I often hear old people talking about "ghost trees" and "ghost trees". I want to know what kind of trees there are? Why are they called "ghost trees"?

Feng Shui taboos: Do not plant mulberries in the front, do not plant willows in the back, and do not plant ghosts clapping in the middle. The ghost clapping his fingers is the poplar tree.

Don’t plant mulberry trees in front of your house; this is because mulberry trees are homophones for mourning, and it is definitely unlucky to see mulberry trees when you go out.

If you don’t plant willow at the back, the willow tree will not bear seeds, and willow is homophonic with “liu”. If you plant it behind the house, you won’t be able to keep any descendants, which is of course a big taboo. Moreover, willow branches are often used as "mourning sticks" and "soul-calling flags" during funerals. Of course, if they are planted in the yard of a home, people will not think too much about it!

Ghost clapping refers to poplar trees. When the wind blows, they will make a clattering sound, just like ghost clapping. Superstitious people believe that it will attract ghosts!

There is a similar saying in Shandong. The first two sentences are the same, and the latter sentence becomes "No executioner will be planted in the courtyard."

The executioner pointed at the peach tree. The peach fruits and peach blossoms were all blood-red. Folks believed that the blood-red color of peach trees could easily attract evil spirits, so it was taboo to plant peach trees in the courtyard.

In other places, it is forbidden to plant peach trees because peach has the same pronunciation as fleeing. In the era of war and chaos, once people associated peach trees with fleeing from famine, naturally no one was willing to plant peach blossoms in their yards.

It is taboo to plant cypress trees in many places because cypresses are trees on tombs, graves are shady houses, and residences are yang houses. They are also considered taboo in some places.

Trees that are not suitable for planting in the courtyard according to Feng Shui:

Don’t plant elms on the left, and don’t plant peaches on the right. Don't plant mulberries in front, don't plant willows in the back, don't plant poplars in the middle of the yard, don't plant flowerheads in the courtyard. There is also a saying in Beijing: Mulberry, pine, cypress, pear, and locust tree cannot be like a Yangzhai.
