What is the meaning of the arborvitae tree?

Arborvitae is one of the tree species widely used in landscaping and is often planted in temples, tombs and gardens. For example, there are still many arborvitae planted in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. The large arborvitae echoes with the surrounding buildings, creating a quiet and serious atmosphere, and cleverly expresses the theme of the earth and sky being connected. In our folk customs, the homophony of cypress means "hundred", which means "hundred" covers everything, such as Pepsi, Bainiao, etc. Platycladus orientalis is also regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness, and can be seen in many auspicious patterns. The combination of cypress and Ruyi patterns means everything goes well. Planting arborvitae at the door can block evil spirits and bring us wealth. Platycladus arborvitae is a very long-lived tree that can live for hundreds of years. Therefore, another meaning of orientalis orientalis is longevity and it also symbolizes everlasting greenness. In many cemeteries, we will see Platycladus arborvitae planted. The main purpose is to let the deceased sleep forever.
