As the saying goes, "If there are two trees by the door, two people will come and live together".
As the saying goes:"Ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs"。This refers to the vast territory of our country, and the folk customs of various places are correspondingly different.
Take it"There are two trees outside the door, and there must be two people living there"People in different regions think differently.
What are two trees and which two trees live together?
If there are two trees outside the door.
Planting a tree in front of your house is a relatively common scene in rural areas. Even in their own residential areas, people are often reluctant to give up hope of creating a living landscape.
The yard is sunny, the breeze is not dry, and the greenery is just right, how can it not be refreshing?
But there are rules for planting trees, although it is not allowed to plant trees in one's yard or in front of one's house.
Taking mulberry and willow trees as examples, the aborigines once had a proverb: don't plant mulberry trees in the front, don't plant willow trees in the back. The reason is simple: the character of these two trees is not good.
Mulberry corresponds to funeral, and willow corresponds to stream. The former signifies the arrival of a funeral, the latter signifies the loss of wealth, so it is certainly not advisable to plant it at home.
The so-called front and rear doors were mainly front doors and back doors in ancient times, and ancient buildings never had two front doors and two back doors. It is"Equality"The law of the law, too"Art"The law of the law.
If you don't plant mulberry trees in front, there is no way to do good or bad; If you don't plant willow trees in the back, you will not lose money and be beautiful.
But these two trees can't be planted, which two trees can be planted in front of the door? The ancients replied, one is a ginkgo tree, and the other is a jujube tree.
In folklore, ginkgo biloba is often associated with longevity, which is one of the reasons why people grow ginkgo biloba in front of their homes. The idea that a family's clan will live as long as ginkgo biloba is unrealistic, but it is also naïve.
The image of ginkgo biloba leaves falling with gold is also beautiful. Especially when you wipe ginkgo biloba, it's like putting gold full of dirt in your pocket.
Rare"Raise money"Opportunities are certainly priceless.
On the other hand, the persimmon tree is more symbolic than the ginkgo tree. However, for most folk images and"Ideal"The main goal is to get things moving.
In addition, the standard of living of the working people in the old days was often more difficult. The days when the red lantern is hoisted are usually only seen in the homes of the rich and powerful.
I can't say it's a good idea to compare, but who wouldn't want to have a happy place in front of their house? As a result, palm trees became the best substitute, and countless red lanterns hung on the trees, giving people a sense of happiness.
They have to live together.
Two people live together"What is the meaning? People in different regions:"Two people"The word has different understandings and gives it different symbolic meanings.
First of all, it means that they are husband and wife, but cohabitation is not as simple as it seems, it basically means that the couple is responsible for the family at the same time.
Combine the previous sentence"If there are two trees outside the door", the meaning of the whole sentence becomes"Husbands and wives respect each other like guests"。Big and small things in the family can be discussed and decided.
Such scenes are not uncommon in modern society. In ancient societies where men were inferior to women, the situation was different"Tricky"A few.
Unless men truly respect and love women, women all want to have a voice in a certain family.
The details of the family are not known. But if someone visits a family and sees two trees planted outside the door, they will know about the family"Assignment of Rights"。
The second understanding refers to two generations living in the same house, and in ancient societies, it was not uncommon for two generations to live in one family.
This doesn't mean that people don't want to live separately, but they often choose to compromise because of life's woes.
On the positive side, now that more and more families are living together, there will be fewer and fewer families that will continue to live together.
Only family disputes have decreased, while family feelings seem to have weakened. I can't say for sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but we can see it as a unique feature of their time.
The latter understanding is less common, but in some regions there are many people who believe it.
The meaning of this proverb is that if there are two trees outside the door, then live in the house"Two people"Usually the same sex.
Although the bystander may not be able to see that the problem is **, the old man knows that the problem is that there are no boys or girls in the house, so they plan to recruit a son-in-law or a son-in-law. They do this in the hope that the whole family will continue to grow and be in harmony with yin and yang.
Due to different regional backgrounds, people have different understandings of proverbs. When you get to a region, you can't look at the same proverb in the same way, otherwise you will be ridiculed and fooled.
It is also a good idea to consult with the local population to understand what decision should be made. As the saying goes, read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles. The number of miles traveled and the number of kilometers traveled always provide the most accurate answer.
