People who have seen his house are very praiseworthy. The area is actually not large, but the layout is very reasonable. On the left side of their yard, some trees were planted, which had not been before. Someone asked him about this matter at that time, and he said, "There are green dragon trees in the family, and their descendants will be rich." I wonder if you are curious about what tree this "green dragon tree" is? Does this sentence make sense?
I also specifically understood this statement, and then I understood the meaning of "green dragon tree".

Qinglong Tree does not specifically refer to a tree, it is a general term.
There were four major beasts of in ancient times, namely , the left green dragon , the right white tiger, the front vermilion bird , and the last Xuanwu . This green dragon actually represents a direction, combined with the green dragon tree, so we can understand it as the tree on the left side of the house.
Qinglong is the first of the four beasts. When building a house, I often hear elders mention "It is better to call the Qinglong thousands of feet tall than to let white tiger be suppressed", which also indirectly shows people's recognition and admiration for the Qinglong. Where should Qinglongshu be located in the house?
According to the theory of the five elements and orientation, different colors represent different orientations: green in the east is wood, white in the west is gold, red in the south is fire, black in the north is water, and yellow in the center is earth. In other words, the Qinglong represents the East, which coincides with the previous mention of the Left as the Great.
According to the construction of the house, it usually faces north and south. This not only has better lighting effects, but also caters to the requirements of Feng Shui. If you plant trees in the east at this time, you can avoid direct sunlight and it will be more convenient to enjoy the cool air in summer.

Qinglongshu, why is it a general term?
In addition to some trees that are clearly not planted, we can call the Green Dragon Tree an osmanthus tree, or orange tree , or even other fruit trees. After planting these trees, will your descendants become rich? This makes no sense.
Whether the descendants are rich or not depends entirely on a tree, which is somewhat nonsense, but why does this statement spread now? This is because planting trees on the east side of the house does have certain benefits, such as the cooldown that I just mentioned, avoid direct sunlight, and it can also make people pleasing to the eye.
Just imagine, the fragrance of osmanthus trees is like that. Does the whole house have that kind of smell, especially in autumn, which will make people feel good. If it is a fruit tree, it is also a blessing to also taste the fruit you planted.
Nowadays, people are increasingly particular about their living environment, and "there are green dragon trees in the family, and future generations are rich" is gradually recognized. Although people know that it may have nothing to do with wealth, it does meet the layout of the house.

Nowadays, people understand wealth, which is money, but they don’t know that true wealth should actually be to have a good mood every day. “The family has a green dragon tree, and the descendants will be rich”. It should be understood in another way. It is a kind of yearning for a better life, and it represents a positive spirit. This is the correct understanding.
I remember that "the screen is called a tree" in "Er Ya"; later "The Book of Rites·Miscellaneous Notes" also mentioned "the tree is a screen". The trees understood by the ancients can isolate and protect the surroundings of the house, because peace, health and happiness are the greatest wealth.
