Generally, housewarming presents four kinds of gifts: chopping board, rice spoon, lantern and cloth bag.

Chopboard: It means "peace and security". The chopping board is a tool for cutting vegetables, which means that life in the new residence is stable and everything is safe. Rice spoon: it means "sufficient food". Rice spoon is a tool for scooping rice, indicating that the new house is rich and well-fed. Lantern: It means "the sun is wide open", and lanterns can illuminate every night, which means that the new house is brightly lit and auspicious. Bag: It means "money is rolling in", and the bag is a tool for holding money, which means that the wealth of the new home life is constant and the wealth is prosperous.

In China culture, giving gifts is a way to express greetings and care. This is a very common gift, from a red envelope to a set of furniture. When moving, many people will choose to send some practical items in life, such as some decorations or furniture supplies. Such a gift will directly express the care and help of the giver.

Precautions for housewarming

1, choose an auspicious day.

After going through a lot of hardships to move to a new home, it is natural to choose an auspicious day. You can ask a professional "sir" to help you choose. If you are confident, you can look it up in the almanac yourself. When choosing the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is also necessary to screen whether there is any conflict between the ecliptic of the family.

2. Before sunset in the afternoon.

The best time to move is in the early morning, which means full of vigor and vitality. Some people choose to move at noon, but it must be before sunset in the afternoon. It is not advisable to move after sunset, because it is dusk and night, which has no good meaning.

3. You can't enter the door empty-handed.

At the housewarming ceremony, all the people who come in can't go home empty-handed. People carrying lanterns walk in front, representing the guiding light. Followed by the stove, representing the generation. Some people can hold rice jars to show that they are not worried about food and clothing. Others hold quilts, red envelopes, bank cards, melons and fruits, fish and the like, which means thriving, having more than one year, Changchun in all seasons and so on.
