What's so particular about Shangliang?

Question 1: What are the steps of the beam-climbing ceremony? According to historical records, the beam ceremony in China began in Wei and Jin Dynasties and spread all over the country in Ming and Qing Dynasties. China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and pays attention to etiquette in everything. Building a house is a major event in production and life, and various ceremonies are of course essential. The etiquette in building a house is actually a blessing ceremony.

People hold these ceremonies to pray for permanent housing and a happy life.

The procedure of civil construction includes several steps, such as site selection, column erection, beam erection and door erection. Among them, "upper beam" is regarded as the most important step in the process of building. A beam is a beam installed on a pillar in a building. It is

The most important part of the upper wooden component. It is believed that the smoothness of the upper beam is not only related to the firmness of the building structure, but also to the prosperity of the occupants in the future. There used to be a saying in the countryside: "fish begins to stink at the head, you can't have a home."

There is grain in the middle, no beam on the roof, and six animals are not prosperous. "Visible beam in the eyes of ordinary people, so every time" beam "will hold a grand ceremony. The whole ceremony can be said to be around the "main beam".

Before loading the beam, the beam should be carefully selected and manufactured. After the beam and wood are made, the master will choose an auspicious day to come to the beam. According to the traditional custom, Shangliang can't collide with anyone in the master's family on this day, otherwise it will have a negative impact. In addition, other people's zodiac signs should be avoided if they conflict with Liang's time.

Although the customs vary from place to place, the ceremony of setting the beam is very grand, and the whole process can be divided into several procedures: "offering the beam, setting the beam, collecting the bag, throwing the beam and waiting for the craftsman".

Sacrificing the beam before loading is an essential procedure. People carried the main beam wrapped in red paper or red silk into the front of the new house, and placed sacrifices such as pigs, fish, chickens, geese, eggs, tofu and incense candles on the altar. Masons and carpenters toasted and said good things.

After the beam is sacrificed, craftsmen will carry it to the roof or pull it up with ropes. When lifting or pulling the beam, firecrackers exploded, and Master Liang wanted to sing Song Liang and shouted, "Go! Good luck! " Process of loading beam

In some places, it is required that after the main girder is placed smoothly, the owner should move the "five-grain colored bag" sent by relatives and friends to the roof, put it in the middle of the beam, and cover the beam with red cloth, indicating that the five grains are abundant. Some places are sewn at the bottom of the red cloth.

Putting on a pair of cloth insoles paves the way for the owner of the new house. In some places, red cloth bags filled with red dates, peanuts, rice, wheat and evergreen are hung in the middle of the main beam, which means "happiness, wealth, longevity and happiness will last forever." Since then, craftsmen

People pack fruits, food, etc. Wearing red cloth, and while saying good things, throwing the cloth into the laundry basket held by the owner in both hands. This program is called "receiving the package", which means grasping the treasure. The most lively procedure in the ceremony is "beam throwing". Be the host

After people "picked up bags", craftsmen threw candy, peanuts, steamed buns, copper coins and "gold ingots" from the surrounding beams, so that men, women and children who came to watch the excitement could compete for it. The more people, the happier the host. This trick is called "beam throwing", which means

"Money is rolling in." When "throwing a beam", craftsmen should speak auspicious words. They often say: "When you cast a beam to the east, the sunrise in the east is full; Cast a beam to the west, and Kirin will send a son to hang a double happiness; Throw the beam to the south, and future generations will be champions;

Throw the beam to the north and store the white rice every year. "After throwing the beam, people quit the new house and let the sun bask in the roof beam. This is called "sunbathing". Finally, the host gave a banquet to entertain craftsmen, helpers, relatives and friends, and distributed red envelopes.

Liang's ceremony is over.

Now, even if there are occasional ceremonies, the children are watching from a distance, and most of the scenes seem deserted. Perhaps people's living standards have improved, and the pace of life has accelerated. They don't care about those sweets, and they don't have the heart to join in the fun. Perhaps, only the owner knows that they are not throwing candy, but loneliness. ...

