What kind of plants are better for private flower beds is related to geomantic omen.

Planting trees in private gardens is dispensable. According to geomantic omen, plants can be divided into two categories: bad luck and bad luck. There are two criteria for dividing the perpetrators: one is based on whether there is poisonous gas or venom, which has certain scientific basis. For example, some scholars believe that cordate telosma will emit a large number of particles that strongly stimulate the sense of smell at night, which has adverse effects on patients with heart disease and hypertension. The flowers of oleander are poisonous, and the fragrance of flowers makes people sleepy and reduces human function. Tulip flowers have soil alkali, which is easy to fall off when exposed to hair too much. It is a fierce tree and should not be planted in a private garden. The other is the shape of the tree, such as "the tree is strange, and its name is ruined by anger", "the tree is hunched over, and its wealth is exhausted", "the tree is like an ox, and it is ill" and so on. All ugly, dignified and abnormally developed trees are fierce. I'm afraid this is a psychological effect or a traditional humanistic aesthetic concept at work. As for auspicious tree, it is determined according to plant characteristics, meanings and even homophones, and people tend to converge this view in real life.

Thirteen auspicious plants in private gardens

1, palm, also known as palm tree. Not only has ornamental value, but also the trunk can be used as a pavilion column. Brown hair can be used as medicine, which has the functions of astringing and stopping bleeding, attending hematemesis and metrorrhagia, and has the functions of making money and protecting money in geomantic omen.

2. Citrus, orange tree. "Orange" and "auspicious" are homophonic, symbolizing good luck, and the fruit is red and yellow, beaming. Potted tangerine is an important decoration for people's families in the Spring Festival, and orange leaves have the function of soothing the liver and relieving depression, which can bring joy to families.

3. bamboo. Su Dongpo said: "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo." Bamboo is a symbol of elegance and exquisiteness. It is not afraid of the wind in the southeast and northwest, and it can also become a feng shui shelter forest at home.

4. Toona sinensis Zhuangzi? Xiaoyao travels in the cloud: "There was a big tree in ancient times, and autumn was 8,000 years." Therefore, Toona sinensis is a symbol of longevity, and later generations take it as their father's name, which has the function of protecting the hospital and praying for longevity in geomantic omen.

5, locust tree. The wood of Sophora japonica is hard, which can be used as greening tree, street tree and so on. It is considered to represent the "land" in Feng Shui. In the ancient court, there were three pagodas and nine thorns. Doctors or officials sat below, facing the three pagodas, which was the three fairs. Therefore, Sophora japonica has the highest rank among all trees, and the town house is authoritative.

6. osmanthus trees. According to legend, there are osmanthus trees in the middle of the month, and osmanthus is also called osmanthus. Ramulus Cinnamomi can be used as medicine to dispel wind and reconcile. Song Wenzhi said: "Sweet-scented osmanthus falls in the moon, and fragrant clouds float outside." Osmanthus fragrans symbolizes nobility. Osmanthus fragrans is a natural air freshener with a fragrant smell in summer.

7.ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderma lucidum is warm and sweet, beneficial to essence, strong bones and muscles, ornamental, and a symbol of longevity. Since ancient times, it has been regarded as auspicious things, and the deer or crane with Ganoderma lucidum in its mouth is a common theme in auspicious pictures.

8. may Plum trees have a strong adaptability to the soil, with five petals, which mean "plum blossoms in Five Blessingg" and can enhance the happiness of the family.

9. banyan tree. It means "tolerance is great, but no desire is just", which helps to improve self-cultivation.

10, jujube tree. Planting jujube trees in private gardens is a metaphor for getting a son early and being ahead of others in everything.

1 1, pomegranate. It contains auspicious signs of many children and many blessings, which is very rich.

12, grapes. Vines twine around vines to symbolize intimacy. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Tanabata meets under the grape trellis. It is also a great pleasure to enjoy the cool in the shade of grapes in summer.

13, begonia. Bright flowers make the house rich, while the flower of Tang Di symbolizes the harmony and happiness of brothers.

Eight kinds of exorcism plants

1, peach tree. "Thousands of families always exchange new peaches for old ones." Peach trees are the essence of the five elements, so hanging a peach symbol on the door every New Year can make a hundred ghosts.

2. Willow. Liu is a star name and one of the twenty-eight nights. Willow also has the function of exorcism. Like peach trees, wicker inserted in the portal can ward off evil spirits.

3. ai. In ancient times, the color of mugwort leaves was regarded as the title of respecting the elderly, and the processed mugwort leaves can be used as the fuel for moxibustion treatment. During the Dragon Boat Festival, making mugwort leaves into "Ai Hu" can play a role in exorcising evil spirits and filth.

4. Ginkgo tree. Ginkgo tree is over 1000 years old. Because it blooms at night, people can't see it, and it hides mysterious power. Therefore, the seals of many town houses should be carved with ginkgo wood.

5, cypress. Righteousness, respected as the length of a hundred trees. The wood is delicate, fragrant and magnificent, which can exorcise evil spirits.

6. Cornus officinalis. "I know where my brothers are climbing from a distance, and one person is missing from the dogwood." Cornus officinalis is an auspicious plant with strong fragrance and can be used as medicine. According to ancient customs, wearing a dogwood bag can ward off evil spirits on September 9 in the summer calendar.

