There is a saying in rural areas that "if five trees enter a house, a person will be poor and his family will be ruined." What are the five types of trees?
As the old saying goes, if five trees enter the house, a person will become poor and his family will be ruined. This does not mean that these five kinds of trees are bad. It is just a superstitious saying in ancient times, referring to cypress, mulberry, locust, pear and willow trees.
Cypress, a plant in the Cupressaceae family, is an evergreen tree. It has a mythical story about a young man named Separicias who loved to hunt on horseback. When he went hunting again, he accidentally shot the sacred deer to death. So in order to punish him, the chief god turned him into a cypress tree that would never die and let him accompany the sacred deer. The cypress tree also became a symbol of longevity. Many people plant many cypress trees in or near the cemetery as a blessing to the deceased. Slowly the cypress became a tree that lived in the cemetery. No one wants to plant cypress trees in their yards.
Mulberry tree belongs to the family Moraceae and is a deciduous tree. If you have never seen a mulberry tree, you must know that one of its biggest uses is to raise silkworms. Its leaves are feed for raising silkworms, and the quality of the silkworms produced is particularly good. Its bark is soft and fine, and can also be used as a raw material for textiles. Its trees are hard, and can be used to make furniture. More importantly, its fruit, mulberry, Everyone should have eaten it, and it can also be used to eat it directly or make some mulberry wine. Why is the mulberry tree with so many benefits called one of the five trees that cannot be used in homes? The reason is very simple, just because the word "mulberry" for mulberry tree and the word "mourning" for funeral have the same pronunciation. In order to pursue perfection psychologically and avoid unnecessary bad luck, people plant mulberry trees far away from their homes.
The Sophora japonica tree belongs to the Papilionaceae family. In Feng Shui, it is also called "Feng Shui Tree". According to Feng Shui, locust trees have a certain spiritual power.

The pear tree, belonging to the Rosaceae family, is one of the most common fruit trees. The pear tree blooms beautifully. I believe there must be people who like to eat pears very much. So what’s wrong with planting a pear tree at home so that you can enjoy the flowers when they bloom and eat the pears when they bear fruit? Because the word "pear" for pear tree has the same pronunciation as the word "li" for separation. People don't like separation, and they are also afraid of being unlucky and causing unnecessary disasters. Therefore, people generally do not plant pear trees at home, but usually in orchards or other places.
