The custom of Buyi folk houses

Buyi people are very particular about building houses. First of all, please ask the teacher of Yin and Yang to take a look at the "Feng Shui" and choose a place near the mountains and rivers as the base address of the house, not only facing the Qingshan Mountain, but also facing the Qingfeng Mountain. It is best to rely on mountains such as "lying lion guarding", "green dragon enclosure" and "riding your seat"; When you go to the mountain, you should choose the forms of "Shuanglong grabbing treasure", "Shuanglong playing with pearls", "Wan Ma returning to the trough" and "Shouxing holding high photos". Fortunately, most Buyi areas are limestone mountains, which are not difficult to find. Choose an auspicious day when building a house. A month before an auspicious day, a carpenter was invited to make a framework for a house. The auspicious day for building a house is dedicated to Master Luban. When the house was put up, my father-in-law sent me a girder with big flowers of red silk tied on it, and a band and a lion dance team set off firecrackers. Song and dance ceremonies and banquets will also be held on the beam. Finally, take the ancestral tablet and the kitchen god (charcoal fire) to the new house. The whole process of building a new house is filled with the atmosphere of jubilation and mutual assistance in Buyi villages.
