Why do China people attach great importance to housewarming?

People's living conditions have improved and their lives are happy and beautiful. Nature is a happy celebration, and it has always been so. Therefore, China people naturally attach great importance to housewarming.

Please note when moving:

(1) new house layout. Post red couplets and banners at gates, halls, shrines, kitchens, etc. Some even put the word "Fu" on the gate. The decorative plaque must have been given by in-laws to congratulate them.

(2) Select the date. When people move to a new house, they should choose a good day and pay attention to the auspicious day. People are crowded on the eighth, eighteenth and twenty-eighth day of the eighth lunar month. For example, the arrangement of "auspicious day of the zodiac" is limited and can be used for two days.

(3) Send an invitation. For the host, if you want relatives and friends to come to the celebration dinner, you must send an invitation.

(4) Choose an auspicious day for moving. When moving, firecrackers must be set off, and six things, such as rice, money, water, tableware, stove and broom, must be delivered to the new house in advance. The so-called "grain and grass first, military forces did not move." In fact, it is a measure to protect pregnant women from overwork and abortion, to prevent pregnant women from participating in moving and being afraid of moving the fetus.

(5) housewarming banquets are usually placed in your new house. After 2000, city residents held banquets to celebrate their relocation, usually in hotels. In order to thank carpenters, bricklayers and painters, a banquet named "Xie Shijiu" was specially held for craftsmen.
