What items must be moved on the day of moving?

pots and pans

According to traditional culture, when you move, you should first wash the pot with warm water and cook with fire, which symbolizes wealth and brings prosperity to your new home. In some places, this ceremony is called "warming the pot". It is said that the kitchen god is the god in charge of diet, and he should sacrifice to the kitchen god on the day of moving, so that the kitchen god can enter the new house with peace of mind.

When moving, if there are any gods or Buddha statues at home, you must move into your new house before you can officially move in. When moving in, the head of the family should enter the door first, and Feng Shui pays attention to the left foot entering the door first. It is said that this is called stepping on gold and silver, stepping on luck.

pillow

On the day of moving, move the pillow into your new home, which means "move in". Pillows play a very important role at home and are necessary for sleeping every night. Moving pillows to a new home means that the whole family can stay safely. It should be noted that if the old pillow is moved at this time, it is not conducive to the development of the family. Bringing a new pillow into a new home is the best choice, and pillows are not very expensive items. You can change when you are in your new home, or you can move to your new home happily.

The ceremony of moving should also be followed. Depending on local customs, some are popular to light incense in the door, and some are moving to set off firecrackers. These customs still maintain the rules handed down for thousands of years, and people will still do so in order to win the lottery.
