Is there any custom to move a new house in China?

(1) Before moving into the house (moving), you should prepare the following six daily necessities:

1 .meter: Fill a "rice bucket" with eight meters. Put a red envelope in the rice barrel, which contains paper money, tea leaves and nine copper coins.

2. Water: divide water into seven parts in a "bucket" (the water should be taken from the "old residence").

3. Chopsticks: Prepare a new set of chopsticks for everyone in the family.

A pair of dustpan and broom with red cloth.

Prepare a new set of underwear, pillows and sheets for everyone in the family.

6. Old stoves, pots and fans.

When moving, the above six daily necessities should be moved into the kitchen of the new house at the selected auspicious time, and other items can be moved into the new house. If you are afraid of acclimatization after moving, you can also bring a piece of soil and ginger from the old house into the new house. Those who want to take some rice and soil to travel abroad are heard to be quite effective in restraining acclimatization. Before moving out of the old house, you should leave an "old wallet" in the room and put five coins in it. Leave "two eggs" and "a red envelope (profit)" in the kitchen (the "red envelope" (profit) contains "cypress leaves" and a double-currency "paper money"). When the "last item" or "last person" wants to leave the old house, remember to sprinkle some rice in front of the old house before locking the door.

(2) Worship the foundation owner of the new house. After moving into the new house, it is customary to worship the foundation owner (Qi Zi) at dusk that afternoon. It is said that the owner of the foundation is a "land god" or a "house god", and everyone has it. Worship the foundation owner can keep the house safe. Or, it is said that the owner of the foundation is a house.

The offerings to Master Foundation are as follows:

1. Home cooking (commonly known as "simple vegetable rice"): a bowl of rice, a meat, a dish and a soup.

2. Three glasses of wine.

3. A pair of red candles.

4. Three sticks of incense.

5. "paper money" such as life-saving money, land money and land public money.

When the incense has burned more than one third, you can burn paper money (life money, cutting money, land money) at the door of the new house. After burning the paper money, collecting the offerings and worshipping the "basic owners", the ceremony was completed.

Fourth, the likes and dislikes of migrating (moving) folk customs.
