The moral of mulberries

The implication of mulberry in ancient times is closely related to people's life in ancient China, so the image of mulberry appears frequently in literary works. In these works, Mulberry is no longer a natural Mulberry, but is endowed with more social and cultural contents: Mulberry not only symbolizes the primitive life and fertility of ancient ancestors, but also symbolizes the sweet and sad love between men and women; It is not only the embodiment of auspiciousness, but also the symbol of death and sadness, which not only reveals the strong sense of homeland of the ancients, but also symbolizes the eternity of time. If we carefully observe the rich meaning of mulberry in China's ancient literature and art, we can get a glimpse of the mythical poetic dwelling of ancient China ancestors.

What does Mulberry mean in Feng Shui? You can't plant mulberry trees like that. It is because of the homophonic sound of mulberry and mourning that you are afraid of bad luck when you go out to see mulberry (mourning).

What's the point of having mulberry trees in front of and behind the house? "Don't plant mulberry trees before, willow trees after, and ghosts in the yard don't clap their hands." I'm talking about three other taboo trees besides Wuyin, namely mulberry, willow and poplar. "Sang" means "mourning" and is an unknown sound. It's a taboo tree of Yang Zhai. Willow branches are generally used for "evoking souls" and "mourning sticks", and willow branches are often used to be inserted on graves, which is unlucky to plant in the house. There are many poplar leaves, and when the wind blows, it will rattle, just like a ghost clapping its hands. Nothing during the day, but at night, the shadows of the leaves are swaying and the sound is crisp, which is very scary. After a long time, it will definitely affect people's hearts and cause bad consequences.

Mulberry trees are not conducive to feng shui. There is a custom in our hometown: mulberry trees can't be planted in the yard. Because "mulberry and mourning" are homophonic, there are old people in the family who are particularly taboo. I suggest you plant other trees!

The Legend of Mulberry 1 At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the emperor fled for his life along the coast. Due to the shortage of rations, the soldiers were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to walk. At this time, they came to a small village in the back, and Tong Huang had to ask everyone to rest on the spot. He suddenly found a big mulberry tree in front of him, covered with a bunch of purple, black and purple mulberry seeds, and climbed up the tree with a loud cry. Hundreds of soldiers surrounded him, eating sour and sweet mulberry seeds. At that time, the military situation greatly improved. The son emperor said, "Mulberry saved us and will repay us in the future." Hearing this, Mulberry shook her head happily. Since then, I have been dreaming day after day, waiting for the reward of the emperor every day.

Mulberry waited year after year, but still didn't get the reward from the emperor. Mulberry is anxious and angry, and fire hurts the liver. Mulberry's heart was finally burned out and shattered.

Now, no matter how big and tall the mulberry tree is, despite its beautiful appearance, its heart is always empty. Therefore, there is a saying in Chaozhou: "No matter how big the mulberry tree is, it will be made of wood."

Did you find a crack in the mulberry tree called "gas explosion"? Legend has it that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu gave gas.

At that time, Wang Mang usurped the throne and became emperor. In order to eliminate future troubles, he sent troops to kill Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu fled the capital and ran straight ahead. Suddenly, he saw a farmer plowing the land. There was a horse and a mule in front of him. He used his quick wits, lurked in the ditch, and pursued troops here. He couldn't find Liu Xiu, so he looked around and asked, "Did you see where Liu Xiu was hiding?" An eagle in the sky heard this and said, "In the furrow, in the furrow!" " "The magpie with a ponytail, which is nesting in the tree, heard this and shouted gloatingly," Fight! Fight! The old crow is kind-hearted, honest and frank, and sympathizes with Liu Xiu who was killed. In order to save Liu Xiu from the pursuers, he shouted, "Nonsense! Nonsense! " The pursuer listened to the crow and walked to the front. At that time, people called the emperor "the son of heaven". The eagle and the horsetail magpie framed the son of heaven and offended the jade emperor. God punished the eagle for natural death and was divided by the eagle when he died. Magpie with horsetail can't drink water in the dog days, and is bald with thirst; The crow was very kind to Liu Xiu and let him die naturally. When he is old, the crow eats food and feeds it back to death. There is an old saying: "crows have the grace to feed back, not to mention people!" "That's what I'm talking about.

Besides, Liu Xiu was hungry and tired after running for several days and nights. On this day, Liu Xiu ran and felt black at the moment. He fell headlong under a mulberry tree by the roadside. This time is the season when mulberry trees mature. A gust of wind blew and the mulberry trees fell all over the floor. Several of them just fell into Liu Xiu's mouth. Liu Xiujue is sour and sweet. After getting up, he looked at the mulberry falling from the tree and was busy picking it up and having a good meal. When people get help in trouble, they are often grateful. When Liu Xiu left, she swore to the mulberry tree: "When I become king in the future, I will be the tree king!" "

Later, Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang and became emperor. He never forgot his oath and led the ministers to the place where they were saved by eating mulberries and held a tree sealing ceremony. It's winter, all the leaves have fallen, and all the trees look the same. Liu Xiu was also careless. Without arguing whether it was true or not, she sealed the Toona sinensis tree that grew on the mulberry side. Since then, Toona sinensis has grown tall and fast and is respected by people. Liu Xiu mistakenly sealed the tree king, and the mulberry tree became more and more angry. Finally, anger broke out, leaving a crack and becoming a "broken belly". At that time, willows also grew beside mulberry trees. It was wronged and angry with mulberry trees. Mulberry twisted with anger and became a "waist twist". It is really "the reward and punishment are unknown, and there is no injustice."
