There are many catchy proverbs circulating in the countryside, which are lessons learned by the older generation in their life and work.
There are many kinds of proverbs, many of which are related to the place where we live. For example, the proverb to be mentioned today is "five trees enter the house, and the poor family is defeated." What does this proverb mean? Which five trees can't be planted in the yard?
1, Sophora japonica.
Sophora japonica is a common tree in northern China. People often plant locust trees on both sides of their fence. In spring, when Sophora japonica blooms, naughty children often climb the tree and pick sweet Sophora japonica to eat. Of course, it is inevitable to be scolded by parents.
People usually plant Sophora japonica outside the door, and almost no one will plant Sophora japonica in the yard. According to the old people in rural areas, this is because the word Sophora japonica is composed of "wood" and "ghost".
People think that planting Sophora japonica in the yard is likely to attract ghosts, which is a very unlucky symbol, so people will not plant Sophora japonica in the yard.
2. Paulownia tree
Paulownia, like Sophora japonica, is a common tree in northern China. Like Sophora japonica, people plant paulownia trees outside the courtyard, not inside.
People don't plant paulownia trees in the yard because the trunks and branches of paulownia trees look strong, but they are actually hollow and weak.
When it is windy and rainy in summer, the branches of paulownia trees are easily blown off the roof by the wind, damaging the roof, thus posing a threat to residents, so people will not plant paulownia trees in the yard.
3, apricot tree
Apricot is the most common fruit tree in the north, and it is also common in our apricot garden, but no one has planted apricot trees in the yard.
This is because the word "apricot" in apricot trees is homophonic with "auspicious". Rural people think that planting apricot trees in the yard will bring them misfortune, so almost no one will plant apricot trees in the yard.
4.peach trees
Peach trees, like apricot trees, are common trees in the north. March is the month when peach trees bloom every year, so people also call March the Peach Month.
Planting peach trees not only has high ornamental value, but also has high economic value, but people don't plant peach trees in the yard because people think that planting peach trees means attracting peach blossoms.
For married women, they are most afraid of their husbands having good luck, so in order to make their marriage last longer, women will definitely not plant this "time bomb" at home.
5. pear tree
We are the "hometown of pears", so pear trees are the most common here, but we can't see the shadow of pear trees in the village, especially when people don't grow pear trees at home.
This is because the word "pear" on the pear tree is homophonic with the word "Li". People think that planting pear trees at home implies family separation, which is the last thing people want to see.
So people don't plant pear trees in the yard. Except for pear trees, Li and Li in plum trees are homophonic, so plum trees will not be planted in the yard.
The above is the rural saying that "five trees enter the house, and the poor family is defeated." Do you know which trees can't be planted in the yard?
