In film and television dramas or other works of art, you can often see the role of Mr. Feng Shui appear, no matter how big the rich merchants and dignitaries, they must carefully accompany Mr. Feng Shui behind him, and they must answer questions, for fear of offending the master. This is very much like looking at the disease, if the feng shui master is a doctor, then the master's family is the patient's family, and the "sick" is not the patient, but the house.
In ancient times, feng shui masters were afraid that they were comparable to demolition teams, and with just one sentence, they could easily make the master dismantle the house and cut down the trees, fill in the wells and build the walls. Therefore, in ancient times, there was such a saying: "Five trees enter the house, and the poor family is defeated." The five trees here refer to the five kinds of trees, which five kinds of trees can have such power? Is this statement true? Let's look down.
Pine cypress banyan tree
First of all, the reason why pine cypress was not suitable for planting in the family home in ancient times is actually a matter of habit. If you go to the cemetery to visit your family or visit the martyrs' cemetery during the Qing Ming Dynasty, you may have paid attention to the surrounding trees, most of which are planted pines. This point has been passed down to this day, that is, the pine cypress is usually planted in the shade of the house, that is, next to the grave, taking the meaning of the evergreen pine cypress.
Because the pine tree is extremely old and the fourth grade is evergreen, it symbolizes the eternal survival of the spirit of the deceased, and its descendants can continue to live forever. In addition, these two trees are inherently hardy and drought-tolerant and do not require frequent care. After the next, save time and effort. In this way, it seems that trees that are so suitable for cemeteries are indeed not suitable for planting at home, and it is too unlucky to plant the same trees in yang houses and yin houses.
The evergreen banyan tree is also a common tree in the cemetery, and the reason for planting is similar to the pine above. But in addition to the unsolvable cause of habituation, there is also an objective reason for not being suitable for planting in the home.
Because the root system of the banyan tree is developed, it will bulge out of the ground with growth, causing the ground to be uneven, and even threatening the house from the foundation, causing safety hazards.
Willow and poplar trees
In fact, the willow tree is still very popular with the ancients, and it has a special meaning in itself. Many famous poems in history have mentioned willow trees. For example, the great poet Li Bai's "LaoLao Pavilion": "Where the world is sad, Laolao sends guest pavilions." The spring wind knows not to be bitter, and does not send wicker green. Liu Yuxi, who wrote "The Buried Room Inscription", also wrote: "The spring wind blows the wine flag outside the city, and pedestrians wave at sunset." Chang'an is strange on the infinite tree, only the weeping Yang pipe is separated. ”
Because of the special significance of the willow at the time of farewell, it is said that at that time, between the out of the city and the official road, or a small bridge or a small road, there were willow trees planted next to it. People who give away usually fold a wicker and tie it to the side of a horse's head for a distant pedestrian. Because the willow harmonic sound "stays", it expresses a feeling of reluctance.
In a different scenario, the same kind of tree, the status has completely changed. Because the willow character also has a harmonic "flow", it has the meaning of loss. Business people usually like to beg for money and hate the harmonic sound of this loss of wealth. Coupled with the fact that the willow tree itself does not blossom and does not bear fruit, this is even more unlucky for the ancients who valued heirs.
Poplar trees are often called willows along with willow trees, but they are hated for different reasons. Poplar trees, because of their own branch and leaf structure, when the leaves are dense to a certain extent. When the wind is blown, it always makes a loud noise, and there is a saying in the folk that this loud noise is called "ghost clapping". Under the influence of this obvious malicious naming method, it is natural that poplar trees are disliked.
From a scientific point of view, some poplar trees will produce a large number of poplars after the weather warms up every year because of their own reproductive needs. Falling on the skin will produce irritation, causing redness and itching, and the Yang Shu gathered in the corner is neither hygienic nor easy to cause fire. It is really not a tree suitable for planting at home.
Waitlist
Just as everyone's eating habits are different, there are several versions of the folklore of the Five Trees Not Entering the House. Most of the following types are taboos committed by some people because the names are not good, rather than the habits of the tree itself.
As the basic cash crop of the textile industry in the south, the value of mulberry trees is not below that of food crops to some extent. Although the sang character is consonant and mournful, it implies that it is not auspicious. However, in some villages where silkworms are reeled, all planted in front of the house and behind the house is mulberry trees. So it can be seen that between listening to auspiciousness and supporting the family, the ancients also had a materialist side.
The locust tree is a natural shade tree because of its dense foliage. But because of this, the ancients felt that it was yin and hindered people's yang. And because the right half of the character is a ghost character, it often appears as a monster character in ancient Zhiwei novels. Representative of the "Ghost of a Woman" series.
The pear tree in the last place can be described as a treasure all over the body. Not only is its fruit a popular fruit, but its own material is excellent, making it a commonly used wood for musical instruments, crafts and wooden furniture. Among them, the best of them, "Huanghuali" wood, has long been speculated at a sky-high price, becoming one of the special materials for display in the homes of high-ranking officials and celebrities. Unfortunately, because the pear characters are harmoniously separated, the meaning of separation is hidden, and they are disliked by the ancients and lose the opportunity to plant in the family home.
epilogue
The rich and powerful, in order to avoid disasters and avoid misfortune, do everything to the extreme. Ordinary people are satisfied to have a dark room. Regarding whether there are trees in the yard and what kind of trees, the perspectives of different classes of attention are also very different. The people who can afford to hire feng shui masters may be concerned about whether the pear tree will be unlucky; and the people who work hard every day think that when the pears are ripe, they can eat a lot, and if there is excess, they can also take it for some salt. If anyone told him that the pear tree was unlucky and advised him to cut it down, he was afraid that he would be scolded instead. It can be seen that the so-called taboo may be directly proportional to the relationship between status and wealth, but the relationship with ancient times or today is not so big.
