What are the customs before building a house?

To build a house, we must first choose a good day. The countryside is called "auspicious day on the ecliptic". This auspicious day of the zodiac should be chosen by the folk "Mr. Feng Shui", or you can read the "imperial calendar" or the old calendar yourself. If the ground breaking time is set at "noon", I am afraid that digging a shovel at noon at night will be considered as moving. If you move the soil, you will occupy this place.

Pay attention to the countryside, when building houses and erecting trees, shoot guns and hang red cloth strips. Yes, it should be wrapped in five bags (red, yellow, blue, white and black). The custom in southern Shanxi is to cut the steamed stuffed bun into pieces, and together with the candy, the three purlins will be on fire when they are closed. Guns are hung on it, and usually a level is a string of guns. Then people throw coins and candy. Locals call it Liang Qian, and some even used to pour wine, called Liang wine.

The custom of building a house and moving;

Climb the beam and put up couplets. There are many kinds of couplets, such as "a pillar of material", "auspicious light helps the spirit", "roots meet the ecliptic" and "Liang Fengzi". On the horizontal head in the middle, it says "Good luck" and "Jiang Taigong prospers here". Others say, "On every auspicious day, you can climb a tree pillar" and "On every auspicious day, you can climb a beam".

When the new house is completed, couplets will be posted, and "outstanding people and outstanding people" and "cherish our country" will often be written.

When you move into a new house, you should stick couplets and shoot guns to celebrate. The content of couplets often written is "live and work in peace and contentment" and "have plenty of food and clothing"; There is a blessing in the door, the sun and the moon are heavy, the door of making money, the breeze in Wan Li and so on.

When moving, people who congratulate you are often invited to dinner and fired. People in every household set off firecrackers while walking, room by room, until they turned the corner and walked into the courtyard, until the door.
