What do you mean by putting sorghum at the door?

The function is to live in a quiet house on behalf of the new owner.

Before moving, we should prepare five kinds of grains, such as sorghum rice, rice grain, mung bean and black bean, and use the power of these five kinds of grains as the representatives of the grains and the news that people enter the house to spread. A few days before moving, the householder came to this mansion, sprinkled mixed grains from the window of the main house, and said something while sprinkling. This mansion has been inhabited. Avoid our God.

In addition to laying vegetables from the window to the gate, after such a stage, there is a special step, that is, using five steamed buns and three sticks of incense to worship the guests invited by ghosts in these houses and know what to pay attention to when moving and burning incense. When offering sacrifices, the owner holds the incense above his head after burning it, and then inserts the incense into the prepared bowl for holding grain. Pay attention to spread the prepared red paper under the bowl.

After sandalwood is lit, the host should back off from the outside, let the original ghost accept the gift and quietly understand the intention of the host family, wait for a time of incense and politely ask them to go. Then you can fold some red cloth into strips and hang them in front of your house for three days. After three days, the road ghost at home left when he wanted to, and left when he saw the sign at the door.

The exquisite host family will also prepare a set of firecrackers at the gate after the completion of the steps of moving grain and offering sacrifices, which can not only serve as a warning to the passing wild ghosts, but also send away these temporary ghosts, so that the process of cleaning the house can also have a happy ending.
