Is there a contradiction between the two old rural sayings "I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo" and "Don't plant bamboo in front of my door"?
We did hear some old sayings when we lived in the countryside, but we also found that even some old sayings were self-contradictory. For example, as the saying goes, a good horse never returns to the grass, and as the saying goes, a prodigal son never changes his gold. Then you must make a choice. This is the case with two common sayings. It is better to eat without meat, not to live without bamboo, and not to plant bamboo in front of the door. So what do they mean respectively?

It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. It means I would rather not eat meat than live with bamboo. This sentence comes from Su Shi's Yu Qian monk Lu Yunxuan. Su Shi likes bamboo very much, not only because it is the four gentlemen, symbolizing good quality, but also because it regards bamboo as a friend and has high requirements for living environment. Bamboo represents otherworldly, fresh and elegant.

The meaning of not planting bamboo in front of the door is also easy to understand, that is, not planting bamboo in front of the door or house. This actually takes into account its real living environment. If you plant bamboo in front of the door, because bamboo is tall and evergreen all the year round, it will definitely block the sunlight, resulting in less indoor light and heavier humidity. Secondly, if the bamboo is dense, it may attract snakes, rats and other things, which will affect the safety of residents. Therefore, practical safety factors are fully considered.

Of course, if you want to beautify the environment, planting bamboo is a good choice, because bamboo can be evergreen all year round and bring people beautiful enjoyment. If you are in a bad mood, seeing these bamboos will naturally help to adjust your mood. If you don't plant bamboo, it is also suitable for safety reasons. There are other tree species to choose from. Some fruit trees are good choices, such as peach trees, orange trees and persimmon trees. You can kill two birds with one stone by enjoying it in flowering period and harvesting it in fruit period.
