, one is to remove benzene, and the other is to eliminate evil spirits, so it should be placed on the balcony.
Rose: It can remove more than 80% of harmful gases in the air, and some people plant it in the bathroom to absorb odor.
Ivy: It can absorb 90% benzene in a room of 8 to 10 square meter.
Elm: There is a saying in Feng Shui that there are elms behind the house, and ghosts are not close. This is mainly because elm has the ability to expel oxygen and emit fenduojing, and it is an ideal home plant.
Pueraria lobata: Photosynthesis will release a lot of oxygen, but some botanists say Pueraria lobata will release toxic substances, so we will put it in the place with the highest carbon dioxide content in Feng Shui, which is the best practice.
If your feelings, marriage, children, health, career and fortune are not good, and the layout of home feng shui is unreasonable, please remember the advice given by Xiao Zhuge: adjust your numerology and the layout of your living environment. Good luck needs to be grasped by yourself. Conditioning is the last word, and feng shui is around us.
Paying attention to me is a good marriage and will bring you good luck! The eight-character geomantic omen is not superstition, so we should correctly use the knowledge of Yijing geomantic omen to solve the problem of hit.
