There are two types of trees that were considered by ancient people as nourishing trees. Planting these trees in the house will help nourish fortunes and bring good luck to the homeowners, help their children excel in their studies, be obedient and filial, and cultivate their character. Therefore, the family will thrive.

Ginkgo tree

The ginkgo tree is a medicinal plant in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Nowadays, ginkgo is widely planted as a raw material in the pharmaceutical industry. This is because ginkgo is rich in rutin, which is good for cardiovascular health.

In the past, ginkgo trees were planted in front of houses to nourish people, take care of their health, and symbolize prosperity and good luck.

There is a legend that ginkgo trees are related to career success. There was a father who planted 3 ginkgo trees in front of his house to pray for his son to pass the imperial examinations and become an official. Later, one of his sons achieved the third highest rank in the court, among the top three officials. From then on, it was believed that planting ginkgo trees in front of the house would attract fortune and help their children achieve success. In many dynasties, ginkgo trees were also planted in front of the imperial court with a set of 3 trees representing the top 3 highest positions in the court. In folk beliefs, planting ginkgo trees in front of the house is believed to bring wealth and prosperity, help their children grow up healthy and successful, and make them good and talented.

Ginkgo trees are easy to grow and can live for many years, making them even more valuable when planted in front of the house to attract wealth and prosperity for the family and future generations.

However, because of the above reasons, it is believed that ginkgo trees must be planted in front of the house for feng shui purposes. Planting them behind the house will cause trouble. This is because blessings do not enter through the urgent door, and fortune does not come through the side door. Ginkgo trees symbolize righteousness, career success, and fortune, so they must be planted in front of the house, on the main path, not through the back door, side door, or urgent door.

Peony tree

The peony tree is one of the precious flowers that used to only be found in rich households, not in poor ones.

The peony tree symbolizes wealth, elegance, and prosperity, and represents protection and support. Planting a peony tree in the house shows power and prosperity for the family. Large and beautiful peony flowers bring a sense of wealth and grandeur, like the daughters of kings and nobles, descendants, and imperial consorts.

The peony tree becomes more valuable the longer it grows in the garden. Peony trees can live for hundreds of years, making them a heirloom tree in the house.

Planting peony trees in the house attracts fortune, brings luck, and hopes for the success and prosperity of their children. For daughters, it brings beauty and luck, and bestows many blessings. For sons, it brings talent and academic success.

Peony trees not only represent prosperity but also symbolize the survival of the clan and the protection of the Buddhas.

Therefore, in the past, people often planted peony trees in front of the house to bring good luck and demonstrate their wealth and prestige. The peony is a noble and elegant flower, so those who are born into families with peonies inherit great blessings.