Question 2: What do the beams on the house need to prepare? What should I pay attention to when building beams on houses?

To build a house in China, it is a big deal to beam. You should choose a good day and burn incense at home.

Write two beautiful notes to father-in-law Land and Tai-sui Bodhisattva. Apple is the best fruit of peace.

So much for buying flowers. The father of the land protects the safety of the land. Let the spirit not make trouble. Tai sui bodhisattva is a deacon, running in the sky and underground, offering sacrifices to Tai sui and guarding the peace of the earth. Tweed represents upper beam and upward movement, bringing good luck and geomantic omen. You don't need to worship at the construction site, just at home.

Burn incense on time. Bodhisattva is very particular about timing, saying that whenever you burn incense, you should burn it.

Question 3: What should I pay attention to when decorating a house? First, look at the time. Buy red candles, incense (agarwood is the best) and paper money (not mingbi) to worship the gods, including land money, square gold, fortune money, heavenly gold and treasury silver, and a string of firecrackers. Besides, you need a cake. If you can't buy it, you can use cake instead. You must have four kinds of fruits, but you can't use tomatoes, durian and glutinous rice.

Question 4: What does the high beam mean? Shangliang refers to building a house at home. When the beam is completed, people will hold a banquet to celebrate and set off firecrackers. This is the upper beam, and all relatives and friends will sit on it.

Question 5: What do you mean by Liang Shang? Don't think about everything ~ It's just a temporary problem ... It will get better after it ~

Anxiety ... Maybe it's because you care too much about success or failure ... You are under too much pressure. ......

Don't worry about gains and losses ... drinking some milk before going to bed ... can relieve stress, and the key is to look at yourself. .......

Question 6: You are quite right about why houses should be supported by beams. At present, most houses have no problems with beams, but as a custom, they are still very popular in rural areas. No matter whether the house has beams or not, the process of beams should be carried out to indicate the completion of the house. At the same time, I hope that relatives, friends and neighbors will come to ridicule and congratulate, and arrange good weather for future houses and homeowners. As for the commercial housing in the city, there is a similar process, such as the groundbreaking ceremony or the completion ceremony. (personal understanding)

Question 7: Does the neighbor's Liang care about my home? What is the relationship between neighbors and your family?

