Moving feng shui

A form of offering sacrifices to the earth gods after the ancient houses were built.

After the building is completely completed, a ceremony to thank the earth will be held on another day. At that time, the masons will take the copper coins and some grain and rice from the previous day, and scatter them in the four directions, saying auspicious words while scattering them:

"This is what I make and listen to: First, we must have a large population; second, we must make our treasures prosperous; third, we must make our children prosperous; fourth, we must be prominent."

Second, the western Geng Xin Jin was scattered, and generations of descendants fought for gold;

Three scattered fires in the south, and generations of children entered the subject early.

Scattered water in the north, and generations of children were rich;

Five scattered central Wuji soil, generations of children and grandchildren live longer than Peng Zu; "

It was the Japanese host who prepared three kinds of fruit wine to honor the local public, and posted a mirror picture on the left wall of the hall, with yellow paper as the background, and then posted green, white, red, green and black paper strips on the east, west, south and north of the paper to represent the "five elements" of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Then, paper-cut patterns of scissors, ruler and mirror platform are pasted to show gratitude to the five sacred parties, and then the owner burns incense, firecrackers and gold paper to thank the five sacred parties for their protection and help during the construction of the house, and pray for continued protection and prosperity of the cause of peace in Hedi in the future. You can't beat gongs and drums without thanking the old customs.

after the completion of a new house, family members choose a lucky day to move to a new house, and relatives and friends give gifts to congratulate them, usually with a candle gun as the instrument. As well as happiness, furniture and clothing, etc., the old custom does not send clocks, (because sending clocks is homophonic with sending the final).

Some housewarming activities were held together with soil-thanking. The host prepared three sacrificial bowls to worship the landowner, the foundation owner and the local gods, and told his disciples to move into their new homes and pray for safety and comfort. More ceremoniously, a ceremony of thanking heaven was held together, an altar of God was set up at the entrance of the hall, a god's throne was set up to hang a god's lantern, and three kinds of fruits were prepared for a feast to worship. After the host thanked God and the gods, he led relatives and friends to visit various facilities in the new house, and then hosted a banquet for the guests, and the host and the guest enjoyed themselves.

housewarming is often held in the early hours of the morning. First, a nest of chickens and hens and a chair of a cradle car are moved to symbolize that after moving into a new house, people will be prosperous and all kinds of industries will be developed, and then other furniture will be moved one after another, and then ceremonies will be held to reward the gods. Those who pay more attention to it will also perform a "ritual play" to reward the gods.
