What's so particular about the northeast warm pot?

In the north, Wen Guoke wants to send things to his host, including money, chicken, fish, meat, wine and other food, as well as some daily necessities. Every place has different customs, and the host has to entertain guests.

Warm pot is a folk custom, which is very common in both urban and rural areas of Shandong. Warm pot, also known as "warm house", "warm house", "burning kang" and "adding hoarding", refers to the custom that people who move or move into a new house after the completion of the new house, warmly invite relatives and friends to visit the new house, relatives and friends and neighbors bring gifts to celebrate, and the host holds a banquet to entertain those who come to congratulate, which contains the tradition of mutual assistance.

Warm pots are mainly sent by relatives and friends, and they also bring a lot of things. After warming the pot, the new house is no longer just a building, but a home full of content and fireworks.

What warm pot can't be sent:

1, the god of wealth. The god of wealth represents wealth. When you move to a new house, you will usually invite the god of wealth, but if you send the god of wealth, it is not appropriate to think about it.

2. wallet. Although this is controversial, giving wallets also represents scattered wealth in a sense. Although wallets are very suitable as gifts, try not to give them.

3. clocks and watches. There is a saying in many places here that sending one clock equals sending the last one. This is a clock, not a watch.

4. shoes. Shoes are homophonic with evil, but it's nothing, except that some people may care more. Giving shoes may make the other person feel that you are sending him evil.

5. pears. Homophonic separation: neither of us can share pears, which may be what it means.

6. candles. Although this thing is rarely used as a gift, I still want to talk about it. Candles are mostly used for memorial services, so it is not good to give them away.
