What does the saying mean: "The trees in the courtyard lead to the corridor, if you are not defeated, you will perish." What does it mean? Does what you say make sense?

Chinese culture is a treasure of the world. In the process of production, they produced many vernacular words that we are now familiar with, which are well-meaning and easy to read. Today we look at this sentence: The courtyard tree leads to the corridor, if you are not defeated, you will die.

Literally explained, "If the trees in the courtyard lead to the porch, they will perish if they are not defeated" means: if there are too many trees in the yard that are too tall and extend directly to the porch without trimming, then the family will be in trouble. It must perish without decay.

This sentence has a certain truth. Building houses in rural areas has always been very particular. Among the people, it is generally believed that people live in a sunny house. If the trees in front of the porch are too high and too dense, blocking the sunlight, it will cause a heavy gloom in the house. The excess of Yin and the decline of Yang, an imbalance of Yin and Yang will be detrimental to the people living in the house, thus causing the downfall of the family. In addition, the ancients believed that large and ancient trees are generally prone to being attached to gods and ghosts, so they should not be cut down randomly, even the vines climbing on them, otherwise people will suffer disaster and their skin will peel off even if they are not dead. Naturally, the houses that people live in cannot be close to these gods and ghosts, so the trees in the yard should not be left too high or too big.

In addition, from a scientific point of view, the trees in the yard grow too close together, and the dark and humid environment can easily induce diseases. In the past, houses were relatively low, and there were too many trees in front of the house to provide shade and avoid the sun, which would make the house dark and damp, breeding bacteria. Especially in the south, the humid environment can easily induce skin, rheumatism and other diseases, affecting the health of the homeowner.

Trees are plants and naturally attract poisonous bees and insects. Wasp stings and poisonous insect bites may endanger human life, and large trees and dense forests are the favorites of bees and insects. Their presence will bring danger to people entering the house. In the past, thieves were rampant, so wealthy families naturally had to be on tight guard. If the branches extend to the porch, it is easy for thieves to climb up the tree and enter the house, which is not conducive to security.
