Say banyan trees are intolerant, right? According to the old man, banyan trees are generally not planted around the house, saying that banyan trees are not suitable for people. Is this correct? What is the basis?
The article mentioned that a foreign man planted a banyan tree in the yard and took good care of it. Later, the man got married. However, because the woman lives at home and has been ill, neither of them has given birth to a child. I don't know whether they invited a doctor or an expert. In short, they found that it was a banyan tree, and it was because of its jealousy that the hostess took away the care of her master. ...
So they moved the banyan tree a little farther away, and the hostess began to take care of it. The banyan tree slowly "accepted" its new owner. The hostess's health gradually improved, and later she gave birth to a healthy baby.
There are some other examples in this article to the effect that if plants are jealous, they will release some harmful and directional chemicals, which will endanger the health of people they hate.
Among them, the banyan tree is particularly jealous and can release powerful harmful substances. It is a very overbearing plant. ...
Perhaps this is the theoretical basis of "the banyan tree can't tolerate people".
In Guangdong and Guangxi, there is indeed a saying in Feng Shui that "banyan trees can't tolerate people". Some people say that it is because banyan trees have lush roots and strong water absorption ability, so they can't pump well water where there are banyan trees. Others say that this is for home use, and it is not suitable to put banyan bonsai indoors, which is particularly harmful to young people. There is no clear history, so they can only speculate:
First of all, people are frightened by the strong vitality of banyan trees. Zhou Qufei said in A Generation Beyond the Ridge that banyan trees "bear fruit at four seasons", "Birds embrace their children and parasitize other trees, so they can flourish", and their air roots hang down to the ground, "If they are strong, they will be sent or wrapped by them for a long time"-they are extremely easy to survive, absorb local flavor and grow outside their hosts. They never like things beyond their control. This is implied in the earliest flora "Vegetation in the South". Han Yan said that once the branches of banyan trees touch other trees next to them, they are "stuck", which is common in southerners, and it is not called "Ruimu". The tied branches were originally the symbol of Jirui, but unexpectedly, the locals expressed caution and suspicion. That's all.
Secondly, maybe this is just a word game that people play, and it is their explanation based on the pronunciation of the word "banyan" for no reason. If "banyan tree" directly means "accommodating people", it would be too creative, so they chose the opposite meaning. In some places, if the age mantissa of a family member is nine, planting leeks will bring bad luck to this member. This is the so-called "planting leeks without leaving nine".
