Why can't you move in the first month?

It is best not to move for the first month.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that you can't move to a new home in the first month. In Zhejiang province, January and September are also forbidden to move, which is considered as unlucky months. According to feng shui, the first month is cold. If you move into a new house in the first month, the cold atmosphere will destroy the prosperity of your home.

It is said that the first month is the season to welcome the Spring Festival. Everyone is busy burning incense to worship their ancestors, but they have little leisure to prepare for moving, and the first month of the lunar calendar is very taboo, which may ruin their wealth. But there are no such strict requirements now. If it is a good day on the old calendar, then it can be carried out with confidence.

The custom of housewarming:

It is necessary to smoke every corner of the room with wormwood or sandalwood, and open the window for ventilation to create a good living environment. Don't forget to offer sacrifices to your ancestors, prepare sacrifices according to local customs, and then at dusk, in the back door or kitchen, worship the owner of the homestead and pray for good fortune in the future.

No matter before moving into a new house or after entering a house, it is best to set off a string of firecrackers to show the meaning of celebration, but it is forbidden to set off high-altitude parabolic objects on the balcony, otherwise it will cause security risks.
