How to worship the four corners of a new house

First of all, we must choose a good date. Then we'll get down to business. The new house occupancy procedure can be summarized as follows: 1, cleaning a few days in advance or indoors, removing decoration garbage or other dirt, opening all windows for a long time to clean up and decorate or smelling the old house. Because bricks, trees, walls and other things in some ancient houses may have primary magnetic fields, in addition to general cleaning, family members can also be invited to clean up the magnetic field in the original house in advance by using the ceremony of "casting nets" or the method of "pistachio" in Feng Shui (for reference only: uncover the tiles in the middle of the whole house and let the sun shine into the house). This process is usually called cleaning the house. On auspicious days, the host will put firewood and rice utensils into the house first, because "firewood" means wealth, which symbolizes "wealth comes to the door" and fire also means "prosperity". Haha, you may laugh this year. When did you get firewood? In fact, modern gas stoves and microwave ovens are equivalent to ancient firewood. It should be noted that there is a traditional saying called "preconceptions", which means that the talents in advanced houses are the owners, so "firewood" must not be put by outsiders. On the day I joined the company, I was also careful not to take things out of the house. Before moving into the new house, the older generation will pay homage to the four corners, that is, the four corners of the house, in order to "invite people into the house", that is, say hello to the land of this new house first. Personally, I am opposed to confusing geomantic omen with theology, but I think it is relatively necessary to "worship the four corners" in second-hand buildings, country houses and damp and dark houses, because on the one hand, it can dispel the old magnetic field and reassure the elderly at home, on the other hand, it will burn clothes and candles during the ceremony, which can drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants and disinfect the air. The ceremony of "worshipping the four corners" is a bit complicated: first, put a small piece of fresh fat pork (roasted meat and fur) and five sweets, a pinch of peanuts and a fruit (that is, * * * wants to buy five fat pork, twenty-five sweets, a bag of peanuts and five fruits, and three cups of white wine in the center) in the hall, four corners and the center of the house to prepare a four-corner dress. Secondly, the ceremony was carried out in order: the host first took 2/kloc-0 sticks of incense, faced the main entrance, walked around the house from the left hand side and said some auspicious wishes (such as good health and abundant financial resources). Finally, put the incense sticks in the same four corners of the room with apples or carrots, then burn the clothes paper in the middle or back of the room, and then sweep away the sundries with a new broom after the clothes paper melts, so that all kinds of sacrifices will not be taken back. The direction of sweeping is to start from the corner of the hall and sweep out the door through the center, symbolizing sweeping away the filth and never looking back.
