Rural areas are vast, and many people like to plant trees in front of and behind their houses. One is to enjoy the shade, and the other is to beautify the environment. When he grows up, he can still be a beam, make furniture, and even sell it for money. But among the people, there is a saying that "there are 5 trees in the house, and it is difficult for people to get rich in poor families". What exactly are these 5 trees? Why can't you plant it at home? Let's find out today.
Mulberry: homonym is unlucky
As we all know, the mulberry tree is a treasure. The leaves can raise silkworms, the fruits can be edible, and the roots can be used as medicine, and there are many benefits. But as the folk saying goes: "Don't plant mulberry in front, don't plant willows in the back, and don't plant ghosts in the middle to clap your hands." Why is that?
It turns out that "mulberry" is homophonic with "mourning". "Mourning" refers to death, which was extremely unlucky in the eyes of the ancients. Although apart from the homonym, there is nothing wrong with mulberry trees. However, superstition is common in feudal rural areas, and no one wants to take this risk at home with the mentality of "preferring to believe what they have".
Willow: Invite trouble and cause trouble
The common willow tree grows mostly near rivers and ponds, and is moist because of its water-loving nature. In addition, the root system is developed, which is easy to attract poisonous insects, and there are potential safety hazards. The catkins are flying, and it is easy to cause allergies and respiratory diseases. In the event of an open flame, it is more likely to cause a fire. Planted at home, there are many problems.
Moreover, the sound of "willow" and "flow" is close. The ancients believed that planting willows at home would make it easy to lose good fortune and fortune. The willow tree of the yin attribute is also easy to attract bad luck and bring disaster. To sum up, willow trees are naturally not suitable for planting at home.
Topol: Terrifying and disturbing
"Ghost clap", it is talking about poplar trees. The leaves of the aspen are wide and dense, and when the wind blows, it makes a loud noise, like the sound of clapping hands, so it is called.
Is it chilling to imagine that in the middle of the night, there is a sudden burst of "applause"? Too loud can affect sleep and damage physical and mental health. In spring, poplars are all over the sky, and allergies and fires are also coming. Although aspens are good, they should not be planted at home.
Apricot Tree: The Source of Evil?
As the saying goes: "Xingxing people are unlucky". It means that the apricot planted at home, the more lush it is, the more misfortune it will incur. The ancients believed that apricot trees would have a negative impact on family fortune and even lead to disasters, so it was not recommended to plant them.
"Peaches raise people, apricots hurt people, and dead people are buried under plum trees." This quote speaks to the characteristics of several fruits. Excessive consumption of apricots can cause headaches, dizziness, diarrhea and other discomforts. Apricot trees are planted at home, and I am afraid that children will climb the trees to "feast" when they are ripe, endangering their health. To avoid such a situation, it is better to eliminate planting altogether.
Locust Tree: Avoid it
The locust tree is heavy, and it is "wood + ghost" when it is dismantled, which is really ominous in the eyes of the ancients who taboo ghosts and gods. The caves in the old locust trees are more likely to attract small animals to chirp at night, making strange noises, which are very easy to frighten others. In order to avoid such horror, people prefer not to plant at home.
Epilogue:
These are 5 types of trees that should not be planted at home. Although there are superstitious elements in it, as the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors, even if it is placed in the present, it also has a certain reference significance. Planting trees is great, but when choosing a tree species, you may want to consider it to avoid planting the wrong tree and getting into trouble.
