What does the folk saying ‘3 no planting in front of the tomb, 4 no placing on the bed’ mean?

Feng Shui belief says that for any arrangement of houses or graves, it is very important for the fate of the family. The ancients had a saying: “Do not plant 3 things in front of the grave, do not place 4 things on the bed,” let’s find out.

What is “Do not plant 3 things in front of the grave”?

Bizarre-shaped plants

According to Feng Shui experts, when choosing plants for graves, avoid plants with bizarre shapes, insects, or withering. These plants will bring a sense of aggression and horror to the grave of ancestors, making it even more creepy and eerie. The living should not also keep these plants around the grave as they will create a gloomy and lonely atmosphere, affecting the fate of descendants.

Avoid planting unbalanced plants

According to Feng Shui, when planting trees at the grave of ancestors, the principle of symmetry between left and right needs to be ensured. This means that the homeowner should plant symmetrical pairs of trees. Plants should not be planted based on intuition. If the homeowner plants unbalanced trees on the left or right of the grave, it will create a phenomenon of ancestral spirits responding negatively, adversely affecting the prosperity of future generations. Furthermore, planting miscellaneous trees based on intuition is also the cause of a series of mysterious and inexplicable events in the house. Feng Shui experts advise homeowners to plant trees behind the grave to create a solid foundation.

Planting trees behind the grave symbolizes that future generations will receive plentiful blessings from their ancestors. Each branch that grows above the grave is like a protective hand from ancestors, bringing fortune to descendants.

Avoid planting straight-rooted trees too close to meridians

According to Feng Shui experts, straight roots are easier to grow than clustered roots, but for straight roots, they should not be planted too close to meridians because planting in this way, the tree’s roots will grow into the meridians. According to Feng Shui, this is a taboo that is not good for the deceased and seriously affects future generations.

4 items not to be placed on the bed

Deceased’s photos

According to Feng Shui, it is not advisable to place the photo of the deceased at the head of the bed even if you miss that person a lot because it will create shadows, haunting dreams, which are not good for health and sleep.

For convenience in ancestor worship, offerings and ceremonies, the homeowner should place the deceased’s photo in a peaceful and clean place or in the living room.

Mirrors

In bedroom Feng Shui, it is noted that you should not place the mirror at the head of the bed or facing the bed, especially for the elderly or people with shadowy conditions, it is not good.

The elderly cannot sleep deeply, often awake at midnight, if they wake up in a state of unconsciousness and see their blurry image in the mirror, it is guaranteed that they will be very scared, then become worried and anxious, and easily get sick.

Knives, swords

Knives and swords are taboo items in the bedroom because they have heavy negative energy, easily cause work pressure, headaches, restlessness, and even injury if accidentally touched.

Many people have a hobby of collecting knives and swords and consider it a pleasure in life. They even hang them by the bed for “convenient viewing”. However, Feng Shui prohibits hanging those things in the bedroom, especially at the head of the bed because it makes you sleep with work pressure, headaches, restlessness, and unlucky events in your work.

Statues of Buddha, deities should not be placed at the head of the bed

From a religious point of view, placing statues of deities and Buddha at the head of the bed is a taboo because it shows a lack of reverence. According to Feng Shui, it means “hiding” wealth, luck, making your career unable to prosper, always staying at an average level.
