Some places in the middle of the beam hanging red cloth bag containing jujubes, peanuts, rice, wheat, nianqing, etc., which means "good fortune, fortune, longevity, happiness, forever." Thereafter, the craftsman

people will be fruit, food, etc. wrapped in red cloth, while saying good words will be thrown into the cloth bag by the master hands held up in the basket, this program is called "receiving package", meaning to catch the treasure. The beam ceremony is the most lively program is "throw beam". When the main

people "to receive the package", the craftsman will be candy, peanuts, steamed bread, copper coins, "golden treasure" and so on from the beam thrown around, so that men, women and children come to watch the men, women and children scrambling, the more the master is more happy, this is called the "throw beam". This is called "throwing beam", meaning

"wealth rolling in".
