What's the etiquette for moving?

There are many exquisite ceremonies and ceremonies when moving. First, moving requires a ceremony to enter the house. In addition, we should also pray to our ancestors. Before moving things, you must move the gods and worship them.

1, entrance ceremony

Before moving to a new home, you must choose an auspicious day. At that time, we should prepare holy tables, Buddhist instruments, fruits, cakes, incense sticks, candles and other supplies, and also prepare a thank-you basket for the gods, calculate the distance and time of the new home, move out of the old house, and move into the new home to place the gods.

2. Pray for ancestors.

3. Pray for our ancestors before moving, go to the ancestral temple to pray for our ancestors, burn incense and tell us that we are moving to a new home, and explain the exact time of moving and the specific location of the new home.

3. Move the idol before moving things.

There is a series of moving things. When moving, move the idol first, cover it with red cloth, don't hold it upside down, don't hold it or carry it on your back, hold it with both hands, and lift the bigger one. If it is a different place, the idol can't be abandoned, and whoever drives it will handle it. Rain and snow weather is not suitable for moving idols. If there is really no way, we can only postpone the date of moving.

4. Worship God and Buddha

After the gods are placed, they need to be sacrificed with fruits, flowers and clear water. Flowers mean "cause" and fruits mean "fruit", which together means "cause and effect". Clear water means "purity and equality". Burn incense three times to show caution, stability and wisdom. Remember not to sacrifice wine and meat to the Buddha.
