What kind of trees are suitable for planting at home?

Avoid planting big trees in front of the gate; In terms of tree species selection, Feng Shui believes that "Peach willow (Yima) is planted in the east, elm tree is planted in the west, plum jujube (Niu Yi) is planted in the south, and apricot tree is planted in the north". And "there are trees in the middle door, three generations of wealth, and elms and ghosts behind the house." "I like to plant double dates in front of the door, surrounded by bamboo trees, and I can make money" (Xiangzhai Book 4). In Kaifeng, Henan Province, there is a folk song of "house taboo": "Don't plant mulberry before, willow after, clap your hands in front of the door." Sang and mourning are homophonic; "Willow" refers to the fact that willow branches are often used as "mourning sticks" and "evoking souls" at funerals after parents' death. "Ghost clapping" refers to poplars, many of which are in the base, and the leaves make people clap their hands in the wind. There is also a folk saying that there is no locust behind the house. It is said that there was a custom of honoring Sophora japonica in ancient times. In ancient times, Sophora japonica was a symbol of good luck, longevity and official position, so it was forbidden to plant Sophora japonica in the back of the house. In Henan province, the planting of neem trees in hospitals is prohibited, and it is considered that neem trees are bitter beans, indicating that their owners eat bitter fruits. In the southern coastal areas, it is forbidden to plant plantains and bananas around houses. Popular beliefs tend to gather ghosts or make women suffer from blood diseases. "Wu Jiang Ji" said: "Those who point to vegetation: if there are apricots in the east, they will be defeated; There is Li in the west of the house; Sophora japonica is rich; Bananas, troubles and the like. " These taboos seem absurd, but if we look at the growth characteristics of these different tree species, we can find that they are quite scientific. For example, Sophora japonica prefers light to shade and is suitable for planting in the south of the house. Elm is a fast-growing tree species with lush foliage, which is beneficial to wind and cold protection when planted in the house. What is particularly interesting is that elm has a strong ability to absorb toxic gases and smoke. It can purify the air and protect the environment when planted in a house, so there is a saying that "a hundred ghosts are not close". After the house is built, we should consider the interior furnishings and use, and there are also taboos in this regard. In Tianjin, the wardrobe can't face the bed. In Hebei area, there is a taboo to stick windows. According to the social survey in Dingxian County, if farmers' windows are pasted before 1 October 1 after autumn, they must leave a small hole in the corner of the window and repair it in the future1October1. It is said that on July 15, the ghost was released to the capital of Yunnan and was forbidden to go far away, let alone stay outside. In some places in Shandong, it is forbidden to go out for two days, saying "stay and go, 369". If a good day has been set for departure, but bad omens suddenly happened in the old days, such as children falling down, crying, accidentally breaking teacups, etc. It's unlucky to put it off for at least one day. Yang Gongbi mentioned earlier is a special day to avoid traveling. According to "Bu Ji", "laity people are afraid of Yang Gongbi and say that it is not suitable for traveling. I don't know why, so I am confused. According to it, today is' House Fire Pig Day'. His technique is to start from the corner on New Year's Day, and according to the number of 28 nights, the duty room is Yang. " In this order, Yanggongbi should be: January 13th, February 11th, March 9th, April 7th, May 5th, June 3rd, July 1st, 29th, August 27th, September 25th, October 23rd, November 21st and December 19th. 28 days apart.
