The reason why residents move is called "housewarming joy"
People move to new homes, which is called "housewarming". But the word "housewarming" is not only used to describe moving. The word "Qiao" had the meaning of "Gao" in ancient times. Shuo Wen Jie Zi notes that it is "high and flexible". What is this to describe? It describes the appearance of the tree. When we talk about trees now, we mean relatively tall trees. There is a passage in the Book of Songs that says, "Cutting trees and singing birds come from the valley and move on the trees." In other words, some people cut trees in the valley, and birds have no habitat, so they leave the valley and move to tall trees. That's how the word "housewarming" came from. Zhang Ji, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "To the Yinshan people", which contains four sentences: "On the order, there must be a heavy seat, and a group of Confucian generals will whip. The house is empty and everyone is looking forward to moving. " "housewarming" here means that people have risen to a very high position. So this word is also used to describe promotion. People pay attention to choosing a good day when they move. In ancient times, it was called "auspicious day of the ecliptic". Ancient people were superstitious and believed that some unknown forces could influence people, both good and bad. They think there are some gods in the sky, and they are on duty in shifts. Some gods protect the world when they are on duty and are suitable for doing many things. For example, the "dragon" in the familiar "dragon on the left and white tiger on the right" was originally the God of the East in ancient myths and legends, and was later regarded as one of the auspicious gods, in charge of wealth and happiness; Another example is "Siming" in "Siming Nature", which is the god in charge of human life. The day when these two gods are on duty is the so-called "auspicious day". Ancient people moved, and some were earth-shattering, such as the emperor, who moved with hundreds of officials. This is called moving the capital. In our history, there have been many times to move the capital to avoid natural disasters. For example, Pan Geng in Shang Dynasty moved to Yin to avoid flooding. Some for political reasons, such as Ming Chengzu moved his capital from Nanjing to Beijing to strengthen his rule in the north. There are also jaw-dropping reasons for moving the capital. Wu Zetian moved the capital from Chang 'an to Luoyang. One of the most important reasons is that she does not have enough to eat! At that time, because of the inconvenient transportation and the sharp increase in population, Chang 'an was short of food. When he was still in Tang Gaozong, the emperor had to take his officials to live and work in Luoyang, because Luoyang was close to the canal and had a good natural environment, so there was plenty of food. Historically, this kind of thing is called "eating". When Wu Zetian was in power, she couldn't stand this back and forth any longer and decided to move the capital.
