Good luck is people's good wishes for life. There are too many joys and sorrows in the world, and nine times out of ten, life is short, so after years of tempering, people will find that reunion with their families is the best. "I wish people a long time and a thousand miles of beauty."

Tao Te Ching says, "Man should follow the laws of the earth, the earth should follow the laws of the sky, and the sky should follow the laws of nature." In the teaching of saints, people should follow the heaven, such as planting the autumn harvest in spring and resting at sunrise, leaving room for everything. In the long process of people's exploration of heaven, a relatively mysterious knowledge-Feng Shui has emerged.

Geomantic omen, also known as geography, is similar to today's geological exploration, but the ancients did not have a set of systematic scientific theories as the support, and only relied on the accumulation of experience and the explanation from generation to generation, and finally formed this science. The study of geomantic omen is related to the influence of natural environment on the rise and fall of families, personal luck and even national destiny (mapping Long Mai), so it has a lofty position since ancient times. Nowadays, although the concept of believing in science has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, there are still many people who believe in Feng Shui and apply it to their lives.

Although ordinary people know little about geomantic omen, some popular sayings contain exquisite geomantic omen. For example, there is a saying that "three trees in front of the door make the family rich for three generations", which is about the relationship between planting trees at the door and family development. Trees are often planted in front of the farmhouse. There are many natural things in planting trees. For example, you can't just plant a tree in the yard, because it's unlucky to be "sleepy" with wood in your mouth; There is also a saying that "five trees enter the house, and the poor family is defeated", which means that pine, cypress, mulberry, pear and locust cannot be planted at home. So what do the three trees mentioned in "There are three trees in front of the door" actually mean? Can you really be rich for three generations after planting? The expert said that he would not suffer anyway.
▲ Pomegranate tree with pomegranate.
The first kind, pomegranate tree. Pomegranate is a tree species that Zhang Qian brought back to the Central Plains from the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty. Because of its red appearance, sweet and juicy meat, it is suitable for planting in China and easy to manage and survive, so it is widely loved by the people. The fiery red color of pomegranate symbolizes auspiciousness. We know that China people have a persistent love for red since ancient times, because red belongs to fire virtue in the five elements of Yin and Yang, symbolizing enthusiasm, prosperity and hope.
▲ People drill wood for fire.
From the first contact of primitive people with fire, fire became an opportunity for human beings to get rid of barbarism. With the development of human civilization, the reverence for fire was implanted into the bone marrow by ancestors. Although there is no such religious organization as Zoroastrianism in China, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty all advocated fire morality, and all three emperors wore lux robes. Now, the red flag is flying in New China, which is a blessing for thousands of families.

Another characteristic of pomegranate is that it has many seeds. Because "seed" leads to "seed", pomegranate is endowed with the meaning of having many children and grandchildren. You know, in ancient times, having children was a big deal. At that time, the infant mortality rate was high, the average life expectancy was less than 40 years, and sometimes there were natural and man-made disasters, so if you want to carry on the family line, you must have many children and grandchildren. In ancient times, there was no such thing as family planning On the contrary, there is a time limit for women to get married, ranging from 18 to 16. If women can't have children, most of them will be expelled from their homes, and the outcome will be bleak. Therefore, it is believed that planting pomegranate trees at home can bless the prosperity and longevity of future generations.
In addition, the pomegranate tree has a special menu, which is easy to feed and does not need much care. Moreover, the pomegranate itself has high nutritional value and medicinal value, and is suitable for all ages. Since there are so many benefits, people naturally have no reason not to plant pomegranate trees at home.
▲ Persimmon tree full of persimmons
The second is persimmon tree. Its appearance is as pleasing as pomegranate tree, especially when persimmon is ripe, hanging on the tree like a red lantern is enough to eliminate all bad luck and make people full of hope for the future from the bottom of their hearts. "Persimmon" means "things", and the persimmon fruit is round and looks like wishful thinking, so the persimmon tree has a beautiful meaning of "all the best". Persimmons were planted in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Persimmon fruit is delicious and can satisfy hunger, so it will also become life-saving food in famine years. Persimmons can clear away heat and moisten the lungs, promote fluid production to quench thirst, strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, so it is also a good choice to plant persimmon trees in front of your house.
▲ osmanthus trees full of osmanthus flowers
The third kind is osmanthus tree. "Gui" means "Gui", so planting osmanthus trees at home represents auspiciousness, wealth and happiness, especially at the beginning of the year, which is a good sign. It is said that osmanthus trees have a special texture and can be used as the patron saint of the family when planted at home. In addition, sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, and the sweet-scented osmanthus and green leaves set each other off, and the beautiful scenery is enough to make people linger. Jingui, Yin Gui and Dangui have their own medicinal values, and the five elements correspond to earth, gold and fire respectively, each with its own emphasis.

You can't believe all the feng shui, but it's good to pay a little attention, and there is no harm. Just like several kinds of trees suitable for planting in front of hospitals in Feng Shui, it is very reasonable to explain them only from a scientific point of view. Therefore, we should treat some traditional views with dialectical eyes, and we should not be superstitious or completely deny them.
