Excuse me, why do so many people in rural areas have bamboo at their doorsteps?

Although our area is not the best area to plant bamboo, when people build a house, they will plant a few bamboo trees in front of the door, or draw some bamboo trees on the back of the shadow, which is what people often say. "Plant bamboo in front of your door, and your descendants will enjoy happiness." So, can planting bamboo in front of your door really bring happiness to your children and grandchildren?

This has gradually spread to every household now. It is the custom to burn fireworks and firecrackers, and there is also the custom of New Year's Eve with the sound of firecrackers.
