As the saying goes, "Don't plant mulberry before, don't plant willow after", and "ghosts clap their hands" (also known as "executioner") in the yard. Here "mulberry" refers to mulberry and "willow" refers to willow. Mulberry trees are not planted in front of the hospital because "Mulberry" and "Mourning" are homonyms, and it is unlucky to go out to see Mulberry (Mourning). There are different opinions about not planting willows in the future. One is related to the funeral of the deceased. Because both the "mourning staff" and the "evocation flag" are made of willows, willows should be planted behind the grave as "cash cow" and "tomb tree". Therefore, willow trees are also easily considered as funerals, which is unlucky; "The other is that willows don't seed. If you plant it behind the house or in the yard, you are afraid of being hurt, and you feel that this family will have no children and descendants. "Clap your hands refers to poplar. When the wind blows, poplar leaves crash like "ghosts clap their hands". Poplar trees planted in the yard are also afraid of attracting ghosts, which is unlucky. There are similar popular letters in Linqing, Shandong Province. If we plant mulberry trees first, then willow trees, we will lose the population and leave no offspring. "Hangman" refers to peach trees. Because peach blossoms, peach branches and peaches are blood red, monsters are willing to live on peach trees, so they dare not plant them in the yard. In Jiaoxian area, peach trees can only be planted in the backyard, but not in the front yard. It is generally believed that there are evil spirits on peach trees. If planted in the front yard and rooted in the house, people will worry about their lives. Peach trees are also prohibited in Fangcheng, Henan Province. It is generally believed that peach trees have magical powers and are often used to ward off evil spirits. Whoever plants peach trees will be troubled. It is also said that the owner of the peach tree fled and begged. This is because "peach" and "escape" are homophonic, and there is a folk saying that "there is a peach in front of the door, you can't beg", which is also related to homophonic.
So peach trees ward off evil spirits, not peach trees. The two are completely different and many people often misunderstand them.
