building contruction

Rural housing has always attached great importance to "Feng Shui". Please ask Mr. Feng Shui to read "Yang Zhai Feng Shui" before building the house, and the construction time should be auspicious. In the old days, bodhisattvas were invited, and craftsmen, relatives and friends were invited to have a banquet before construction. On the bright day, firecrackers will be set off and Master Liang will throw steamed buns. Neighbors need help when tiling. In the evening, a banquet was held to invite craftsmen, relatives, friends and neighbors to celebrate the completion of the new house. Friends and relatives should bring chickens, poultry, meat, cigarettes, wine or money to congratulate. When you move to a new house, you should hold ceremonies such as receiving stoves and inviting five saints and bodhisattvas. The villagers regard building a house as a major event in their lives and spend a lot of their life savings to build a house, so it is particularly grand. However, since the early 1990s, all villages have been brought into unified planning, and village construction should meet the requirements of modern new countryside. Therefore, the custom of watching Feng Shui can only be carried out reluctantly, but the ceremony of Liang Shang is getting more and more grand.
