What does it mean to clap your hands before planting willows?

These two sentences mean that mulberry trees should not be planted in front of the house, willow trees should not be planted behind the house, and "ghost clapping" should not be planted in the yard, that is, poplar trees are blown by the wind and make a clattering sound, as if ghosts are clapping their hands, so it is called "ghost clapping".

Don't bring mulberry before, because the homonym of mulberry is "mourning", which is unlucky; After not carrying willow, the homonym of willow is "flow", which means the outflow of wealth, which means that you can't keep wealth; When ghosts don't plant seedlings in the courtyard, on the one hand, leaves rattle, which affects people's normal rest; On the other hand, in ancient times, there were many thefts, and the trees in the courtyard could easily become hiding places for thieves, so they were not suitable for planting.

With the development of science and technology and the progress of the times, although some proverbs have certain limitations, or we have a more scientific explanation and understanding of certain things, we can't completely deny that they have certain truth. These proverbs either warn people to pay attention to matters or guide people to abandon evil and do good, which have a far-reaching impact on people's lives.

In fact, this is a life experience summed up by the older generation, and it has been superstitious since it was passed down.

It means that mulberry trees are not planted in front, because mulberry trees are very tall and can grow to 10 meters high. The most important thing is that the mulberry fruits of big mulberry trees are dense, and tall trees can't be picked. When cooked, it will naturally fall off, and the color that falls on the clothes will not wash off. When they fall to the ground, they are not easy to clean, and the door will be red.

It means that willows can't be planted behind the house, because there are many windy days in the north, and the windows are mostly papery. When you sleep, your face is facing the back window, and the willow branches in the wind swing with the wind, and the shadows are reflected on the windows, which makes you feel uncomfortable and easy to get stiff neck if you don't look sideways.

Ghost clapping refers not only to a tree, but to all trees with thick and hard leaves, most of which refer to poplars. This kind of thing, like clapping hands, seriously affects sleep. In the northeast, people go to bed early and get up early, so if they don't sleep well, they can't work in the morning. So don't plant this kind of tree.

Another reason is that poplars are hairy in spring, oily in summer, deciduous in autumn and dead branches in winter. Falling into the yard is especially difficult to clean up. In rural areas, the yard is still very large, and it takes half a day to sweep it once, so this kind of tree is not planted.
