Chinese culture is broad and profound, has a long history, and is all-encompassing, and one of the branches is the colloquialism. In life, everyone will hear some sayings to a greater or lesser extent, many of which have been passed down by word of mouth by generation after generation of people. Many sayings come from life, act on life, it involves a wide range of fields, there are such a part of the sayings, is related to "food, clothing, housing" in the "living", such as today's sentence: "Five trees into the house, poor people lose"
The literal meaning of this saying is not difficult to understand, the second half of many sayings, in order to enhance the warning effect, will use exaggerated performance techniques, although planting these five kinds of trees in the house does not necessarily lead to such serious consequences as "poor people and families", but planting these five kinds of trees in the house is considered to be bad.
1~3, mulberry, willow, poplar
There is also a saying, called "do not plant mulberry before, do not plant willows in the back, and do not plant ghosts in the middle to clap their hands (poplar trees)", which refers to mulberry trees, willow trees and poplar trees, which are not suitable for planting in the house. Why?
Let's start with mulberry trees. The ancients in daily production and life, pay great attention to the meaning of the good, which is also the ancients of a good life of a yearning, for this reason, the ancients will use more good harmonics in daily production and life, and avoid some bad harmonics. Such examples abound in life, and they will not be repeated here. From the allegorical point of view of the harmonics, the "mulberry" and "mourning" and "wounding" harmonics of mulberry trees are considered unlucky.
Let's talk about willows. As early as the "Book of Poetry", it was recorded that "in the past I was in the past, and the willow was yiyi." Coupled with the harmonic sound of "willow" and "stay", so the willow tree was relocated by the ancient rioters, pinning on the meaning of retention and farewell, and throughout the ages, the willow tree has become one of the most beautiful artistic conceptions in the poet's pen. "Qingqing yishu is sad and has been in the hatred of several people." The willow tree represents parting and will create a sad situation, however, life is realistic, not poetry, and people should face life positively and optimistically, so the ancients believed that willow trees should not be planted in the courtyard, so as not to touch the scenery.
In addition, every spring, the willows fly, which will affect people's breathing environment, especially people with allergies and rhinitis at home. Willow branches hanging down, will give people a depressed psychological illusion, willow branches like human hair, reflection in the moonlight, and even may frighten people, willow trees are suitable for planting on the edge of the pond, planted in the courtyard, it is not so full of life, the overall mentality of the willow tree is slender and graceful, with a feminine atmosphere, and some people think that the yin is too heavy to be planted in the Yang house.
After saying poplars. In the street, poplar trees have an ugly and even frightening nickname: "ghost clapping hands", why are poplar trees called ghost clapping hands? It turns out that the trunk of the poplar tree is tall, the tree is large and beckons, in addition, the leaves of the poplar tree are very large, under the blowing of the wind, the leaves of the poplar tree slap each other, emitting a "sa ~ sa ~ sa ~ " sound, so people call the poplar tree "ghost clapping"
Poplars are not suitable for planting in gardens for two reasons. First, poplar trees are too tall, in feng shui, is considered to be "a single branch", "lone peak lone wolf", is a bad feng shui pattern, tall trees are easy to suffer from thunder, thunderstorm weather has safety hazards, trees are tall and the root system is developed, in the case of low ancient building level, affecting the stability of the foundation, but also easy to cause the collapse of the house. Second, poplar trees are easy to make strange noises and form noise, especially when the night black wind is high and everything enters the dreamland, so poplar trees are easy to affect sleep health and are not suitable for planting in the courtyard.
4. Pear tree
Why is it not suitable to plant pear trees in the garden? "Lotus seed is bitter in the heart, and the pear is sour in the abdomen", one of the reasons is because the word "pear" is harmonious with the "departure", which represents separation and is unlucky.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, pear blossoms.
Judging from the color of the pear blossoms, the color of many pear blossoms belongs to white, and the white flowers are considered unlucky in the eyes of the ancients, and white flowers are only used when they are sacrificed.
Judging from the smell of pear blossoms, the aroma of pear blossoms is very strong and intense, many people are not accustomed to this smell, and even some people will feel that it is a fishy smell.
From the point of view of the flowering period of the pear blossom, the flowering period of the pear blossom is relatively long, can reach three months, the amount of pear blossoms is also large, it is full of pear blossoms, the positive flowering period of the pear blossoms almost includes the entire spring, and once it encounters wind and rain, the pear blossoms will fall, "the pear blossoms are spring again, full of residual sun", the pear blossoms are full of ground, it is difficult to clean up.
In addition, pear blossoms belong to fruit trees, easy to attract mosquitoes, snakes and rats, for various reasons, the ancients thought that the garden, not suitable for planting pear blossoms.
5. Locust tree
From the glyph, the "locust" character in the "locust tree" has a "ghost" character, so it is believed that the yin qi of the locust tree is relatively heavy and is not suitable for planting in the Yang house. In addition, locust trees are prone to infestation, and ancient house buildings, using more wooden structures, locust trees caused by insect pests, may also erode into the house. Locust trees are easy to provoke a kind of insect, this insect will spit silk, and then hang themselves on the branches of the locust tree, known as "hanging ghosts", is also a symbol of inauspiciousness, therefore, the ancients believed that it is not appropriate to plant locust trees in the courtyard.
The above is the five trees in "Five Trees Enter the House, Poor Families Lose", namely: "Mulberry, Willow, Poplar, Pear and Locust", do you think it makes sense? Comments are welcome.
