What trees are taboo to plant in the courtyard
When creating a courtyard landscape, the choice of plants is related to home feng shui and quality of life. In China's traditional culture, certain tree species are given special meanings due to their homophones, shapes or growth characteristics. If they are mistakenly planted, they may cause psychological hints and feng shui disputes. From the perspective of folklore, this article sorts out five types of tree species that need to be planted carefully to help you create a harmonious and beautiful courtyard space. Cypress: The symbol of the cemetery and the cultural image of common tree species in the cemetery. The evergreen nature of cypress trees makes it the main greening tree species in the cemetery. The thousand-year-old planting history has formed a strong cultural symbol connection. Garden planting can easily trigger psychological hints and affect the emotions of residents. Although growth characteristics and spatial adaptation have the advantages of drought tolerance and cold resistance, its tall and straight shape and dark green color tone can easily cause pressure in limited courtyard space. It is recommended to plant auspicious tree species such as Podocarpus. Mulberry and willow combination: The dual cultural interpretation of homophonic taboo and loss of wealth. Mulberry The homophonic harmony of "mulberry" and "funeral" makes it a courtyard taboo, but it is also a representative of cash crops in sericulture culture. Consider planting in productive areas and avoid entering landscape areas. Analysis of Willow's Flowing Water Image The pronunciation of "willow" harmonious and "flow" is believed to lead to the leakage of wealth, and its drooping branches belong to negative energy in Feng Shui. It is recommended to replace it with a acacia tree, which not only maintains auspicious meaning but also has ornamental value. Peach and locust controversy: The double-sided characteristics of the town house and Zhaoyin The evolution of peachwood's anti-evil culture Although peach trees can be used to make town house magic tools, their blood-red colors are regarded as a sign of blood light among the people. It is recommended to plant peaches of the same family and different genera to retain ornamental properties and avoid taboos. Structural hidden dangers of locust trees. The font structure of the "wooden ghost" combination is often misinterpreted. In fact, attention should be paid to the potential threat of its developed root system to the building foundation. It is recommended to plant deep-rooted auspicious tree species such as camphor trees. Misunderstanding of pear and plum: Cultural misunderstanding and scientific understanding of scientific location for pear planting The pronunciation of "pear" and "harmony" is taboo, but in fact, it is more suitable for orchard cultivation due to the characteristics of fruit trees. For garden planting, dwarf varieties can be selected to cooperate with auspicious fruit trees such as pomegranate. The misunderstanding of the aesthetic name of plum trees,"plum" harmonious and "charming", conceals its cultural value. The classic combination of "three friends in cold years" can be formed through reasonable landscaping and matching pine and bamboo to resolve the taboo of single tree species.
The layout of garden plants needs to take into account cultural psychology and modern aesthetics. It is recommended to choose traditional auspicious tree species such as osmanthus and magnolia trees.
