Why does it take three years to "move"?
In a house, people, things and even pets interact with each other. After a period of time, the gas field of the whole house will tend to be stable. This kind of stability is not necessarily good or bad, but may be good or bad. Professional feng shui masters often tell residents that although the pattern has been adjusted, there may still be some small fluctuations in the first three months. In other words, a house with excellent feng shui may encounter some minor troubles in the earliest period of time when people live in it. This is the process that the gas field gradually stabilizes. It may take a week to be fast, and three to six months to be slow. Because in the process of moving, all the people and things in the family will change their positions, so the whole gas field will be broken and rebuilt. For people themselves, this change of aura will make people in a relatively unfamiliar aura environment, and people with poor adaptability may also have some health reactions, such as difficulty in falling asleep and decreased immunity. An ancient method is to decorate a new home according to the pattern of the original home. The advantage of this is to make the familiar atmosphere appear as soon as possible, but more people actually want to decorate a new environment in their new home, so this ancient method is rare now.
Some traditional customs
In many areas of China, the starting time of moving is based on the time of "pulling out the pot". Simply put, pulling out the pot means taking the pot out of the ancient stove. In some places in the northeast, when moving, a small axe is always placed in the pot at home, and a red line is tied to the pot as a way to appease a certain gas field or god when pulling out the pot. In the traditional customs of China, pregnant women are sent back to their parents' home to take care of themselves. The ancients believed that if pregnant women witnessed the process of moving, they would easily lose their vitality, even to the detriment of the children in their bellies. In some areas, you can't move only by your own family, you must have the help of outsiders, which is regarded as a tradition of taking advantage of the situation to avoid misfortune. Until today, you can still see traces of this custom. Even well-off families often like to have lighter relatives and friends to help them when moving. Making a scene when moving is a common practice in many places. In the final analysis, moving is actually a happy event, which was called "housewarming" in ancient China culture and even regarded as one of the three happy events. It is precisely because of this trust in moving that almost every link in the whole moving process has been marked with some mysterious label.
The first day and the first week of moving into a new home are quite special.
This is also the most unstable time in the room. A common taboo custom is "sleeping twice", that is, on the first night, people will lie in bed for a while, then get up to play or work for a while, and then fall asleep completely. Another taboo related to sleep is that you can't take a lunch break on the first day in your new home. It is said that the lunch break on the first day in your new home may cause nightmares and have some effects on your health. Of course, this is just a statement. Many people habitually buy a lot of food to fill the refrigerator on the first day of moving, but in classical customs, the rice tank and water tank were forbidden to be "full" on the first day of moving in ancient times. Generally speaking, on the first day of moving, more than half of the space should be reserved in the place where food is loaded, and the bucket should not be too full. Even in summer, pay attention to opening the window and ventilation on the first day after moving, but pay attention to closing the door. This is because if the doors and windows are opened, the scarce "gas" in the original home will continue to run away, and closing the door will help some gas enter the home through the window. Don't be nervous if you feel uncomfortable sleeping or have nightmares in the first week of your new home. Some things actually changed the next week. If the second week is still like this, you can consider adjusting the layout of the room to see if there is any minor problem with the position of the bed.
