Don't break ground in the twelfth month or the first month?

Don't break ground in the first month.

As the saying goes: the twelfth lunar month does not move, and the first month does not break ground. Especially on the 13th day of the first month, it is not advisable to break ground, which is the anniversary of Yang Gong's death. During the Spring Festival, it was freezing. In the past, when living conditions were poor, there was no stove to cook and smoke in the new house. The cold in the house invades the bones, and moving in in the twelfth month is very unfavorable to the weak elderly, children and women, and it is very easy to get sick. From the geomantic point of view, it is not the twelfth lunar month, and there is no auspicious day to move. The ancients thought that disturbing the god of wealth in the first month would easily lead to the leakage of wealth.

Therefore, in the first month, it is impossible to carry out large-scale construction, and it is impossible to dig and break ground, so it is not appropriate to carry out decoration and break ground. There is also a saying that in ancient times, there were activities to worship heaven in the first month. Thank God for giving us the Spring Festival. Because heaven and earth are relative, people should take care of face while thanking God, so it is best not to break ground.

China has always attached importance to the issue of geomantic omen, and the earth will move, so it pays special attention to this issue. The first month is a very important day in China, during which some days are not suitable for breaking ground and opening floodgates, commonly known as "making money". After the house is completed, installing the gate is the main etiquette for building the house. On auspicious days, please set up the incense table and offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. After the ancestor worship, install a big pagoda in the central hall to show the official completion of the new house. When entering the house, there is a "peace of mind first, then peace of mind".

After the new house is built and the gate is erected, the owner will first install incense, light candles, burn incense, burn paper money and shoot guns, and put up a "list of gods" on the main wall of nave to invite ancestors into the house. Then, on an auspicious day, please invite the elders of the neighborhood to kill chickens and prepare wine to make a fire and cook in the new house, and the whole family will settle down and formally enter the house.
