What is the meaning of the three sayings of the old ancestor, "Don't plant mulberry in front, don't plant willow behind, don't plant ghosts in the yard and clap your hands"?

Not planting a mulberry tree in front of you, not planting a willow tree behind you, and not planting a ghost in the yard to clap your hands, I'm going to explain these two sentences separately. First of all, the first not to plant mulberry, that is, do not plant mulberry trees in front of the door, because the mulberry sound with the funeral, so planting funeral trees in front of the door is unlucky, this is called the front not to plant mulberry.

After not planting the willow, is to say that the back of the house do not plant the willow, planting the willow is not auspicious. Because our area (Anyang, Henan) to do white Hou, with willow branches picking funeral streamers, to the grave on the willow branches buried in the back of the grave, and later rooted and sprouted into a tree, easy to find the address of the grave in the future. Therefore, planting willow behind the house and the grave behind the planting of willow link, not in the back of the house planting willow.

Besides, when the yard is not planted ghosts clap hands, ghosts clap fingers of poplar, the wind, poplar leaves clattering chaotic, as ghosts clap hands, disturbing the yard masters can not live peacefully, so, when the yard is not planted poplar.

This is the ancient people summarized experience, which has a certain reason.

It is a pleasure to discuss folk sayings.

These two sentences say that the front of the house should not be planted mulberry, the backyard of the house should not be planted willow, the yard should not be planted "ghost clap", that is, poplar, poplar trees are blown by the wind, the sound of clattering, as if the ghosts in the clap, so it is called "ghost clap". "

This is a very good idea.

The front is not loaded with mulberry, because the harmonic of mulberry is "funeral", inauspicious; the back is not loaded with willow, willow's harmonic is "flow", there is a wealth outflow meaning, meaning that you can not keep the wealth; when the yard is not planted with ghosts clapping hands, on the one hand, because of the clattering leaves, affecting the normal rest, on the other hand, in ancient times, the leaves are not planted with ghosts clapping hands, so it is called "ghosts clapping hands". Normal rest, on the other hand, in ancient times, a lot of theft, the courtyard tree is easy to become a place for thieves to hide, so it is not suitable for planting.

With the development of science and technology and the progress of the times, although some of the sayings have certain limitations, or we have a more scientific explanation and understanding of certain things, but we can not completely deny that it has a certain reason. These sayings, either warning people of the dos and don'ts, or guiding people to the good and the bad, have had a profound impact on people's lives.

Today, when we talk about folklore, we need to take into account the characteristics of the times and learn to analyze them dialectically and rationally.

I know a little bit about not planting mulberry in the front and not planting willow in the back, which is also a feng shui problem.

On the front not planted mulberry, because mulberry and funeral homophonic. I remember when I was a child, our family had a small yard, the yard is not big, because it is living in the alley. But there is an old mulberry tree, the trunk is very thick, branches and leaves, to the mulberry ripe, some boys climbed to the tree to pick mulberries to eat, and some also points to our little carrot head to eat, it is very sweet, and some have a sour taste. According to the old man, this mulberry tree has a history of three hundred years.

Our family of six siblings, living here died the oldest two, in addition to death, several relatives (also live in the yard) are dying young.

Perhaps the wind and water rotate, somehow this old mulberry tree died, everyone cut the tree for firewood.

Coincidentally, from then on, our hospital developed, out of talent, someone developed. Then our family moved, my cousin lived, she gave birth to two sons.

No coincidence, our neighborhood has a building in front of the door with two mulberry trees, facing a family door, the results of this couple, less than two years double death. Later, because of the power lines, the tree was cut down, and from then on, his children are good, and now they are selling hot noodles at the door, and the business is quite good!

The above situation, for you to listen to the story, maybe coincidence, believe it or not, please do not troll!

In fact, this is the old generation of people summarized life experience, passed on to be superstitious.

is that the front is not planted mulberry trees, because mulberry trees grow high, you can grow up to 10 meters high, the main thing is that the big mulberry tree mulberry fruit dense, high trees can not be picked, wait until after the ripe will naturally fall off, fall into the clothes can not wash off the color, fall to the ground is not good to clean up, the doorstep! The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money from the company, and then you have to pay for it.

refers to the back of the room can not be planted willow, because the northern region more windy days, most of the windows are paper Hu's, and when you sleep, the face is facing the back window, with the wind of the willow branches swaying with the wind, the shadow is reflected in the window, looking very uncomfortable, if you do not see the side to the side, but also prone to fall asleep.

