It is relatively simple to build ordinary small peasant boats by shipbuilding. Only when a new ship is launched, the three animals "Zhai Reuters" are ready. It is even more grand to build large agricultural boats or gangs to fight new boats. Before shipbuilding, please ask Yin and Yang to divine and start work another day. A carpenter sawed off a piece of wood and wrapped it in red paper. The owner asked the boatman to give him money to buy "wine making", also known as "wooden stool wine". Before boarding the beam, the boatman and the eldest son of the ship owner used Mo Dou to pop up the center line at the bottom of the boat, which was called Dingyuan and Zhaili City at the bottom of the boat. After boarding the beam, a "Dingxing Wine" was held. Drink "wax wine" when wearing wax figures. After the ship is built, it will be the most grand when it is about to launch, and there will be a banquet. The ship owner nailed red and green satin streamers on the new bow, affixed couplets, chose auspicious days, prepared three animals to "fast the road", set off firecrackers, and the new ship was slowly launched by everyone. Someone splashed water on the new boat in the middle of the boat to show smooth sailing, prosperous business and good luck. On that day, relatives and friends came to give gifts and congratulations, and the host gave a banquet "finished wine".

Sacrifice to the earth god before piling to avoid being watched by people belonging to the zodiac, block the way with fences, and throw a dead dog or scissors into the water to suppress evil spirits when piling and bridging. When the bridge is built, masons will process and pile up the original stones on site. During the construction of the bridge, children will wear red cloth or peach tree cards, which say, "Stone monks at the stone bridge, go their own way, hurry home and hold the bridge piles by themselves." Adults will not let children see bridge construction, especially piling, which means ward off evil spirits. folk song
