What's the point of moving to a new home during the Spring Festival?

1, you usually need to stay for 3-5 days on the first day of New Year.

This tradition means that the new house is "prosperous". On New Year's Eve, the kitchen and living room should be lit all night, especially the kitchen. The old man asked me to use the water lamp for lighting all night. Now it is difficult to find the water lamp in the city, so I replaced it with a light bulb.

If there is no one, the children will live in the house. But it is afraid of red and firecrackers, so it is necessary to put red paper on the door. It is a custom that a monster named "Xi" will come to make trouble at home during the New Year, but now the city is not allowed to set off firecrackers, so everyone only sticks red paper.

4. Keeping a new house during the New Year is to announce to all living things that "private space can't be disturbed". In the past, people believed in animism in farming society. In order to adjust the relationship between man and nature, people need to hold some ceremonies. At first, all these jobs were done by carpenters. Compared with the past, these practices have been greatly simplified from laying foundations, beam houses and moving in, and only the custom of guarding new houses has been retained.

The custom of keeping a new house is also related to the legend of Kitchen God. After the invention of cooking food with fire, with the development of social production, stoves are gradually closely related to human life. The Kitchen God once blessed the people with "abundant crops and abundant financial resources". It is said that the Kitchen God reported the good and evil of his master's family to the Jade Emperor from the 23rd to the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, which is what we usually call the Kitchen God.