Ghost clap is not a single tree, refers to all the leaves dense hard trees, most of which refers to poplars, this thing is dense leaves at night when the wind clatters, like clapping, seriously affecting sleep, in the Northeast are early to sleep, get up early, if you don't sleep well in the morning, there is no way to work. So do not let plant this tree.

There is another reason, because the poplar tree spring tree hair more, summer tree oil more, fall leaves more, winter dead branches more. Falling into the yard is particularly bad to clean up. The yard in the countryside is still large, sweeping once on half a day, so do not plant this tree.

Conclusion

As the saying goes: don't listen to the old man's words, suffer before your eyes. Old words and sayings are the life experience and some common sense accumulated by the old generation.

The above is my answer, welcome to discuss and exchange.

Said "mulberry" with "funeral", planted in front of the house mulberry will be "funeral" in the front; willows do not bear seeds, planted behind the house will not have a boy offspring, but also said "after the slip". It is also said that "after the slip (willow)" will run out of wealth; poplar trees in the wind, the leaves clattering, like a "ghost" clap. These trees are not planted in the right place are unlucky.

There are other sayings, for example: "cypress

not allowed to plant when the yard", said the cypress is a symbol of ghosts; home yard is not allowed to have a dead tree, the dead tree that the death of a family member. Therefore, when a tree dies in the courtyard, it must be immediately rooted out and planted with a new tree.

These are all superstitions and should not be taken lightly.

"Before not planted mulberry, after not planted willow, when the yard is not planted ghost clap." Is a folk saying in Shandong, Henan and other places, naturally, these places are folk taboos.

(Mulberry)

The mulberry tree mulberry word, because with the "funeral" and "scattered" is a harmonic word, therefore, it also violates the folk taboo. Funeral meaning, one is lost, its meaning is a lot, both the loss of wealth, but also the loss of population, and the loss of other meanings; two is related to the death of a person, such as the funeral, the loss of a spouse, the loss of a father, the loss of a mother, and so on, are inauspicious things. Folk on the "loose" taboo is to separate, separate. Shandong, Henan, the history of the region for the soldiers, whenever the change of dynasties, war and chaos, the people were displaced, suffered the pain of separation of loved ones. Therefore, the people in this area are most afraid of the separation of family members and relatives.

This taboo is caused by historical reasons, is a social psychology, people are afraid of the heart of the psychological manifestations of the separation of flesh and blood, longing for a family reunion of a beautiful wish. If you use superstition alone to deny this folklore, you are denying history. For example, the South is relatively stable in history, there is no taboo not to plant mulberry trees in front of the house, as long as there is open space in front of and behind the house, planted with mulberry trees, can be used to raise silkworms, increase family income.

(Willow)

After not planting willow is also a custom in the north, Shandong, Henan area is particularly concerned. Willow for the north in the funeral commonly used things. Such as the death of the elderly, folk funeral with willow branches for mourning staff, soul streamers, Qingming Festival, Winter Festival, winter solstice tomb sweeping, with willow branches inserted into the paper on the grave. Because of this custom, the folk also planted in the back of the house willows have an associative effect, a see the willow tree will recall the funeral scene, thought unlucky, and therefore very taboo.

The South generally do not have this argument, may be the southern climate is suitable for a variety of bamboo and wood growth, as a mourning staff and beat the soul of the material can choose too much. For example, the south of the funeral, the most used is the bamboo, with a flower platform, do the coffin cover, do the spirit of the house, etc., are used to do bamboo. But the South does not because of this taboo behind the house and around the planting of bamboo. This is the difference between regional folk culture.

(poplar)

Ghosts clap hands, is a folk very image of the name, is actually a tree, called poplar. Because the leaves of the poplar tree in the wind blowing through, the leaves issued a popping sound, like someone clapping their hands, but not a person clapping their hands, people think of ghosts, said it is a ghost in the clap, and thus called poplar tree for the ghosts clapping, in fact, where in the world there is a ghost, much less a ghost in the clap. But the poplar tree is so loud that people are afraid, and thus this tree is planted in the yard is very taboo, and even planted in front of the house is also very taboo.

