My hometown is a remote mountain village. There are many ancient customs spread here, some of which are quite interesting. No, my family rebuilt a new house some time ago, and I also learned a lot about building a house. Interesting fact.
That day
my father invited a Yin-Yang man from nowhere. After asking about the specific birth time of our family, Mr. Yin-Yang calculated it with his fingers. The "good and auspicious day" for laying the foundation of a new house. I heard from the old man that the time for laying the foundation for a new house must avoid the time when the family member is born, otherwise it will suppress the family's "birthday horoscope" and the family will never be able to stand up again. .Amidst the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, the first cornerstone of the new house fell steadily.
After the masons were busy for a few days, the first floor of the new house was erected, and then the upper beams. I heard that , there are many things to pay attention to when raising beams. After the lifting frame is installed on the first floor slab, a craftsman unanimously recommended by everyone will stand on the scaffolding on the roof. The people below hand over many small plastic bags containing candies, snacks, and cigarettes. The craftsman then tied the small plastic bags to the scaffolding one by one with red thread.
When the auspicious time came, the craftsman opened his voice and said: "Guys, today the boss is promoted to Liang Liang!" "The people below echoed: "Hoo ho, raise the beam! Yo ho, raise the beam!" Before the words were finished, firecrackers were blasting, gongs and drums were noisy, and the lifting frame supported the floor slowly rising.
Steadyly It was put on the roof. The craftsman untied the first plastic bag and shouted: "Make it!" The people below echoed: "Make it!" "Make it!" Then, candies, snacks and cigarettes fell from the sky, and people on the ground scrambled to Went to grab it. After finishing the grab, people asked: "Are you only giving out one bag (generation)?" The craftsman replied: "No! Two bags (generation)? Three bags (generation)?" Candies and snacks are falling continuously, and people on the ground are making a fuss. At this time, the neighbors will come to join in the fun. It is said that the more people come to grab the snacks, the more prosperous the business will be.
After the new house is completed, moving is also very particular. The time of moving is mostly chosen at dawn, which means "the more you move, the brighter it becomes." Before moving, grandpa lit a fire pit and set it up in the center of the old house. The firewood was slowly moved from the old house to the new house, and then the furniture and belongings were moved. It is said that this will bring good luck to the new home.
After moving into the new house, we all We are very happy and are enjoying our new life to the fullest. We firmly believe that the future will become more and more prosperous, prosperous and developed.
