The old man often said, "If you don't grow apricots at home, no one will prosper." Why do you say that?

Anyone who has been to the countryside knows that some fruit trees will be planted in front of and behind every household. For example: peach trees, apricot trees, apple trees, etc. One is to beautify the environment, the other is to facilitate their own eating. However, there is also an old saying in rural areas that "apricot trees are not prosperous if they are not planted at home". The literal meaning of this sentence is that apricot trees should not be planted around the house or in the yard, otherwise, when apricot trees grow vigorously, people at home will not prosper. In short, planting apricot trees is not good for families. Why is there such a statement in rural areas? Does this statement make sense?

1. Understanding from a health perspective

As the saying goes, "peach fills people, apricot hurts people, and people bury plum trees", although apricot is a fruit that most people can eat. But don't eat too much, or you will easily get angry and hurt your bones and muscles. Apricot pulp is spicy, sweet and sour, and contains a small amount of toxic substances. Apricot meat contains a small amount of hydrocyanic acid, which is easy to cause poisoning and should not be eaten raw in large quantities. Apricots can't be eaten on an empty stomach, and you can't drink cold water after eating, otherwise it will do more harm to your stomach. In addition, pregnant women, young children and diabetics should not eat apricots or apricot products. The average person should take 3-5 tablets a day.

2. From the perspective of morality and ethics.

In the past, people were reluctant to plant apricot trees in the yard for fear of committing peach blossom robbery. Everyone knows that there is a word called affair. If a married woman is having an affair, people will say she is having an affair. Although the scenery of red apricots is really beautiful, with this idiom, people are still very taboo about planting apricot trees.

Therefore, there is no basis for the rural elderly to say that "people are not rich if they don't grow apricots at home". Whether apricot trees are planted or not has nothing to do with whether the family is rich or not. Just remind us to eat less apricots and keep the moral bottom line. Today, this old saying is out of date and no longer applies.