Poplar is also suitable for growth in the South, but not the main species here (the South has wild poplar family, but not quite the same), in the past there is very little cultivation, but now there is, mainly planted on both sides of the highway, or a large area of planting, mainly used as industrial raw materials. Family almost no one like to plant this tree, this tree to the south, the biggest defect is the bugs, especially in the spring and summer, a lot of caterpillars, naturally unpopular. The vast majority of people in the South do not even know "ghost clap" is something, so there is no "when the yard does not plant ghost clap" custom.

It is not said that there are no ghosts in the world, and how to ghost clap funny

Rural proverb: "not planted in front of the mulberry, not planted after the willow, not planted in the yard ghost clap", what does it mean?

Rural taboos, you have to understand

The meaning of the proverb is very simple, in front of the house can not be planted mulberry trees, behind the house can not be planted willows, the yard can not be planted poplar trees. These old preoccupations are summarized by the old ancestors, to continue to inherit and innovate, rural taboos, more or less to understand.

Sang's harmonic is funeral, go out to see the funeral is not good luck; willow and flow of harmonic, there is the meaning of flowing water, water in our traditional culture on behalf of wealth, planting willow behind the house, gold and silver flow away; poplar leaves are relatively large, the wind will make a sound after blowing, as people in the clapping, planted in the yard will be prudent panic. Willow there is another way of saying, the traditional culture that the willow tree is Yin wood, planted in front of the house is naturally very taboo.

According to scientific research, the disadvantages of planting trees in front of the door and behind the house are twofold: one is that snakes, insects, rodents and ants may enter; the second is that the humidity of the home will therefore increase, and long-term residents have the risk of contracting rheumatism. The treatment of the old ancestors left behind the proverb to take the essence of the dregs, can not be accepted in its entirety.

Second, these plants and trees, some of which are arranged according to the location, some from the aesthetic interest, some are psychological needs, such as the door planted willow, acacia, jujube, is to take its harmonics "flow", "Wyatt", "early", meaning that the pearl and agate flow into the door, pregnant with silver and gold treasures, the early birth of a noble son.

The most taboo is to plant mulberry in front of the door, planting poplar in the yard, planting willow behind the house.

Proverbs:

Before not planted mulberry, after not planted willow, the yard is not planted ghost clap.

The so-called "ghost beat hands", that is, poplar, folk also called "quack hand" and so on. Windy, poplar leaves "clatter" ring, noise people upset, but also easy for thieves to cover the sound, so the yard can not be planted in this tree. Mulberry and "funeral" sound close to the folk taboo; willow and "flow" resonance, behind the house planting willow, money and treasure out of suspicion.

This belief should be formed after the Han and Tang dynasties. Because, in Hubei Yunmeng sleep tiger 11 Qin tomb unearthed in bamboo slips, there is a door planted in front of the simple text. Yunmeng ancient belongs to the Chu, Chu witch wind is very prevalent, known as "good witch ghosts, heavy obscene rituals", but do not see "not planted before the mulberry" this common belief. Jun not see the cocoon of the countryside are mulberry, not taboo in front of the back of the house, and to "Mulberry" on behalf of his hometown, it can be seen that this customary letter may not be rigidly adhere to.

"Before not planting mulberry, after not planting willow" this customary letter, is a descendant of a lucky psychology, but also a superstition, we should abandon today; "yard not planted ghosts clap hands", is to be quiet, there is still a little truth.

In addition to the trees have dust and sand, landscaping, the role of feng shui in the four main aspects:

◆ poly gas: countryside, an open, gas荡无收, can plant trees to narrow the scope of the home, so that there is a reunion of the image.

◆ Sheltering the wind: flat land on the mountains and coastal plains, windy days, cold and strong winter winds from the north, people, storage and crops are harmful, you can plant windbreaks to block the wind.

◆ Shade: If there is a mountain, house corner, wall corner, chimney and high-voltage towers opposite to your house, you can plant trees or build a trellis with climbing plants and use green foliage to cover up the shape.

◆ Ventilation and cover the shape: If you look at the house from the point of view of metaphysics, you can see that the star of the disk is in the front, but there is a shape in the distance, so you can plant bamboo or sparse plants at a distance to cover the evil shape and make the lucky gas pass through.

