Preface
Over the years, due to the development of social economy, everyone has a lot of money, so it has become the pursuit of many people to improve their living environment, such as changing to a new house.
However, although housewarming is a good thing, there are also many things to be paid attention to.
After all, for the vast majority of families, in this life, they may have to change to a new house, which is naturally to be treated ceremoniously.
In addition to finding someone to pick an auspicious day for the zodiac, you also have to bring some things with you when you move to a new house.
For example, as the saying goes, "If you move with three things, you will be prosperous and prosperous", so what are these three things?
The tablet cannot be lost
It is possible that people living in the city today have never seen a tablet.
After all, traditional clan buildings such as family ancestral halls are no longer in the city today, and Xi such as ancestral tablets are rarely preserved.
But for those who still worship ancestral tablets at home, they must bring the tablets when they move, and why is that?
In most people's impressions today, if a person has a soul after death, it should be to drink Meng Po soup on the Nai He Bridge, reincarnate, and be reincarnated.
But in fact, the theory of reincarnation is a mythological system that gradually formed after Buddhism was introduced to China.
At least in the pre-Qin period, people believed that the soul did not dissipate after death, and that future generations could continue to sacrifice to their ancestors by casting tablets, so as to pray for the blessings and blessings of their ancestors.
And it is precisely because it is believed that it is possible to communicate with ancestors in the ancestral hall where ancestral tablets are enshrined, so in many cases, the temple was used by nobles to form alliances.
For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, after killing the Duke of Qi Zhuang who had an affair with his wife, Cui Zheng, the powerful minister of the Qi State, forcibly asked the minister to form an alliance with him in the temple.
This is also why in the pre-Qin period, people would regard sacrifices and wars as the most important things in the country.
As for the common people, although they are far less expensive than the noble lords in the ancestral tablets, the ancestral hall of the tablets is also extremely important in traditional Chinese culture.
If you have watched those clan historical dramas that describe ancient societies, then you will notice that when something important happens in a family or a village and needs to be decided, or there is something wrong with a conscience that needs to be punished.
Prestigious elders will always open the ancestral hall and then make a decision under the tablet of their ancestors.
For example, in "White Deer Plain" a few years ago, the ancestral hall was opened.
Of course, it's the 21st century, and everyone knows that people die like lights out, and there is no soul or anything like that, but even so, the ancestral tablets are still worthy of our awe.
Because these tablets represent our own historical heritage, every name on the tablet has witnessed the rise and fall of a family and the ups and downs of the times.
Moreover, the tablet symbolizing ancestors is in fact the belief of the Chinese.
The West always says that Chinese have no faith, but this is not true.
To be precise, it is true that the Chinese do not worship those ethereal gods as devoutly as in the West, what we worship is our ancestors!
It is those ancestors who overcame thorns and thorns, killed the bloody road for us from the wilderness, and created China with blood, sweat and wisdom!
So, although most people don't have ancestral tablets in their homes these days, if you have them, be sure to bring them with you when you move.
This is not a superstition, but a belief that the Chinese should be proud of!
So, what should you bring with you besides the tablet?
The family has a thousand gold, it is better to have an old book
Let me ask you a question, after graduating from school, in addition to preparing for exams, do you usually read books?
Probably for the vast majority of people, after graduation, unless they are specialized in research and learning, or to cope with the public examination and compilation, otherwise, there may not be many people who like to read idle books without anything.
It's understandable, after all, we live in an age where there are so many options for entertainment.
Turn on the mobile phone and computer to watch exciting, you can play games, you can find all kinds of video clips if you want to be happy, who still reads books?
I don't want to criticize anything about this, after all, everyone is very tired now, and it's rare to have a little poor free time, of course, how to be happy.
But I would like to suggest that you can read books or not, it is your own freedom, but it is better to have a few spare books at home.
The books here can be highly specialized astronomy and geography, or history and culture with a low threshold, or literary novels purely to pass the time, or fairy tales for children.
Please have some at home, or for adults, these books can only be eaten in the corner, but for children, maybe it will be the beginning of their love of reading and learning Xi.
So when you move to a new house, please bring those old books with you if you can.
Perhaps in the future, they will introduce your child to a whole new world.
Of course, not all books are valuable, such as those practice Xi books and the like, so you should sell them or sell them.
An old object with memories!
As the old saying goes, clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as before.
Nowadays, people's conditions are getting better and better, so when many people feel that some objects in their homes are old, or they don't like their eyes, they directly buy a new thing that is more in line with their hearts online.
I don't want to say anything about this, after all, who wants to put a good new furniture and use those old furniture that has been polished by the years?
Therefore, when many people move, many people feel that since they have a new home, they should have a fresh start, and often choose to pack all the old furniture and sell it cheaply, and then buy new furniture.
There is nothing to blame for this, it is everyone's freedom to pursue a better life, but I still want to advise here, if you can, when moving to a new home, it is better to keep as many old things as possible that are worth staying.
First, those old objects may seem ordinary, but they are also witnesses to their own companions in the past, bring them to their new home, it's okay, look at it, maybe you can still remember those happy things in the past.
Second, to put it more utilitarianly, how can you guarantee that old furniture that looks worthless now will be worth money in the future?
Especially for those old objects left by their parents or even grandparents, if they can't be kept, they can become antiques and become heirlooms!
So, in addition to the above three objects to follow people into their new homes, what other objects should also be treated with caution?
Other considerations
Moving to a new home is definitely not just a new house, but a new beginning.
Therefore, in order to be able to make your new life prosperous, there is no shortage of attention at all.
For example, when the older generation moves to a new house, they will deliberately take away their most commonly used rice bowls.
However, it should be noted that if you plan to invite those friends and family to dinner after moving to a new home, it is better to use a new rice bowl for the first meal.
And in addition to bringing your own rice bowl, pillows are also something to consider.
If you feel that your time in the old house is relatively happy, then you might as well bring the old pillow to the new home, so that you can still sit back and relax.
If you feel that life in the old house is not satisfactory and want to make a cut with the past, then the old pillow can be burned in one fire, hoping to get rid of the bad luck.
It's just that this time I still want to remind everyone that although the pillow looks inconspicuous, it is directly related to our sleep.
Therefore, if you can, it is better to bring your own pillow that you are used to.
After all, when you just moved, there are a lot of cumbersome knowledge, and you may not have the energy and mood to carefully choose a suitable pillow for yourself.
After dealing with these daily affairs, let's talk about what to do with the idols enshrined in the house.
I think that in most people's homes, there should be a statue of Buddha, or other gods, such as the God of Wealth in the store.
For those who are devout believers, there is not much to say.
When moving, you can respectfully wrap these idols in red cloth and put them in a prepared box to pack and take away.
But what about those who want to change their idols?
Although we all know that there are no gods and ghosts in this world, we should pay attention to it.
If you really don't want those old idols, or you can find a nearby temple or a Taoist temple, donate these idols to them and let them dispose of them.
If they refuse to accept it, then look at any nearby mountains or trees, and then respectfully place the idol under the tree or on the top of the mountain.
Of course, you can also reach out to your friends and relatives to see if any of them are interested in the idol and give it out as a gift.
It's not superstition, it's just that people have to be in awe to live.
Especially at a time of great joy like moving, don't do something stupid that will compromise your blessings and cause trouble for yourself and your family.
I don't know, what do you think about this?
