Should big trees be planted in the courtyard

Traditional Feng Shui believes that planting trees in the center of the courtyard will form a "sleepy" character, which will affect people's fortune. According to the analysis of Feng Shui theory, it also makes some sense. In the early agricultural society of our country, the courtyard was used for drying rice , and if there was a tree in it, of course it would block the sun. The roots of the tree will damage the flat courtyard, hinder the drying of the grain and the arrangement of the grain, so there is a saying that trees should not be in the courtyard.

Flowers, grass, and trees are originally the spirits born in the land, and they are the sign of a piece of land. However, improper planting, especially planting some tall trees, will have a negative impact on the practical functions of the courtyard, as well as people's health and life.

Generally speaking, the practical value of planting big trees in the courtyard is not high, but there are many inconveniences. In summary, there are roughly the following disadvantages:

★Planting big trees in the courtyard will inevitably affect the lighting. Tall trees will block doors and windows and prevent sunlight from entering the room, making the house dark and humid, which is not conducive to the health of the occupants.

★Planting big trees in the courtyard also affects good ventilation and hinders the flow of fresh air between the house and the courtyard, resulting in indoor humidity and stale air that cannot be removed as soon as possible, making the residential environment damp and unhealthy.

★Large trees are not allowed to be planted in the courtyard, because the roots of big trees are strong and absorb much water, which can easily damage the foundation and affect the safety of the house.

★If large trees are planted in the courtyard, the large tree itself occupies a large area, as a result, the courtyard will appear narrow. On the other hand, there are many big leaves, and once the wind blows, the fallen leaves are all over the ground. It is not easy to clean, which will affect hygiene and viewing.

★In ancient times, planting trees in the courtyard was more important for viewing than practical value. Now, it is the opposite. In addition to drying clothes and enjoying the shade, the courtyard is also a good place for play and reunion. If large trees are planted in the courtyard, the activity space will be reduced, which is very inconvenient.

Large trees are not suitable for planting in the courtyard, but it does not mean that other plants cannot be planted. If you want to plant trees in the courtyard, it is better to plant some small trees to increase the beauty of the environment.

In addition, some flowers and plants can be planted in the courtyard, which is not only an ornament, but also a kind of fun. Taking time out every morning and evening to trim flowers and trees or weed and irrigate is also a healthy activity and can increase the life of the elderly. Those who like flowers and trees can design a courtyard garden, but the layout must be appropriate, fascinating and pleasing to the eye. A courtyard garden with a unique pattern without big trees can also create the artistic effect of "willows and flowers in a bright and bright village", which makes people linger.
