Can't you move in June of the lunar calendar?

According to the older generation, June in the lunar calendar is not suitable for moving.

The sixth month of the lunar calendar is called the last month of summer, also known as Xia Yue. According to legend, the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar is from the gate of hell to July, and the fifteenth day of July in the south is the Ghost Festival, which is called the Mid-Yuan Festival. There are sacrifices among the people. Therefore, people avoid getting married and moving in June and July. There used to be this saying, because May-June is the time when crops are not harvested, and the crops in the field can't be harvested. When you move, you always invite your relatives and neighbors to dinner, and this custom has gradually formed.

The ancients thought that June was extremely hot and December was extremely cold in a year. However, the relocation of the ancients was different from what we are doing now, not only because it was a long-distance relocation, but also because every household raised a lot of poultry. If you choose to move in this extremely hot and cold month, not only the ancients themselves can't stand it, but most poultry will die of heat or freeze to death during the long journey. So the ancients will avoid moving in these two months. With the changes of the times, it is more convenient to move now. What's more, every household in the world doesn't keep poultry. It doesn't matter much to us whether we move in June or not. What are the taboos for moving?

1. You can't take a nap in the new house on the day of moving, which will lead to illness later.

On the day of moving, you can't lose your temper and call names, especially when you scold your children. You must say more auspicious words.

3. On the first day or the first week of moving, invite friends and relatives to get together and have dinner at home, and then formally move in when the house is warm.

4. Moving to buy a new pillow is related to popularity. It is necessary to buy new pillows according to the number of family members, which is conducive to the development of wealth.

When moving, if there is a pregnant woman at home, she can't witness the process of moving, but she can do the rest of the work, such as boiling water, cooking, worshiping God and so on.

6. When moving, if the journey is long, it is best to put a handful of rice, a handful of soil and a small bottle of water in the luggage to the new house, which will be beneficial to the acclimatization.
