For houses with courtyards, people always like to plant some trees in the yard, and every spring and summer, the trees are shady, which can not only purify the air, but also make the yard look vibrant. However, not all trees can be planted in the yard, as the old saying goes: "See three trees in the courtyard, it is not expensive and blessed", "three trees" refers to which three kinds of trees?
Where can I not plant trees in the yard?
First, the tree does not block the door
For a house, the location of the gate is the most important, whether it is outside the door or inside the door, the position facing the gate can not be "planted". Because the door is an air port, it is a gate for the flow of air in and out, just like the nose or mouth of people breathing. If the tree is facing the door, it is like a pimple growing in the nose, which will affect the flow of air in and out.
As the old saying goes: "Dead trees are doors, widows and orphans are grandchildren", "Big trees press the door, the house has no descendants", "Peach apricots in front of the door, greedy flowers and wine", "Dead trees in front of the door, lost money and fallen on the road", "There is an obstacle in front of the door, the future is uncertain", etc., all show that the position of the gate can not be planted, whether outside the door or inside the door, it is the same.
Second, the soil level does not plant trees
Any house has a central point, and after having a central point, there can be a concept of orientation. Each orientation has different attributes, such as: the east is the earthquake wood, the west is the genus gold, the south is the fire, the north is the kan water, the northwest is the dry gold, the southwest is the Kun soil, the southeast is the Sunda wood, and the northeast is the Gen genus soil.
Trees are also wood, wood can suppress the soil, so the soil level does not plant trees, that is, southwest and northeast, of course, trees can also be planted in the middle. Different locations represent different people and things, such as southwest Weikun, if there is a big tree in this position, it will affect the old mother or hostess in the family.
The northeast is Gun, which corresponds to the younger son of the family, so planting trees in this position affects the younger son. As the saying goes: "The northwest sees the stove burning the heavenly gate", it is because the northwest is dry, the dry is gold and afraid of fire, and the fire in this position affects the old father or the male master of the family, which is called "burning the heavenly gate".
Third, do not plant trees with bad meanings
As the saying goes: "Five trees enter the house, people are poor and lose", "before the mulberry is not planted, after the willow is not planted, the yard is not planted random clapping", the so-called five trees refer to "pine, cypress, pear, mulberry, locust". And "random clapping" refers to poplar trees, because the leaves of poplar trees are relatively large, and when they are blown by the wind at night, they will make a "whooshing" sound, just like clapping their hands.
Of course, this is just a folk saying, in fact, the ancients often planted mulberry trees and catalpa trees in the west of the house, just as the so-called "East Willow West Mulberry, into the benefit of cattle and sheep", and "Mulberry" has become synonymous with the hometown. For example, in the Book of Poetry, it is said: "Wei Sang and Zi will be respectfully stopped; Jing Zhan bandit father, Jing Yi bandit mother."
The locust tree is even more incredible, the previous "locust house" refers to the mansion where the "three dukes" live, and the ranking of "three dukes" is the highest ideal of ancient scholars. Therefore, the former word "槐" was often associated with official positions. For example, "Huai Ding" is "Three Gongs", "Huai Qing" is the Three Gongs and Nine Qings, and the students go to the exam to be called "Stepping on the Acacia".
Therefore, the locust tree is a relatively noble tree species, which means fame and wealth. Since the ancient imperial examination was in autumn, it was also called "Locust Autumn". Because locust and mulberry trees have bad names, they are generally not planted in the yard. In addition, no matter what trees are planted in the yard, they should not be higher than the roof. As the saying goes: "The tree is pressed to the top, and the people and wealth are empty", which is what it means.
See three trees in the courtyard, not expensive and blessed, which three kinds of trees are referred to?
First, laurel trees
Laurel is a tree species with a beautiful meaning, coupled with its harmonic pronunciation of "expensive", which has the meaning of wealth. Therefore, people like to plant laurel trees in the garden. Legend has it that there is a large laurel tree in the Moon Palace, and Wu Gang is cutting down the tree every day, but this laurel tree will be closed immediately after it is cut down, so the Moon Palace is also known as the "Gui Palace".
And "in the middle of the moon to cut the laurel" and "toad palace folding laurel" are derived from this, because the laurel tree is connected to the moon palace, and the old man of the moon is in charge of marriage, so the osmanthus is also known as "the old man of the moon in the flower", which means love and marriage. In addition, the laurel tree is also known as the "length of a hundred medicines", for example, in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is said that the laurel tree "nourishes the spirit, and 'color', long-term service is light and ageless, and the face is bright".
Autumn is the season of laurel blossoms, but also the ancient students of the exam time, so people use "folding laurel" to compare to winning the championship dengke, and today's "folding laurel" also represents the first place in the exam, so the laurel tree means that the future is bright. As Li Bai said: "If you want to fold the laurel in the middle of the moon, hold the salary of the cold."
Second, the pomegranate tree
Whenever the pomegranate blossoms, it is the May of the lunar calendar, so May is also called "Durian Moon". The color of the pomegranate flower is red, which is an auspicious color, and when the fruit of the pomegranate is ripe, it is like a tree full of red lanterns. More importantly, there are many seeds of pomegranates, which means that there are many children and many blessings.
Therefore, the ancients called the pomegranate: "a thousand rooms are the same, a thousand children are one", so when people get married, they will cut the peel of the pomegranate and put it on the desk, which means that the children and grandchildren will prosper. As the saying goes: "East durian gold, tomato silver", which means that it is better to plant pomegranates in the east of the courtyard, which is a beautiful meaning.
3. Ginkgo biloba tree
The biggest feature of the ginkgo tree is that it is extremely long-lived, and it can even live for thousands of years without withering, so people plant the ginkgo tree in the yard, which means health and longevity. The leaves of the ginkgo tree turn golden yellow in autumn, so the ginkgo tree is also called the "golden tree". The autumn wind swept by, and the garden was full of golden leaves, just like the golden paving, which had the meaning of wealth.
Therefore, when people plant trees in the yard, they always have to look for some trees with good meanings. But no matter what kind of tree is planted, it cannot be too high, that is, it cannot be higher than the roof, nor can it be facing the gate, or planted in an inappropriate position.
