Things to note when moving into a new home

Preface

Recently many people have consulted me about choosing an auspicious day for moving. In addition to choosing a date, there is also the issue of what counts as moving into the new house. Most people think that moving furniture and other things counts as moving, but this is not actually the case. Here are some things to note when moving:

The most important thing when moving into a new house is to return to the fire. Returning to the fire has two meanings: one is to return to the firewood, and the other is to return to the incense. In ancient times, after selecting an auspicious day and time, people would move firewood from their old home to their new home. The owner would walk in front holding firewood and kitchen utensils, and the others would walk behind, and no one could come empty-handed. Firewood represents wealth and fire, and you can also burn something from your old home and bring it to your new home. For example, if you live nearby, you can light a torch and bring it to your new home. The second is to return the incense. Incense is the incense that is usually used to worship ancestors in the old home. If the old home has an ancestral tablet or shrine, the ancestral tablets or shrine should be brought from the old home to the new home on an auspicious day and time. This represents filial piety and respect for the ancestors, and also represents the inheritance of the family.

Another important thing when moving into a new house is to worship the Kitchen God. The Kitchen God is also known as "the Lord of Kitchen Smoke in the East of the Nine Heavens" and "the Protector of the House". In Chinese beliefs, the Kitchen God has a very high status and is the most important deity in the family. Many places in rural areas still retain the custom of worshiping the Kitchen God during the New Year every year, but with the development of cities and the gradual changes in social customs, such customs are becoming less and less common. Young people are no longer interested in these traditional customs, and they are facing the embarrassing situation of being lost. We have to offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God every Chinese New Year and when we move into a new home, the Kitchen God also has to be offered sacrifices. The return of firewood mentioned above means inviting the Kitchen God from the old home to the new home.

Combined with the above content, we provide you with a simplified version of the process of moving into a new house:

01

Step one: Select an auspicious day before moving.


How to choose a date? It is best to check the birth dates of all the family members who will live in the house against the almanac or ask a teacher to help choose a date.

Generally speaking, you should choose an auspicious day and time before moving, and basically follow the following four principles.

First of all, it is better to choose a water day as the moving day, and avoid fire days. In terms of time, it is better to use Yin time on Yang days, and it is better to use Yang time on Yin days.

Secondly, we need to look at the orientation of the new house. If the new house faces east, do not use the days of the three metal combinations such as Si, You and Chou; if it faces west, do not use the days of the three wood combinations such as Hai, Mao and Mo; if it faces south, do not use the days of the three water combinations such as Shen, Zi and Chen; if it faces north, do not use the days of the three fire combinations such as Yin, Wu and Xu.

Third, we need to see whether the time conflicts with the zodiac signs of everyone in the family. It is not advisable to choose a day that conflicts with the zodiac signs of family members for moving.

Finally, we should also pay attention to the "Tian Gang Four Kills" and the "Huituo Gong Sha". The so-called "Four Heavenly Killers" refer to days and times that are unfavorable to people with four types of fate: those whose birth years' earthly branches are Shen, Zi, and Chen are most taboo to the day and the hour of Wei; those whose birth years' earthly branches are Yin, Wu, and Xu are most taboo to the day and the hour of Chou; those whose birth years' earthly branches are Hai, Mao, and Wei are most taboo to the day and the hour of Xu; those whose birth years' earthly branches are Si, You, and Chou are most taboo to the day and the hour of Chen. Based on this, the "Huituo Gongsha" method is used to deduce that people born in the year of Wei who are of the sheep's zodiac sign are not suitable to move on a day that contains Shen, Zi, and Chen; people born in the year of Chou who are of the zodiac sign are not suitable to move on a day that contains Yin, Wu, and Xu; people born in the year of Xu who are of the dog's zodiac sign are not suitable to move on a day that contains Hai, Mao, and Wei; people born in the year of Chen who are of the dragon's zodiac sign are not suitable to move on a day that contains Si, You, and Chou.

Step 2: Prepare seven treasures and household items.


After selecting an auspicious day, the next step is to prepare the "Seven Treasures".

What are the seven treasures? They are firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. The seven treasures represent auspicious objects. New bowls, chopsticks, brooms and dustpans are covered with red paper and moved into the new home together with new clothes. This represents a warning to the ghosts in the house, indicating that someone is about to move into the house and asks the ghosts to leave quickly. Just prepare a small package of each of the seven treasures and stick a ten-yuan-sized piece of red paper on each of the seven treasures. On an auspicious day, bring them into the house and place them on the coffee table in the living room or in the kitchen.

Step 3: Move things.


After selecting an auspicious day and preparing everything, you can start moving!

During the process, you must maintain a happy mood, not get angry, and especially not curse or use bad words, otherwise the ghosts and gods in the house will mistakenly think that you are cursing them.

Do not move within a week after attending someone else's funeral. If there is a pregnant woman at home, it is best to move all the furniture within three days to avoid disturbing the fetus.

Sweep furniture with a new broom before moving. You must also prepare some coins. When the auspicious time comes, when you step into the door, say: "Step in, bring wealth in." Then scatter the coins on the ground and chant: "The ground is full of gold, wealth is coming in, and the hall is full of money." Then put the seven treasures and some items prepared earlier back in their places. Then start moving old furniture and so on.

Step 4: Worship the door gods.


After moving everything in, the first thing to do when entering the house is to worship the door god.

First, buy two new door god stickers (if you don’t have any, or it’s inconvenient to post them on the door, you can choose auspicious couplets instead), and stick them on the door to indicate that this household has door gods guarding it, and dirty things won’t easily get in.

Then, fill a new bowl at home with glutinous rice or rice, walk to the gate and open it. Hold the bowl with your left hand, and use your right thumb, index finger, and middle finger to grab a small pile of rice, scatter it inside the door, and then let it bounce out. In this way, there will be rice both inside and outside the door. Do this three times.

When worshiping the door gods, you must be sincere in your heart and silently say: "Please, door gods, bless my whole family with peace and success."


05

Step 5: Calm your mind.


Calming the nerves is a very important and professional matter, and it is best to ask a professional teacher to do it.

Five kinds of fruits are usually used in sacrifices, three of each. If you are more particular, you can prepare twelve each of red turtles, longevity peaches, and red balls, fifteen packs of longevity noodles, a bowl each of five fruits, shelled peanuts, and dried longans, and a bowl each of red beans, mung beans, black beans, flower beans, and yellow beans, and ask the ancestors to bless the family with peace.
