We rural people, whether building a house or moving to a new home, will have a lot of exquisite and customs, perhaps those pay attention to no practical significance, but for many years, there are many rural people, or passing on some old traditions. In fact, it doesn't matter if it really makes sense, just to make yourself feel at ease.
The old people remind that there are "three taboos" in moving, which is the exquisite of our Jiaodong hometown, and there may be no such words in other places, so don't care too much and laugh it off. Which three taboos are said? Now let's talk about it.
The first taboo is to move after dawn.
We have to move before dawn, especially some valuables, usually before the sun comes out. Some people may feel strange, moving is not a sneaky thing, why take advantage of the dark? Yes, the first time I saw someone "sneaking" around in the dark, I also thought it was strange and funny.
About ten years ago, our neighbor bought a building in the city, and the first night he told us to help move things the next day before dawn, and I asked incomprehensibly, why don't you wait until after dawn to move? How inconvenient is it to blind the fire with a black light? But the neighbor's aunt told me with a smile that it is dark and has its own reason, and it cannot wait until dawn, and it is resolute not to move in the evening, because moving in the evening is moving more and more darkly, which means that the future life will also be darker and darker. Moving before dawn means that the days will be brighter and brighter in the future. Haha, it turns out that moving before dawn is such a meaning.
The second is to avoid eating dumplings.
I don't know if other places are particular about eating when moving, but we are also exquisite about what meals to eat on the day of moving. On the first day of the move, the whole family wants to go to the warm pot, the day of the warm pot can not eat dumplings, because our hometown side pays attention to the dumplings of the egg home noodles, but the warm pot is not to eat noodles on this day, but to eat a large cake, this big cake must be a big cake of noodles. A few years ago, when the girlfriend moved, she was hand-baked by her mother, and brought to the girlfriend's home on the day of the move, and some people made hair cakes, both of which meant that they would make a fortune in the future.
The three days of the first five, fourteenth, and twenty-third of each month are avoided.
In the countryside, not only is it taboo to move these three days, that is, to marry a daughter-in-law to marry a daughter-in-law, but also to avoid the three days of the fifth, fourteenth, and twenty-third days of the first year, and married girls must also avoid these three days to return to their mother's home.
Legend has it that these three days are the days when the emperor travels, ordinary people get married and mourned, and these big things are best avoided for these three days. As the saying goes, in the first fifty-four twenty-three, the rats will no longer be hungry. Even rats dare not go out, people can not go out of the house casually, in case of collision with the traveling Tianzi, the consequences can be imagined. Therefore, the countryside has always been popular for weddings and funerals, building houses and moving houses, and these major events have avoided these three days.
