What should I pay attention to when moving to thank the soil?

A form of offering sacrifices to the land gods after the completion of ancient houses.

After all the buildings are completed, a ceremony to thank the earth will be held on another day. At that time, masons will take the previous day's copper coins and some grain and rice and scatter them in four directions, while reading auspicious words:

"This is my decision: 1. We should have a population of ten million; 2. We should have rich wealth; 3. We should have future generations; 4. We should have a prominent position; 5. We should be admitted early; 7. We should have herds of cattle and horses; 8. We should have a long life; 10. We should be rich in stones; We should be noble and have no boundaries. "

"A scattered oriental wood, generations of children eat Agnes;

Second, the gold in West Geng Xin was scattered, and several generations of children competed for gold;

Three fires broke out in the south, and several generations of children entered the topic early.

Scattered in the north, generations of children and grandchildren are rich;

Five scattered central Wuji soil, generations of children live longer than Peng Zu; "

On that day, the Japanese host prepared three kinds of fruit wines to honor the local people, and posted a mirror map on the left wall of the hall, with yellow paper as the bottom, and then posted green, white, red, green and black notes on the east, west, south and north of the paper, representing the "five elements" of gold, wood, water, fire and earth respectively. Then, paper-cut patterns of scissors, ruler and mirror platform are pasted to show gratitude to the Five Saints, and then the owner burns incense, firecrackers and gold paper to thank the Five Saints for their protection and help in the process of building, and pray for the continued protection and prosperity of the river bottom peace cause in the future. You can't beat gongs and drums without thanking the old customs.

After the completion of the new house, family members choose auspicious days to move into the new house, and relatives and friends give gifts to congratulate them, usually with candles and cannons as musical instruments. And happiness, furniture and clothing. The old custom does not send a clock, (because sending a clock is homophonic with sending the final).

Some housewarming celebrations were held together with thanking the soil. The host prepared three sacrificial bowls to worship the landowners, foundation owners and local gods, told his disciples to move into their new homes and prayed for safety and comfort. More ceremoniously, we held a ceremony to thank God, set up an altar of God at the entrance of the hall, set up a throne of God, hung a lantern of God, prepared three kinds of fruits, and held a banquet to worship. After thanking the gods and gods, the host showed his relatives and friends around the various facilities in the new house, and then gave a banquet to entertain the guests, who enjoyed themselves.

Housewarming banquets are usually held in the early hours of the morning. First, a nest of chickens, hens and cradle chairs were moved to symbolize the prosperity of people and various industries after moving into the new house, and then other furniture was moved one after another, and then a sacrifice ceremony was held. More exquisite, there will be a "ritual play" to reward the gods.

Three or seven days after burial, filial piety and their close relatives must prepare sacrifices to the cemetery, which is called "collecting ashes" or "thanking the soil".
