In our country's folk tradition, people pay attention to the grave after death, and the geomantic omen in the cemetery behind them is naturally extremely important. Planting trees in front of graves is a traditional way to improve the geomantic omen of yin houses, but if someone plants the wrong trees, it will not only improve the geomantic omen, but also have side effects. Pay attention to planting trees in front of the grave as follows:

1, planting trees in front of the grave must be even.

In ancient cemeteries in China, whether emperors, princes, aristocrats or ordinary people, the trees planted in cemeteries are mainly conifers, which are planted on both sides of the monument in even numbers. According to the custom of China people, the living prefer single, while the dead prefer double. Therefore, it is best to use even numbers for the funerary objects of the deceased, even the buttons of clothes.

2. It is forbidden to plant camphor trees, Toona sinensis trees and Sophora japonica trees in front of graves.

Some trees can't be planted next to graves. They are camphor tree, Toona sinensis and Sophora japonica. These three kinds of trees have developed root systems and are very easy to erode into graves when they grow up. Once the root system goes deep into the tomb too much, it is not conducive to burial; Second, roots tend to absorb the bones of ancestors as fertilizer, which makes ancestors restless when they die.

The tree with thorns on the grave will hurt your eyes.

The importance of feng shui is nothing more than yin-based feng shui. It is unlucky to have a thorny tree on the Feng Shui tomb of the Yin House. If these thorny trees cover the grave again, it will be the image of great evil.

In this case, the geomantic omen of the ancestral grave is harmful to the eyes of the descendants of the tomb owner, while the trees cover the grave and it is difficult to see. The geomantic omen of the tomb is related to the success or failure of future generations. The trees with thorns, such as jujube trees, locust trees and thorn trees, are the most harmful to the eyes of future generations in the hall.

The "thorn" of the tree is the "nail" in the eye, and the "nail" hurts the eye, so the descendants of the owner of the Feng Shui tomb in this cemetery will have more eye diseases. From eye injury and illness to blindness.

4. Mulberry and pear trees should not be planted in front of the grave.

Because mulberry and mourning are homophonic, the meaning is not very good. The cemetery is not suitable for planting mulberry trees, and the other is pear trees. Pear and separation are homophonic, and pear tree also means separation. So it is not good to plant pear trees in the cemetery.

5. Planting trees should be 3 meters away from the grave.

It is best to plant trees away from the cemetery, at least 3 meters away, and try to avoid planting some trees with developed roots.

Trees most suitable for planting in front of graves: pine, cypress and willow.

Not all trees can be planted on the grave. The most suitable trees are pine, cypress and willow. These three kinds of trees have strong viability and long life, symbolizing the immortality of the deceased and the prosperity of future generations. The best choice is to plant pine and cypress, which is evergreen all the year round, with high survival rate and insect resistance. These trees planted on both sides of the tomb also make the geomantic omen of the cemetery more vivid.

Planting cypress trees in graves originated from a folklore. According to legend, there was an evil beast in ancient times, named raccoon, who liked to steal corpses and livers. Every night, he comes out to dig graves and eat corpses. This beast is flexible, quick-moving, elusive, but afraid of tigers and cypresses. Therefore, in order to avoid this evil beast, the ancients often set up Shi Hu and planted cypress trees in the cemetery. In addition, planting pine and cypress trees has the functions of soil and water conservation, avoiding soil erosion and protecting graves. Of course, in order to find the graves of relatives, people will plant trees next to them. When they grow up, they can see where they want to sweep miles away.