The tree should not be too close to the window, otherwise it will attract the Yin dampness, is not conducive to the health of the occupants. Generally speaking, the tree in front of the window to leave more than 2 meters. Residence and trees should form a friendly relationship. The front door should not have dead trees, dead trees in front of the door, visually, psychologically, form a shadow, affecting the family's traveling mood, over time, it will have a negative impact on the occupants. If there is a dead tree in front of the house, it should be cut immediately and then plant new trees, new lawn.

In front of the door planted rattan tree, everything more tangled tangle azalea Department of climbing plants, generated as if a large pile of grass blocking the door, airtight sunlight blocked to the yin and yang are not balanced, unlucky in the house, and Wangqi for the plants sucked trees, trees lush auspicious gas the more lost, from a scientific point of view, if the trees are more dense around the room, not only easy to invade the snakes, insects and mice, and at night, with the people competing for gas (plants absorb oxygen at night during the daytime oxygen release). Bad luck master health! Because of the chopping for the best policy!

Doorway tree feng shui to stop the "trapped" bureau in the yard, do not plant the crown of a large stem high tree species, one to block the light, the second feng shui tree on the "yin", yin gathering bad luck home, so these trees are best planted outside the fence, if you can only plant in the yard, you will be able to get a good deal of money. Outside the fence, if you can only plant in the yard, then the canopy must have a sector thrown out of the fence. Chinese style courtyard recommended acacia, Western style recommended apple tree, willow tree, although not large, but also gather yin qi, away from the house is better. If it is a single courtyard, do not be alone only planted a tree, it becomes a mouth + wood = sleepy, so also plant some low small shrubs.

"Before not planted mulberry, after not planted willow courtyard not planted ghosts clap hands", the meaning of these three words of the old ancestors:

First, before not planted mulberry: we all know that mulberry and mourning is a harmonic sound. Ancient people believe that planting mulberry trees in front of the home yard is unfavorable to the family's fortune, and is prone to bring mourning, so people look forward to the future is good, they do not want the present is mourning.

Second, after not planting willow: refers to the back door can not be planted willow, willow and stay is a harmonic, meaning that behind the door planting willow, ancient people think that it is easy to stay money, easy to let the family broke the money, some places will use willow branches to make "funeral sticks", if planted in the back of the house will also feel very bad, very bad! Auspicious!

Third, the yard is not planted in the ghost clap, "ghost clap" refers to the poplar tree, whenever the wind blows, the leaves of the poplar tree will emit a clattering sound, the leaves of the poplar tree is like a human palm, at night sounds like a ghost in the clap, so poplar tree has a "ghost clap!

The heart of the mulberry and catalpa, refers to the ancient often planted mulberry and catalpa trees next to the house. The mulberry and catalpa trees in the hometown are planted by the parents to show respect to it. Later, people used "mulberry and catalpa" as a metaphor for their hometown.

"Zhu Xi set biography": "mulberry, catalpa, two wood. Ancient five acres of the house, the tree under the wall, to leave the children and grandchildren, to the silkworms, with a utensil also ...... mulberry and catalpa parents planted. In addition, the ancient family cemetery is also willing to build near the mulberry forest. May also have some relationship with this.

The main thing is that mulberry trees are good at attracting all kinds of bugs. Planted in front of the door, every day to see the bugs, very annoying. And it also attracts a lot of birds. Bird noisy rest, bird droppings, but also often have to clean up. The front door is the face of your home. Neither noisy, nor dirty.

Willow tree in the spring will produce a lot of willow flakes, flying to the yard house, such as in the case of open fire, it is easy to cause a fire. Willow is a good place to keep cool. If planted behind the house, it will attract people to cool off. Some secrets in the house, easy to be heard.

The leaves of poplar trees are large and clatter. At night, thieves will take advantage of the sound of the leaves to steal. Bringing unnecessary trouble to themselves. In addition, poplar trees also have a lot of flotsam, planted in the yard, can also cause fires.

It is like the legend of Nuwawa mending the sky, which is actually quarrying stones and treating floods by blocking and mending. Only as it was passed on, it became a legend.

The same is true for planting trees in the yard, at first because they are not favorable to the residence, they do not plant. Slowly spread into a superstition.
