What are the Feng Shui taboos for moving to a new house?
Moving is a great event in life second only to getting married, and everyone hopes for a smooth and prosperous start. The details of moving Feng Shui are also related to the health and fortune of your family. If not handled well, it is likely to have certain negative effects. A comfortable home environment not only guarantees home life, but also brings peace, happiness and good luck to people. Moving customs vary slightly from region to region, but you need to prepare all necessary items when moving. Generally speaking, the following items are indispensable:
1. A barrel of rice and a large wardrobe box : Use a rice bucket or specially filled rice bucket to eighty percent full (in the north, flour can be filled to eighty percent full) and put it in the kitchen. In the bedroom, a large wardrobe as high as one person should be filled with clothes and bags as much as possible. Place it before moving into the new home or on an auspicious day. Good, it symbolizes that you will have enough food and clothing throughout your life, and you will have no worries about food and clothing.
2. Two or more new pillows: Feng Shui believes that "joining a house" is a transfer of a person's aura, so pillows need to be moved in first. According to the number of family members, use a corresponding number of new pillows to open the door and enter the house. Place them according to individual beds. Chinese in Hong Kong, Singapore and other places also put envelopes and red envelopes in their pillows, which contain exactly 168 money, in order to "make money along the way".
3. A pair of dustpans and new brooms: they need to be tied with red cloth strips or red ribbons, symbolizing getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, and everything will go well.
4. A bucket of water: Fill the bucket three-thirds full. In Feng Shui, water represents wealth, so moving some water to a new home is equivalent to bringing wealth into the house.
5. Several pairs of bowls and chopsticks: Even numbers are better. Put them in a bucket, which means that people are prosperous and good things come in pairs.
6. Stove: The stove represents a masculine thing, and also has the meaning of prosperity and success. Setting up the stove means that the God of Kitchen is in place. Be sure to turn on the stove and boil some tea or sweet soup that day to ensure that the family is prosperous and healthy.
7. Gate: It is best to put a red word "Fu" on the outside of the gate. You can also put a couplet about the joy of moving, but not the door god. Inside the door, you can hang a Chinese knot and other red lucky things, or a string of Five Emperors' money to attract wealth and turn away evil spirits. The Five Emperors' money refers to the money used by the five Qing emperors Shunye, Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing and Yongzheng. For ancient coins, be sure to choose real ones. If there is a local antique market, you can go to collect 5 coins in advance and string them together with a yellow rope (red ropes are also used, but red is fire and is easy to cause hedging, especially if there is a toilet at the entrance) Or the door is facing the toilet, bathroom, etc., and it is best to use a yellow earthy rope that can blend in better with the earth of the home and building). If you can’t find a suitable one in the local antique market, you can go directly to the Internet to find the most classic authentic product of Huashe. I have encountered Five Emperors coins that are specifically designed by Taoists in Feng Shui. They must belong to Taoism in Feng Shui. These coins are round and belong to water, while gold is the source of water and the magic weapon blocks the evil spirits. In addition, the five elements of yellow are earth. Its asymmetric structure is much better than five copper coins alone in blocking evil spirits. It can well dissolve the air in the absorbing soil and harmonize with the house and building. It is very suitable for villas and large apartments. Of course, it can also be used for ordinary apartments. It is completely capable. If there are few people in the house and the house is cold and not popular, you can use this kind of Feng Shui to remove evil spirits and have a relatively strong yang energy. If you have a screen or entrance, you can also hang the Five Emperors coins in the wooden entrance. Of course, the best thing is to hang it directly on the back of the door, which can solve various feng shui problems facing the door, and also attract noble people to help the new house prosper and have stable financial luck, so that the home can start in an atmosphere of strong yang energy.
In addition, in order to ensure a smooth move, you can first put the above items into the new home before moving other things into the new home (if there are gods and Buddhas in your home, you should put the shrines and Buddha statues first. Please go over there before moving anything else). In addition, you should check the lights at home before moving and turn them on. If there are no problems, continue to light them on the day of moving in order to stay bright and healthy.
Notes on moving Feng Shui are as follows:
1. The choice of auspicious days and times for moving is very important. You must consider carefully and choose the "auspicious day" for moving, and avoid being careless. It is advisable to choose: Yima, Tianma, Dehe, Kairi, Chengri, Tiansheng, Tianyuan, Four Phases, Shi De, Min Ri, Yue En, etc., which are most suitable for relocation.
Pay attention to avoid the following records in Tongsheng: four wastes, five tombs, four separations, breaking the sun, weekdays, closing the sun, closing the sun, four extremes, going to perish, returning to taboo, heavenly officials, big times, month weariness, month punishment, three Wait for the day. In addition, it depends on whether this day conflicts with the family members. If it conflicts, another day must be chosen. On this basis, combined with the owner's birth date, likes and dislikes, find out the specific suitable time of the day and determine the appropriate moving time.
2. When moving, it is best to let others handle the things that need to be removed from the new house. When moving into a new home, it is best to move some valuable items into the new home by yourself. Only in this way can it be considered a real move. Putting down the valuable items means that the home is settled and people's hearts are also settled. Only then can the move be considered real. On that day, the whole family moved to their new home physically and mentally.
3. The time to enter the house should be in the morning, noon or before sunset. Avoid entering the house at night, otherwise it is easy to attract yin and affect future fortune.
4. It is best to "worship the four corners and the five directions" when moving in, especially for houses built on Feng Shui-like foundations.
5. Special reminder: It is best not to move when there are pregnant women in the house. If it is necessary to move, it is recommended that pregnant women not be present to avoid being upset by the new unfamiliar environment, especially the couple who are the homeowners. If the middle-aged woman is pregnant, she can go back to her parents' home to hide out for three days. After three days, the man will accompany her to her new home. After returning, she will boil water and clean the kitchen and living room so that the pregnant woman can adapt to the new situation.
6. On the day of check-in, you must use the kitchen stove to boil a pot of boiling water, which means great wealth. At the same time, plug various basins (kitchen, bathroom, etc.), turn on the faucet, and let the water flow slowly and slowly; because the slow flow of water means that the bowl is full and the bowl is full. You can also turn on a fan inside the house to blow the air around, but don't blow it toward the door, as it will cause trouble.
7. After moving, no matter how long it takes, in order to ensure the safety and prosperity of your family, you should hold a worship service to the family gods or set off a small string of firecrackers at home.
8. If there is no auspicious time to set up the bed on the day of moving into the house, you can put the bed in place first and wait until the auspicious time to set up the bed.
9. If you are moving a long distance away, take a handful of rice, a handful of soil and a small bottle of water with you in your luggage to your new home. This is especially true when moving from one province or city to another, not to mention going abroad. This can prevent acclimatization and homesickness.
10. Don’t be angry on the day of moving, and don’t curse anyone, especially children. Be sure to say auspicious words and do auspicious things.
11. Don’t take a nap in your new home on the day of moving, otherwise you will be more likely to get sick in the future. When going to bed that night, the owner will lie down for a few minutes and then get up and work for a short while, indicating that he will get up after sleeping.
12. If you want to make a house quarrel on the first day or within the first week after moving, you must invite relatives, friends and neighbors to your home to have a lively chat, dinner, entertainment, etc. The more lively it is, the more auspicious it is.
If the above precautions can be followed, your home will always be safe, your population will be prosperous, and your fortune will be good.
