Second, Flowers and Trees
The outer part of courtyard-style residences. The wonderful combination of flowers, trees, rockeries, and streams in the courtyard, with reasonable layout, can make the entire residence's Feng Shui more beneficial to the physical and mental health of the residents and the prosperity of the family, so the grass and trees in the courtyard are also an important means of Feng Shui assistance.
Planting large trees in the courtyard is a major taboo in Feng Shui, and their practical value is not high, with many inconveniences. Summarizing, there are roughly the following unfavorable factors:
(1) Planting large trees in the courtyard will inevitably affect lighting. Tall trees will block windows and doors, obstructing sunlight from entering the room, making the interior dark and damp, which is not conducive to the health of the residents.
(2) Planting large trees in the courtyard also affects good ventilation, hindering the circulation of fresh air between the residence and the courtyard, leading to the inability to quickly remove humidity and stale air, making the living environment dark and damp, which is not conducive to health.
(3) Large trees should not be planted in the courtyard because they have vigorous root growth and absorb a lot of water, easily damaging the foundation and affecting the safety of the residence.
(4) Traditionally, it is believed that tall trees can easily extend their roots under the house, interfering with the stability of the foundation. Whether the tree roots grow or die under the house, it poses a potential threat to the safety of the house.
(5) If large trees are planted in the courtyard, the area occupied by the tree itself is not small. This will make the courtyard appear narrow. On the other hand, with many leaves, once the wind blows, the fallen leaves cover the ground, making cleaning difficult, affecting hygiene and aesthetics.
(6) In ancient times, planting trees in the courtyard was more about appreciation than practical value. Nowadays, it's the opposite. Besides being used for drying clothes and cooling off, the courtyard is also a great place for entertainment and gatherings. Benefiting from the 'Twelfth Five-Year Plan', smart homes are ushering in a spring of development. If large trees are planted in the courtyard, it will reduce the activity space, making it very inconvenient. Some flowers can be planted in the courtyard, not only as decoration but also as a source of pleasure. Spending time pruning or watering plants every morning and evening is also a healthy exercise, especially beneficial for the elderly, enhancing longevity.
People who like flowers and plants can design a courtyard garden, but it requires skill and proper layout to captivate and please the eye.
Even without large trees, a uniquely designed courtyard garden can still create an artistic effect of "a hidden village beyond the willows," making people linger.