7. Everything comes to him. China and Japan are the most popular plants, which are especially respected, because they are as solid and spherical as loquat, green and ripe yellow, and there is a pearl-like nucleus in them, which is called "Bodhi" in Buddhism, which is used to connect rosaries in series to ensure safety.

8, gourd. Many seeds, native to India, gourd is a kind of plant that can ward off evil spirits in geomantic omen, and it also means many children and many blessings. The ancients often planted it in front of and behind the house.

Second, about planting orientation

Ancient geomantic classics have some conclusions about this: "Peach trees are planted in the east, plum dates are planted in the south, elm trees are planted in the west, and plum trees are planted in the north", "Willows are unlucky in front of the door", "Sophora japonica is in the middle of the door, and there are ghosts behind the house", and "There are bamboo forests and trees around the house to make money". From the above conclusions, combined with modern scientific knowledge, we think that some conclusions contain natural science knowledge, while others are one. For example, peach trees are planted in the east because the sunrise is the first in the east, willow trees germinate earlier, and peach blossoms are one of the earliest flowering plants in spring, so it is more reasonable to plant them in the east, elm trees are wet plants, and it is more appropriate to plant them in the west when the sun is not afraid. As for the saying that locust trees attract wealth and elm trees exorcise ghosts, there are probably many superstitious elements. Willow should not be planted in front of the main gate, which may refer to willow "easy virtue", which is psychologically unacceptable.

Third, about the number of trees planted.

Feng Shui advocates reasonable close planting. It thinks: when the surroundings are large and narrow, don't plant many kinds of trees, otherwise it will help to shade them; Only the sparse left and right behind are densely planted to block their emptiness. We agree with this view, but some of the following statements are too superstitious and can be discarded: "A single tree is the door, but a widowed mother and an orphaned grandson", "The door is in the forest, and the sudden illness is more fierce", "Two trees in front of the door hurt more people", "The left tree is not straight, and the luck is not so fierce", "The left tree is three to five, and the husband and wife are fighting each other", and "Two trees are sandwiched between houses, and the loss is certain.

Fourth, about the size of the tree.

As for how big trees should be planted in private gardens, different Feng Shui schools have different requirements. In geomantic omen, the orthodox school believes that it is appropriate to plant trees in rows to block the suffocation around the house. In order to meet the needs of the situation, when building a house on the plain or in a relatively wide place around it, trees and flowers can be used to create a pattern of "left green dragon, left white tiger, former suzaku and back Xuanwu", that is, large trees are planted in the back of the house, medium trees are planted on the left and right sides, and low shrubs or grass are planted in front. This way is understandable from the aesthetic point of view, which meets people's psychological needs of finding a "land of feng shui", so we can participate in the design. In geomantic theory, it is believed that trees should be planted in high places and low plants should be planted in low places. For example, the theory of "Year of Eight Houses" holds that trees should be planted only when there are natural medicines in the house, and there is longevity and vitality. Dwarf trees or grass can be planted in other directions. Kong Xuan's law stipulates that only God can plant trees, but the direction of zero God is not suitable. This method may have no scientific basis or aesthetic feeling, and should not be used as a reference unless the owner has special requirements.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) on tree type selection

Generally speaking, Feng Shui theory advocates a square garden, which is symmetrical and balanced. Therefore, the overall requirements for plant cultivation can be summarized as: healthy and disease-free, dignified and peculiar, which we can see from the following Feng Shui conclusion. "Strange trees are swollen at the waist, evil spirits are promiscuous little devils", "Bamboo and wood are hung upside down by the water, and children fall into the water", "Dead trees are used as doors, burning people to death", "Twisted branches and vines, hanging beams capsize", "Trees are damaged, feet are sick", "Fruits are left behind, phlegm and fire lead to miscellaneous diseases", "Roots are swollen under trees, deaf and blind", dead trees and dead trees. As for the ugly trees, they should be split in two. Some trees are beautiful because of bending, and they are good because of bending, so we can't exclude them all. Of course, we won't grow those ugly and twisted ones.

Six, about the choice of plant color

Classical Feng Shui books rarely discuss the color of plants directly, but only a few words, such as "the right tree is red, a seductive family" and "the right tree is white, and the children and grandchildren are scattered". I am afraid that the right tree is related to "Peach Blossom" and should not be located on the right side of the pond, otherwise it will be obscene. "White flowers on the right tree" is related to the custom of mourning the dead with white flowers, so it is judged that children and grandchildren will be separated. We think this judgment is nonsense, otherwise the flawless Magnolia grandiflora planted in front of the house would be all wet? Although ancient geomantic theory didn't talk much about what color plants were planted, it believed that everything in the world was composed of five material elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and different colors represented different elements. Gold-white, apricot, Jin Mu-green, green water-black, Lan Huo-red, purple soil-yellow, and brown. As for where to plant what colors, Feng Shui has made a series of complicated theories according to the five elements principle, so I won't discuss it because of space limitations. According to people's psychological habits of color, some new modern Feng Shui scholars put forward some new views. They think red represents prosperity and enthusiasm; Green represents peace; Yellow represents wealth; Black represents solemnity; White represents cleanliness and solemnity. The author thinks that the above division has certain significance, because it conforms to the psychological set of modern people, and we can refer to it in landscape design.

The above feng shui knowledge comes from the decoration materials in the same city, and there are many knowledge, which can be used for reference.
