The simplest thing is to plant a tree in front of the grave.
The best way to plant trees is to plant pines and cypresses, which are evergreen all the year round, with high survival rate and insect resistance. It means eternal life Location usually depends on specifications. In the past, there were rules for planting trees, according to levels. Generally even, 2, 4, 6, 8, 16 trees are planted on both sides of the monument.
Planting cypress trees in graves originated from a folklore. According to legend, there was an evil beast in ancient times, named raccoon, who liked to steal corpses and livers. Every night, he comes out to dig graves and eat corpses.
Animals are flexible, quick-moving, elusive and hard to prevent, but they are afraid of tigers and cypresses, so the ancients often set up Shi Hu and planted cypresses in cemeteries to avoid this evil beast.
2. Mulberry trees are suitable for planting around the cemetery.
Generally speaking, if there are mulberry trees around the cemetery, it means that the land is very solid, the bigger the tree, the better, the denser the leaves, the more auspicious, and the tall mulberry trees will produce nobles.
