Life is nothing more than food, rice, oil, salt, food, clothing, housing and transportation. The place of residence is divided into yin and yang houses. The safety and taboos of housing have been often believed from ancient times to the present. The theory of yin and yang Feng Shui and the five elements is still believed to be believed and abide by by many people.
In ancient times, the population base was still as huge as modern times. Under the conditions of low productivity and backward medical and health, although the land was often dominated by the imperial power of high-ranking families and officials.
But ordinary families are deficient compared to powerful people, but most families also have courtyards and relatively spacious residential environments.
Therefore, there are also some conventions of for the layout of your own yard. , especially in the era when Taoism and Buddhism were prevalent, people attached importance to the study of yin and yang. is also reflected in the direction of the mansion and the layout of the mansion.
If the yin house avoids the surrounding water and prevents the gathering of yin evil spirits, the yang house should be far away from the narrow mouth to positively use the yang energy. For the layout of the house, there is no well in the center of the courtyard, and the door and the door cannot face it directly, and there must be a false environment or a screen.
Theory of Five Trees
The requirements for green plants in the courtyard are also within the scope of consideration. There are also some statements about trees and green plants entering the mansion, such as the saying that five trees are not suitable and five trees are rich in houses.
The so-called five trees should not usually refer to pine, cypress, mulberry, locust pear or pine, cypress, mulberry, willow pear. Although there are differences, the meaning and the taboo things are similar.
There are several general statements about trees that cannot be planted. One is the saying of that is homophones, one is the saying of Feng Shui gathering Yin, and the other is easy to cause disasters.
The first type of homophone is the theory of false homophones. The representative one of is that mulberry and huaipe, the word mulberry is homophone for funeral. The fear of funeral and death is still something that many people resist and resist.
Therefore, the planting of mulberry trees is not for the needs of raising silkworms. Mulberry trees are avoided in many places, and they believe that planting them under their own foyer can easily bring unfortunate accidents.
And pear trees are the same. pear separation is easy to remind people of separation. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and separation often means that we can never meet again.
In addition, the flowers blooming in pear blossoms are white flowers, and white is mostly caring for people. Secondly, because pear blossoms have a unique smell, which is not popular for some families that require fresh air.
Therefore, even though pears are one of the many fruits on the table, they are refreshing and crisp, clearing heat and detoxifying, the sensitivity and attention to separation from ancient times to the present have always been to exclude the pear trees from the courtyard.
There have been two extreme controversies about the statement of locust tree since ancient times. One is that it can be kept in the mansion, attract wealth and blessings, and the other is that it can attract ghosts and gather evil spirits.
The first statement comes from Feng Shui. The Huaiwei Lu theory, the three locusts and nine thorns are allusions to the three ministers and nine ministers with high power. However, some people believe that the locust tree can accommodate the soul. If the locust tree hangs on the locust tree, the soul cannot return to the west and attaches to the tree, and becomes a ghost tree.
There is also a saying that locust trees belong to Yin. If there are more men in the house and the yang energy is strong, it often leads to disputes. Locust trees are often planted. From ancient times to the present, there is a close relationship between the harmony of yin and yang and the doctrine of the mean. It is common for yang to replenish yin and yin to be supplemented.
For trees like pine and cypress , although Confucius 's statement has given pine and cypress objects a noble and evergreen nature.
Although pine and cypress have such beautiful meanings, the reason why they are disliked is that is mainly because it produces a large number of lipid compounds, which in addition to producing an unacceptable taste.
will also become an flame retardant material when a fire occurs. It is extremely difficult to destroy it when splashing water on ordinary water.
Another feature of them is eternal green, eternal green has become an important reason why they cannot become plants in the courtyard. The trees are too large and cover the house.
The characteristics of eternal green are more suitable for shady houses. Not only are the huge branches that can shelter from wind and rain, but their complex roots are conducive to protection to make the water and soil more stable and prevent collapse.
But the reason why willow trees are difficult for ordinary people to accept is not the so-called homophones and meanings, nor does it have any unknown meanings, but some people think that the swaying willow leaves make people feel floating.
thinks that willows have a slight frivolous meaning, and is often disliked, but there is also a very important reason because whenever the willows are breeding, the catkins are flying around in , which often increases the difficulty of cleaning, and also increases the risk of fire.
Interestingly, although the trees that the ancients taboo did not plant were varied, they all had one thing in common, that is, these trees could grow into big trees and stay hidden.
And the branches of big trees must be very lush, so most of the sunlight is hidden by leaves. If continues to do so, the house will be damp, mosquitoes, snakes and ants and other things that like shade will inevitably gather, which will lead to more diseases in the family. This is the reason why there are fewer such big trees in modern times.
What ordinary people like
For this reason, people often plant things in the courtyard. is mostly short trees and has brighter colors. is like a pomegranate tree that is often preferred by people.
are both homophones and different meanings, and the pear tree is becoming derogatory, while the pomegranate tree represents abundant and wealth-keeping with the image of "stay".
is more popular because of the sweet taste of pomegranate, which also represents the meaning of Chen Huan and the prolonged descendants. is therefore loved and loved by the older generation in the family.
and so on, as well as apricot trees, jujube trees, , etc., are all large and not high, and have both ornamental and good meanings. Especially the apricot trees represent happiness and well-being, and also have the symbol of good writing.
Conclusion
Use homophones to judge the quality of trees and planting. From ancient times to the present, it has been biased and has a strong subjective meaning. This may not be desirable.
Although the current Feng Shui study has been generally broken, the ancient conclusions of Yin and Yang Feng Shui have their rationality and scientific basis. Yin and Yang and Five Elements Feng Shui are not rootless places. In the end, most ancient books have been lost, and the people who have learned more but not refined.
For example, when a tree is big, it is easy to gather yin, and yin evil often enters the body and causes diseases. It is precisely because of the pest disaster caused by excessive humidity that affects your health.
Secondly, trees such as locust trees, pine and cypress are often favored by insects and are prone to corrosion, so they are often excluded from making tools for home use.
The so-called characteristic of Chinese culture lies in the doctrine of moderation, while the characteristic of Chinese is implicitness. The term "yin evil" does not refer to specific things or things, but a general term, sometimes refers to dampness, sometimes refers to cool wind, insects, etc.
Do not use ancient books by digging into words or taking them out of context. Combining the full meaning of the article and referring to relevant documents, so that you can know their true intentions without looking for the text to create meaning.
