Why did the old man say that the trees at the entrance to the village and in front of the grave could not be cut down? Where else in the village can't you cut down trees?
Sophora japonica is generally planted at the entrance of the village, and cypress is generally planted at the grave.
Then the locust trees at the entrance of the village are usually very big. I remember that the trees at the entrance of a village in Guizhou are even more precious. It is a golden nanmu.
So why do villagers plant trees in front of graves and at the entrance to villages? What's the point? Then why can't trees in these places be cut down? Where else can't you cut down trees?
1. There is an old saying in the countryside that "three trees cannot be cut down, and the rich are scattered, and the poor are accompanied."
With the development of the times, people have gradually forgotten which three trees are.
Some people will ask whether locust trees, willow trees and peach trees are actually not?
In fact, these three trees are not specific to which tree species, but trees that grow in those three environments cannot be cut down, such as trees that grow at the entrance of the village and trees in front of the grave.
Of course, many times, when we say three trees, we don't mean those three places, there are many places. People in China like to use quantifiers like three and seven.
For example, in a threesome, you must have a teacher and think twice before you act.
These three are just one culture of China people.
So just because three trees can't be cut doesn't mean that only those three places can't be cut.
Because of regional differences, there are no trees that can't be cut down anywhere except at the entrance to the village and in front of the grave, and other trees that can't be cut down are also different.
Take the plain area for example, because there are fewer trees, there will be more trees that cannot be cut down compared with the mountainous area.
Trees on both sides of the river in plain areas cannot be cut down, because cutting will cause soil erosion.
Of course, trees that enjoy the cool can't be cut down, otherwise they can only bask in the sun in summer.
There are many trees in mountainous and hilly areas, so trees are not so rare.
In addition to the trees at the entrance to the village and in front of the grave, trees in schools and ancestral halls cannot be cut down.
Because many of these trees are feng shui trees, rural people are very concerned about them.
Second, to sum up, these three kinds of trees can't be cut down in rural areas: Feng Shui tree, landscape tree and closed tree.
1, Feng Shui trees cannot be cut down.
What is a Feng Shui tree? Fengshui tree is what the ancients said can affect the luck of future generations.
For example, the trees in front of the grave and at the entrance of the village are what we call Feng Shui trees.
If the trees at the entrance of the village are cut down, it will lead to instability in the village. This is people's understanding of the trees at the entrance to the village.
However, the tree in front of the grave may affect the fortune of a family. If it is cut down, it may lead to the destruction of the fortune of the descendants of the grave owner, so the tree in front of the grave cannot be cut down.
Of course, this is not unreasonable. The effect of tree wind in front of the grave can consolidate soil and store water. If it is cut down, it may lead to the collapse of the tomb and the ancestors can't rest in peace.
Second, landscape trees cannot be cut down.
Landscape tree is the representative of a village or a city.
For example, the golden nanmu tree in a village in Guizhou is priceless, but it is the symbol of this village, so it cannot be cut down.
In addition, Huangshan also has welcoming pine. It can be said that this tree is the most famous tree, and it can also be said that a tree directly drives the GDP growth of Huangshan Mountain.
There is also the Dahongpao tree in Wuyishan, which is directly protected. After all, this tree, as a representative of Wuyi Mountain, spent 100 million yuan on insurance alone.
So the ornamental value of these trees is directly higher than their cutting value, and we can't cut down this landscape tree.
Third, trees that are forbidden to be cut down cannot be cut down.
What is the prohibition of planting trees? I don't think many people know.
For example, in Daxing 'anling Mountains, the state cannot cut down these trees. These trees are called closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation.
These trees are directly protected by national laws. If these trees are cut down blindly, once caught, they will be directly punished by law.
Also, we can't cut down trees used for sand fixation in desert countries, because these trees are used for sand fixation and are protected by national laws. If individuals cut down at will, the law will directly punish you.
In my opinion, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.
Trees have a long growth cycle. If it is not necessary to cut down trees, then we should not cut them down. The value of trees is far more than what we see.
As the saying goes, "it is good to enjoy the cool under a big tree." Sometimes a tree can accompany our generations to grow up. I think its significance has surpassed the value of things, and it has some spiritual inheritance and sustenance.
"Our predecessors planted trees, while our descendants enjoyed the cool", so we should not live up to our predecessors' kindness and cut down trees at will.
Man and nature are interdependent. Whether it is a landscape tree, a feng shui tree, a landscape tree or an ordinary tree, don't cut it down at will.
