As the saying goes, "If a poor man does not cut down three kinds of trees, his descendants will be blessed."How reasonable?
Nowadays, the environmental protection policy is very strict, trees cannot be cut down, even if farmers have their own trees in the mountains, they must be approved before they can be cut down, which shows that the state attaches great importance to greening the environment.
But for the common people, even if the state does not stipulate which tree to cut, even if it does not stipulate which tree to cut, there is a saying: the poor do not cut down three kinds of trees, and future generations should bless this sentence, then if they do not cut down, the poor have no choice, and the common people will not move the three kinds of trees, so in the end, which three kinds of trees, why can't the poor cut them?Let's take a look today, after all, it still has certain characteristics, this sentence really makes sense, it has no scientific basis.
The locust tree is the easiest for us to come into contact with, and the locust flower must be a locust flower, because the locust flower can be eaten, so even if you are not a countryman, there are locust trees outside every house, and you have to eat locust flowers.
Because the ingredients of acacia flowers are very extensive, not only can they be used to make honey from acacia flowers and other flowers, but they can also be made into acacia porridge, acacia rice, and can also be rolled into buns, dumplings, pancakes, etc.;If it is made into a dish, acacia flowers are more common in people's scrambled egg dishes, and there is no difference between other commonly eaten boiled, boiled, and stir-fried.
According to scientific research, acacia has bactericidal and antioxidant effects, and also has a good effect on cardiovascular diseases. You know, the aborigines rarely have antimicrobial drugs, which is the biggest harvest for mankind.
Of course, not only does the acacia produce flowers that are beneficial to humans, but its leaves, branches, fruits and even roots have good medicinal properties and are often used as Chinese herbal medicine. Of course, people are reluctant to cut down such a good tree, but people don't cut it just for this reason, there are deeper reasons why people don't dare to cut it.
In fact, there is such a saying in the folk that the locust tree is a tree with a spirit in the tree, and it is the embodiment of the undead, so people generally dare not interfere with it, because they often play with the undead, so that the undead are punished, even if they cannot be incarnated in themselves, it will have a bad impact on the descendants.
Therefore, no matter from the point of view of practical value or superstition, people will not cut down a locust tree, even if they are poor, they will not cut down a locust tree, because this will not only be punished by the undead, but also for the children and grandchildren who are left behind, the locust tree is a precious tree species that can be eaten, and it is a medicinal material.
If you have eaten elderberry rice, you will know the elderberry tree, because the so-called elderberry rice is the fruit of the elderberry tree, round and flat, like a very copper coin, and the elderberry rice is named because of the fruit of the elderberry tree.
Compared with the locust tree, the elm tree mostly does not bloom, in addition to the elm money we eat, there is also the bark that is ground into powder, called elm powder, people can eat the bark in famine years, but elm powder is indeed different from the bark of other trees, because it contains starch, so even if there is no famine year, it can be used as a staple food and pasta and or flour for people.
In addition to the young fruit and bark, the most useful value of the elm tree for people is as wood, because the elm tree is very hard, can be used as furniture and building materials, and is very durable, making it a very good wood. In addition, elm fruit is rich in oil and can be refined.
Since it is timber, then the possibility of cutting it can only expand from time to time, but why does the proverb say that even if a person is poor, he cannot cut an elm tree, this must be due to the symbolism of the elm tree, because the fruit of the elm tree is like a very good copper coin, when the fruit period comes, when people see the tree, the elm tree is a symbol of wealth, and cutting down the elm tree is like seeing a tree full of copper coins, so the elm tree is a copper coin, it is like seeing a tree full of copper coins, which makes the alder tree a symbol of wealth. Seeing a tree full of copper coins falling to the ground, it is as if the family's wealth has decreased, which makes people feel uncomfortable, so they generally do not cut elm trees.
Of course, the edible value of the elm tree, combined with the poor ability of the indigenous people to cope with natural changes, still makes people feel that the elm tree can still help children and grandchildren survive in a disaster year.
If the value of these three trees is concerned, the willow tree is probably the most valuable.
However, since the first two trees are edible, the willow is not so brightly colored, but strangely, people still do not cut it easily. Because it can't be eaten, it looks beautiful and has a good meaning, so there are many verses about willows in ancient poems, such as those describing willows, which are beautiful in themselves:"The jasper is made into a tree high, and ten thousand green silk ribbons hang down", meaning love:"The willow silk is soft, and the smoke is sorrowful"...Wait a minute.
In addition to being used as material for poets, the aborigines also adopted his rhythm, named the willow tree, and bid farewell to the deceased with the love fable of the small leaf willow. The willow tree not only has such a simple morality, but also has certain practical value, such as it can be woven into wicker baskets, its leaves can be used as fodder for sheep, and its trunk can be used as furniture.
Compared with locust trees and elm trees, these effects are always somewhat insufficient, so that willow trees are widely planted near lakes to ward off plague or appearance, it plays the role of strengthening embankments, and it is indispensable for people to beautify gardens and parks.
Maybe it's because the willow tree is so beautiful in people's minds, it is regarded as a symbol of beauty, cutting down the willow tree is destroying the beauty, they don't want to leave the beauty to their children and grandchildren, so that their children and grandchildren can see the beauty of the willow tree every spring, it is precisely because of this mentality that people regard not cutting the willow tree as the inheritance of the blessing of their children and grandchildren.
If the poor do not cut down three kinds of trees, their children and grandchildren will be blessed"。This sentence is not only superstitious, but also very practical, and even under the premise of being edible, it can be applied and left to their children and grandchildren, so that they can be pampered in the spring, full of food all day long, and enjoy the blessings of the willow tree, which is a very beautiful picture, which can be the simplest explanation for sustainable development, for the future, let's not cut down willow trees. This is perhaps the simplest explanation for sustainable development. Since there is a future, it would be even sadder if we left something for our children.
