The implication of buttonwood and geomantic omen

People in China pay attention to geomantic omen, and think that plants also have good or bad luck. Therefore, the old people in the past were very particular about planting trees or flowers. When they were young, they often heard the old man say, "Plant three trees in front of the door, and the family will prosper for three generations", which means that planting a few trees in front of the door can bring good luck and the family will prosper more and more. Today, Bian Xiao recommends three kinds of "housekeeping trees" with festive significance. Planting a few trees in front of the door will make the town house prosperous.

1, buttonwood

Tall and unyielding, the crown covers the sky, like an umbrella, sheltering from the wind and rain, attracting unpredictable happiness.

There is also a cloud in the old saying: good birds choose wood to live in.

Phoenix, the king of birds, lives in a buttonwood tree. Of course, this is an ancient legend, which only represents a beautiful symbolic meaning, but many people also attach great importance to this meaning, don't they?

Buttonwood is a deciduous tree, which is very tall and has a long life span, and can live for more than 100 years.

In particular, the mature buttonwood tree is very imposing, standing in front of the house like two guards made of steel, meaning to protect the family and the hospital.

2. Jujube tree

There are no persimmons, all over the house, and spring comes later. It is as hard as stone, prompting people to start early, and happiness is the premise.

Jujube is also a beautiful plant. Everything says "sooner rather than later". For example, when you get married and have children, you have to set a date of "early birth", so jujube has also been given the meaning of "good luck" in folk culture.

Jujube is a small deciduous tree, with a height of 10 m, purplish red branches and very hard wood.

The thicker jujube tree is very valuable, and the furniture made of it is precious. Jujube trees don't attract insects, and they are very good.

Mature jujube trees can bear many red dates every year. As long as the fertilizer is sufficient, the taste of red dates is very sweet.

3. Ginkgo tree

It is a noble thing, with yellow leaves like gold, and gold everywhere like wealth, which symbolizes that gold falls all over the house.

We can often see ginkgo trees, which grow slowly but have a very long life.

In an ancient temple in Xi 'an, a ginkgo tree planted thousands of years ago is still preserved, which is said to have been planted by Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong.

It can be seen that its longevity is long, so in folk culture, ginkgo tree is also a symbol of longevity.

Planting ginkgo trees in front of the house can build a town house. Because it blooms at night, people can't see it, and it hides mysterious power. Most of the seals of town houses are carved with ginkgo wood.

According to the tradition in China, pine, cypress and locust can't be planted in front of the house and in the yard. This is a big no-no. Suitable tree species include persimmon, pomegranate and chestnut.

When many people pay attention to geomantic omen, they will pay more attention to the geomantic omen inside the house. In fact, geomantic omen outside the house is as important as geomantic omen inside the house, not only the decoration at home, but also the geographical location and surrounding environment are very important to the owner of the house.
