Old people often say, "Sangzao, Dulihuai, it is not suitable to enter the house." Do you know what it means? Come and see!

It must be said that the world today is full of wonders.

All kinds of things happen in endlessly, especially modern people’s requirements for housing are all kinds of strange. Even if it is a high-rise building now, the residents must face north and south, have good lighting, have an auspicious number of floors, etc.

But before the reform and opening up, there were not so many high-rise buildings. Most of them were courtyard houses, villages, and factories.

But even low-rise houses have different requirements, especially for Feng Shui.

It contains many feng shui sayings about house construction, such as "Afraid of the green dragon thousands of feet high, only afraid of the white tiger looking up", "Sang Zao Du Li Huai, it is not suitable to enter the house" and so on.

The former may be less heard, but the latter is a familiar saying in many rural families.

In that era, food was mostly in short supply, so almost every household did not have much surplus food. Even if there was a lot of food, it could only be taken out on special days, but it could not stop people's thinking at that time. Although they did not eat much, they slowly turned their attention to the land near the eaves. Based on the positive thinking that as long as there was land, no one would starve to death. The great working people planted mulberry trees, walnut trees, Almond trees, pear trees, citrus trees and more!

But this kind of planting is also very particular. After all, people at that time were mostly superstitious, so planting should not be done randomly. You have to ask the opinions of the elderly. This older generation has already had a lot of experience in this area. , all warned the younger generation that "mulberry trees, eucommia trees, jujube trees, locust trees, plum trees, and pear trees" should not be planted near their homes.

1. Date tree: Attracts mosquitoes

In fact, date trees were also very popular in ancient times. After all, who doesn’t like to see a bumper harvest as soon as they leave home! But here’s the problem. Everyone knows that this thing is edible, not to mention birds, insects, and mosquitoes caused by dates falling to the ground and rotting, which may also bring diseases. No one likes trouble, so in ancient times people used Jujube trees are planted in suitable places close to home to avoid these problems.

2. Mulberry trees, locust trees, and eucommia trees: different meanings

In fact, these three types of trees, mulberry trees, locust trees, and eucommia trees, are very important to us now and in the past. Very beneficial.

I believe anyone who has stayed in the countryside for a few years will know that the mulberry tree is full of treasures, and the leaves of the mulberry tree can only be used to raise silkworms.

The fruits of the mulberry tree are edible, but the tongue, palms, and excrement may turn purple! The main reason why people are reluctant to plant it in their homes is that the word mulberry in the mulberry tree has the same sound as "mourning", so it makes people feel unlucky.

In fact, the reason why most people are unwilling to plant a locust tree near their home is that it is said that this locust tree is actually the habitat of ghosts, which means it attracts ghosts.

In that era, this alone was enough for most people to avoid seeing it, not to mention that the word Sophora japonica could be separated into "wood ghost" or "twilight return", so it was also Few people plant locust trees near their homes.

In fact, part of the reason why we are reluctant to plant Eucommia trees is that they are inedible and most of their functions are medicinal. However, the trees are too tall to be used as landscape trees in our homes. After all, an adult Eucommia tree can It is 20 meters high. In the era before high-rise buildings, 20 meters was out of reach, not to mention the consequences if the trees withered and collapsed in the future.

No matter from which aspect, Eucommia ulmoides trees are not suitable for planting at the door of the home.

3. Plum tree, pear tree: homophonic for "Li"

In fact, in ancient times, people mostly respected things with homophonic sounds, such as "Jujube" giving birth to noble children, etc. It is not difficult to see that people at that time attached great importance to some homophonic sounds.

It is difficult to get married, let alone plant some trees next to the house that may damage the feng shui.

So at that time, people were not very fond of pear trees and plum trees. Both pears and plums are homophones for "li", so most of them chose to plant them one or two fields away from home. superior.

I can see it at home, so the fruit will not be picked by others when it is ripe.

Summary:

Although not many people now mention the saying that "mulberry, jujube, and plum blossoms are not suitable for entering the house", after all, most people now begin to believe in science. Yes, most of the things in the past are preserved, but this does not delay us from learning more about traditional Chinese culture.

Even though many people are beginning to forget these common sayings now, it made sense since they could be passed down by so many people at that time.

In fact, most young people now choose to live in the city, and occasionally return to the countryside because of their parents. Maybe these sayings will gradually disappear in more than ten years.

But some memories will be firmly remembered by people.
