Excuse me, what are the rules for a man to propose to a woman's house?

Proposing marriage is a courtesy and the beginning of formal communication between the two families. Being polite is not rude.

When a man and a woman get married, the matchmaker, according to their parents' instructions, thinks that the door is right, and presses the exchanged "Geng Tie" (age and birthday) on the bottom of the net cup in front of the kitchen god statue to test God's will.