Question 8: In the sense of Shangliang, Shangliang represents the tranquility of the whole house itself, and it plays the role of a long pillar of a family. In the lower center of the beam, there is a picture of eight diagrams, which is used to ward off and control evil spirits and make the house safe. When painting gossip on the mid-ridge, you need to fast on a certain day, so that the gossip you draw can play its role of avoiding evil and controlling evil. The central beam is the center of the temple or the house itself, and it is also the basis of orientation during the ceremony. The grand ceremony held when I went to Zhongliang is to hope that Zhongliang will always support the stability of the building, and the house will be safe in the environment and full of incense. Therefore, the smooth resettlement of Zhongliang is not only related to the future stability of the tangible building, but also to the future fate of the people, things and things concerned. The central beam can be placed at will before moving the axe, but once the "axe moving day" recorded in the general book is chosen as the auspicious day for moving the axe, the beam itself is no longer a common thing. First, clean incense and symbols are used to purify the beam, and then the size of the beam is taken with an axe. The size depends on the auspicious size of the house in its building. After the completion, if you haven't chosen an auspicious day, you should first "send the beam", that is, put the prepared central beam in a temple or a clean place, put incense on it, and wait for good luck, because religious people think that the beam after the axe is moved every day is sacred, including the "beam god" and cannot be polluted by people's arbitrary touch. The center of the beam is tied with red silk thread, and both ends are circled with red paper. Flowers, red candles, hair (two copies are arranged symmetrically), three small bowls, fruits, five animals, and Mo Dou, ruler and other woodworking appliances. Liang's job needs two people who belong to the dragon and tiger. There is a folk saying that "Dragon and Tiger Crouching Tiger", which means that the dragon and tiger are matched, auspicious and powerful, and contribute to the safety and prosperity of the temple. Carpenter of Shangliang should tie HongLing cloth around his waist, and red cloth can ward off evil spirits and break evil spirits. In the process of girder erection, fish, goose, tofu, eggs, salt and soy sauce are colored in five or seven colors, and a sacrificial plate made of wooden red paint is placed on the top of the altar, with 24 bowls of other dishes and 0/2 pots of north and south fruits/kloc-. Post couplets such as "Liang Xin meets the ecliptic day and the column meets the purple star". Use yellow or green paper for couplets, and avoid red paper. HongLing hangs from both ends of the beam, and a brass cymbal hangs from the HongLing, which means "peace and harmony". The carpenter on the beam should lead a clean life first, then "worship the beam" to be clean, and then pray for the god of the temple, the landlord of the three realms, the house god of the five realms, the master Lu Ban and the beam god. After the gods are invited, the host will point the two ends of the beam with a brush. After the beam is pointed, two people belonging to the Dragon and Tiger of the Chinese Zodiac will lift the beam in the direction of the left Qinglong and the right White Tiger of the temple. Usually, the "jiaozi" is pasted on both ends of the beam, which symbolizes the close combination of the beam and the temple structure. The tied birthday gold is also joined with the beam in the temple building, so as to make the temple last forever. When the middle beam rose, the believers inside and outside the temple shouted, "Come in!" "Go in! In this lively and bustling sound, the roof beams are joined, which is called "returning to the hole". At this time, firecrackers were set off and gold was burned, and the ceremony was completed. Regarding the placement of the central beam, as far as the east-west houses are concerned, the beam head faces north and the beam tail faces south. North-south houses, with the beam head facing east and the beam tail facing west. Don't watch the funeral before the memorial day, there is a room in the month, and the woman is in the month. When the sun rushes, people who belong to Xiao also avoid it. In addition, when the beam is completed, someone will tie a stack of two and a half inches of blessing gold and silver paper at both ends of the red cotton rope and hang it on the beam. According to the older generation, they want to make money, that is to say, they have to make big money and small money, and they will not refuse customers because they have less money, but they should have ceilings under the beams to avoid being easily seen through. China is called the land of etiquette because the ancients should pay attention to etiquette no matter what they do. Building a house, as a major event in production and life, is accompanied by various etiquette from beginning to end. According to Chinese historical records, the ceremony of building beams began in Wei and Jin Dynasties and spread throughout the country in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Architectural etiquette is actually a kind of auspicious etiquette. The purpose of holding these ceremonies is to pray for permanent housing, long-term wealth and complete children. According to the procedure of civil architecture, architectural etiquette can be roughly divided into site selection, column erection, beam erection, door erection and completion, among which the beam erection ceremony is considered to be the most important etiquette in the construction process. Beams are cross members installed on the columns of buildings. It bears all the weight of the superstructure and roof, and is the most important part of the superstructure. The beams in traditional buildings in China can be divided into three beams, five beams, seven beams, nine beams, one-step beam, two-step beam, riding door beam, moon beam, holding head beam and Taiping beam, among which five beams are the most common. & gt

Question 9: What should we pay attention to when moving back to the countryside? Grand Duke Liang Daqi is here, and the gods abdicate.

Question 10: What should be prepared for the upper beam? Look at the timing first. Buy red candles, incense (agarwood is the best) and paper money (not mingbi) to worship the gods, including land money, square gold, fortune money, heavenly gold and treasury silver, and a string of firecrackers. Besides, you need a cake. If you can't buy it, you can use cake instead. You must have four kinds of fruits, but you can't use tomatoes, durian and glutinous rice.
