Will sisters catch fire if they move too far?

In some places in Jiangxi, housewarming is also called "moving into a new house", "moving over the house" and "holding a group". In Shangrao area, the joy of housewarming is commonly known as "returning to the room". The reporter learned that the local housewarming custom follows the principle of "moving on an auspicious day", that is, "returning to the house" should be carried out on an auspicious day, usually at midnight.

According to Yu Yue, a famous folklorist and president of Jiangxi Folklore and Cultural Heritage Society, when people move to a new house, there has always been an old custom of "choosing a date by looking at the imperial calendar". "The time to move is usually before dawn, thinking that moving late at night under the escort of Jia Xian can protect Anji Xiang."

The reporter interviewed several local elderly people about the custom of "moving late at night", and the results also confirmed this statement. Li Jiafang, an old man from Qianshan County, Shangrao City, told reporters that there should be a "vigil" on the day of housewarming, and the things to be moved should be prepared first, and firecrackers should be set off in the middle of the night before moving.

"As the saying goes,' luck depends on the house'. Moving is a major event in life, so we pay special attention to time. The reason why local people are keen to "go back to their new houses" in the middle of the night is because there is a superstition among the people called "it is difficult for a fairy to destroy it". Therefore, midnight and after midnight are regarded as auspicious times for moving, and there will be no bad things to destroy them; And the dead of night, not afraid of frustration, rushing to Geely. " Li Jiafang said.
