In ancient China, mulberry and catalpa bungeana were two kinds of trees closely related to people's lives. Mulberry leaves can be used to raise silkworms, fruits can be eaten and brewed, trunks and branches can be used to make utensils, bark can be used to make paper, and leaves, fruits, branches, roots and skins can all be used as medicine.
The young leaves of catalpa are edible, and the skin is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine (called white skin of catalpa). The wood is light, soft and antiseptic, and it is an exquisite material for making furniture, musical instruments and coffins. In addition, Catalpa bungeana is a fast-growing tree species, which was often used as firewood in ancient times.
It is precisely because mulberry and catalpa are closely related to people's food, clothing, housing and transportation that ancient people often plant mulberry and catalpa in front of and behind their houses, and people often have respect for mulberry and catalpa planted by their parents and ancestors.
In addition, in ancient China, family cemeteries were mostly built near mulberry forests, and catalpa trees were often planted in front of the graves of the deceased. Over time, mulberry has become a symbol of hometown, and "mulberry" has become synonymous with hometown.

Fly to the monkey genus. I am alone in the valley. What happened to heaven? What crime have I committed? What is the trouble of the heart?
When you walk around, dysprosium is a lush grassland. I feel sad and embarrassed. Sleep and sigh, worry and grow old. Worry in the heart is like a disease.
Wei Sang and Zi Shu must be respectful. I am afraid of my father, but I am afraid of my mother. Does not belong to Mao? Don't get involved? God gave birth to me, and I'm here?
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. For example, a boat is floating. I don't know what I want to do. I'm worried and don't want to take a nap.
Running deer, Weizu geisha. When the pheasant is in the morning, it is still looking for its female bird. For example, bad wood, I will use it without branches. You'd better know when you are worried.
It's better to vote for a rabbit than to vote for a rabbit. There are dead people in the team, or not. A gentleman holds his heart and endures it. My worries are gone, and my tears are gone.
A gentleman trusts, such as or rewards. A gentleman is not profitable and does not relax. Logs are enough, and salary analysis is enough. Give it to the guilty.
Mogao bandit mountain, Mogen bandit spring. A gentleman has nothing to say, but his ears are on the sidelines. I am not lost, and I am not lost. Since it's not me, who will care about the future?
Translation:
How happy Western jackdaw in the west is flapping its wings, and how Anxian flies back in droves. Everyone in the world is lucky, but I am deeply worried. I don't know what offended heaven. I don't know why sin is boundless. I am depressed in my heart and don't know how to get rid of it.
The originally wide and flat avenue has long been blocked by weeds. I am deeply sad in my heart, and I am like a pestle. I lay in my clothes and sighed long. Years are so deep that it is easier for people to get old. The deep sadness accumulated in my heart is like stinging my brain.
When you see the mulberry planted by your parents, you still have to stand in front of it respectfully. Who is full of respect for his father and who is deeply attached to his mother! Today, it is not connected with the fur outside, and it is not closely connected with the intimate flesh and blood inside. God, you gave birth to me. When will my luck change?
The weeping willows by the pool are thick and green, and the cicadas on the branches hiss. How deep the river bend is, there is no bottom, reeds and lush. My heart is like that boat, I don't know where it will eventually drift. I can't help feeling sad inside, but I don't have time to lie down and get dressed for a moment.
Look at the deer running in Yuan Ye. Its four calves are so slow and dexterous. Beautiful pheasants sing in the early morning, not just to attract their favorite females. My heart is like that dead tree, because it has lost all its branches. I can't help feeling sad, can't I have a bosom friend?
Look, the rabbit threw itself into the net, and a kind person helped it out. Suddenly someone fell on the thoroughfare and died, and a kind person buried his body. My king, your attitude is so hard-hearted, I can't help feeling sad inside, and my tears are falling on the dust.
My king, listening to rumors, is a heavy drinker. My king ignored me, ignored me, and slanderers didn't delve into it. Cutting trees still depends on the crown to prevent crushing, and cutting wood still depends on the grain. My king set the sinners free and clothed me in the black clothes of a prisoner.
There is no higher mountain, and there is no deeper spring. My king, don't believe slanderers, but beware of ears sticking to the wall. Don't go to the Liangba where I fish, and don't steal my fish basket. I can't even take care of myself now, so I can't take care of Pepsi behind me!
