There are many major events in life, and "birth, old age, sickness, and death" are four things that we cannot overcome in our lives. In the face of life, we can choose different lifestyles. However, in the face of death, there seems to be nothing left, and for other options, the ancients had a saying: "Death is like life". After death, people must return to their origins, and the ancients still buried the members of the same family together, so when building. cemetery, there will be a lot of problems. Attention, the ancients said: There are three trees growing next to the grave, and there are many people in the family, do you know what it means?
Cypress. Just past the Qingming Festival, the country held a public commemorative ceremony in the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, on the bridge mountain where the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is located, more than 80,000 cypress trees were planted, it can be said that it is the forest and the most famous two cypress trees, one is the Emperor Wu hanging cypress, the other is the Yellow Emperor's hand planting cypress, all have a history of thousands of years.
In ancient times, people mostly lived together, and after the efforts of several generations, many wealthy families were created, such as the Lanling Xiao family, the Hongnong Yang family, the Taiyuan Wang family, the Qinghe Cui family, etc. 。etc。They are all big families in ancient times, no matter their children and grandchildren go to become officials, the people of those families will eventually return to their roots and be buried in their ancestral graves. Pay close attention to the surrounding construction, and hope that the family will be long-term and prosperous.
The meaning of the cypress tree is eternity, representing eternal happiness, evergreen career, and lifelong wealth, and the same as the family cemetery, the cemetery must also carry certain expectations, so when planting cypress trees, it must be hope. Ancestors can ensure the long-term prosperity of the family, and the ancients believed that "the great affairs of the country lie in the worship of the army". In other words, fighting a war is just as important as worshipping ancestors. Because the place where ancestors rest after death is as important as worshipping ancestors. Planting cypress is not only a symbol of respect for ancestors, but also a symbol of respect for ancestors, and an expectation for the prosperity of the family.
Mulberry box. The ancients built cemeteries, in addition to hoping for the long-term prosperity of the family, there is also respect for the ancestors, and respect for the elderly is also one of the virtues inherited by the Chinese nation.

In ancient cultures, the mulberry tree also symbolizes the primitive life of ancient ancestors, as well as the tenacious and stoic character, which is a representative of endless life. The old ancestors did not do well, didn't they just work tirelessly for the lives of future generations? Isn't the legacy of future generations to inherit the mantle of ancestors? Planting mulberry trees near the cemetery is not only a sign of respect for the deceased ancestors, but also represents the inheritance of their fur, how beautiful it is!
Willow. 
The ancients also planted willows near the cemetery, and many people were very confused, in fact, the poem said: "Why does the Qiang Di complain about the willows? The spring breeze does not reach the Yumen Pass". The willow tree is synonymous with spring and for all of us. Everything that our ancestors did was for the sake of future generations, and we will always live in the sun, no longer suffering from poverty and war, forever in the spring.
The willow tree also symbolizes the nostalgia for the deceased, according to legend, after the Duke of Jin Wen ordered people to set fire to the mountain, he was very sad, and asked the people of the whole country to sacrifice Jie Zitui. Jie Zi Tui sacrificed Jie Zi Tui during the Cold Food Festival, and Jie Zi Tui found that last year's willow tree was resurrected this year, so he named it Qingming Willow to express his nostalgia for Jie Zi Tui.
In addition to the above meanings, the willow tree also symbolizes a bright future, retention, after the ancients became famous, many people will choose to return to their hometown, see the willow tree in their hometown, and return to their hometown. And planted willow trees. It not only represents the reluctance and restraint of the death of the ancestors, but also represents the strong determination to contribute to the family, and it is a beautiful symbol of double meaning.

To do this, in order to take one's family to the next level, one must work hard, and the success of every family is not simple.
