Is there any custom in moving to a new house in China?

(1) Before moving in (moving), you should prepare the following six daily necessities:

1 .meter: Fill a "rice bucket" with eight meters. Put a red envelope in the rice barrel, which contains paper money, tea leaves and nine copper coins.

2. Water: divide water into seven parts in a "bucket" (water should be taken from the "old residence").

3. Chopsticks: Prepare a new set of chopsticks for everyone in the family.

A pair of dustpan and broom with red cloth.

Prepare a new set of underwear, pillows and sheets for everyone in the family.

6. Old stoves, pots and fans.

When moving, the above six daily necessities should be moved into the kitchen of the new house at the selected auspicious time, and then other items can be moved into the new house. If you are afraid of acclimatization after moving, you can also bring a piece of soil and ginger from your old house to your new house. Those who want to travel abroad with some rice and soil are heard to be quite effective in restraining acclimatization. Before moving out of the old house, you should leave an "old wallet" in the room and put five coins in it. Leave "two eggs" and "a red envelope (profit)" in the kitchen (the "red envelope" (profit) includes "cypress leaves" and a "paper money" with two coins). When the "last item" or "last person" wants to leave the old house, remember to sprinkle some rice in front of the old house before locking the door.

(2) Worship the foundation owner of the new house. After moving into a new house, it is customary to worship the foundation owner (Qi Zi) at dusk that afternoon. It is said that the owner of the foundation is a "land god" or a "house god", and every house has it. Worship the foundation owner can keep the house safe. Or, it is said that the owner of the foundation is a house.

The offerings to Master Foundation are as follows:

1. Home cooking (commonly known as "vegetarian rice"): a bowl of rice, a vegetarian dish, a dish and a soup.

2. Three glasses of wine.

3. A pair of red candles.

4. Three sticks of incense.

5. "Paper money" such as life-saving money, paper money and land public currency.

When more than one third of the incense sticks are burned, paper money (life money, cutting money, land money) can be burned at the door of the new house. After burning the paper money, the ceremony of collecting offerings and worshipping the "basic owners" was completed.

Fourth, the likes and dislikes of migrating (moving) folk customs.
