"Don't plant bamboos in front of your house, and don't plant trees behind your house." Why did our ancestors say this?

In the eyes of rural people, a house is very important. Only with it can one have a complete home. "No bamboo should be planted in front of the door and no trees behind the house" can be explained in this way. On the one hand, in the past, most of the houses that people lived in were thatched houses. When encountering strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall, bamboos would easily collapse. If the house collapses, the bamboo will collapse on the roof, threatening the health and safety of the family. On the other hand, there is a psychological taboo, because the bamboo leaves are pointed in shape, which gives people an unfriendly feeling.

In fact, this custom is very simple. No bamboo is planted in front of the living house in front of the gate. In fact, it takes into account the living environment. It mainly depends on local customs and personal habits. If bamboo is planted in front of the door, because the bamboo is relatively tall and evergreen all year round, it will block the sun's rays. As a result, the room becomes dark and even the moisture is extremely dense, which can easily attract snakes and rats, affecting the safety of the residents and the health of the environment.

Chinese residential buildings generally face south. Such a design contributes to the brightness of light passing through the house and rooms. However, if trees are planted in front of the room, most of the sunlight will be blocked as the trees grow, which is not conducive to the lighting and ventilation of the room. In some areas, rooms can even become dark and damp in autumn and winter, which is bad for people's health. Therefore, in order to improve the transparency of the house, it is not suitable to plant trees in front of the house!

The ancients did not plant tall trees behind houses. After all, their roots are relatively strong and can extend several meters underground. They will cause certain damage to the foundation of the house. A slight earthquake may cause damage to the foundation of the house. This will lead to the collapse of the house. When heavy rains fall, the house will be unstable due to the invasion of rainwater, which will also increase the risk. In addition, when stormy weather comes, branches can easily break, causing certain damage to the roof.
