What's the point of building a new house? What's the point of building a new house?

1, time: the date and hour should be selected for the high beam. For good luck, it usually chooses the sixth and ninth days of the lunar calendar, near noon. Because the beams were all made on the ground in advance, it was difficult and dangerous to transport a piece of wood weighing several hundred kilograms to a place three or four meters high by hand without lifting equipment. Choosing a date and time is a prayer activity to ensure personal safety and smooth work in advance. The upper beam is the most important part of building a house, and the time should be chosen at the time of "full moon" and "high tide", which means family reunion and money pouring in. If the time of your family's birthday conflicts with Liang's, you must avoid it.

Ceremony: Before the formal lighting, the room was mainly used for sacrifice. First, put couplets written in red paper on beams, doors and windows. Generally, the words "Qinglong Fuyuzhu, Baihu Jin Jia Liang" are posted on the beams, and the cross-batch is "Liangdaji". Then the incense table was set up in front of the main gate, and fruits were placed. The owner respectfully burned incense, worshipped and set off firecrackers. Then, the beam is officially carried out. When the beam is officially released, the construction team will concentrate all its efforts. People tied the two ends of the beam with ropes, a group of people stood on the wall and pulled it, and a group of people stood on the ground and sent it up. The danger of this project is that if the people on the wall are not strong enough, or the rope is broken, the beam may fall and hit the people on the ground after being pulled up. The construction team leader is extra careful at this time, constantly checking the danger and reminding people to pay attention to safety. Post couplets such as "Liang Xin meets the ecliptic day and the column meets the purple star". Use yellow or green paper for couplets, and avoid red paper. HongLing hangs from both ends of the beam, and a brass cymbal hangs from the HongLing, which means "peace and harmony". Cross beams are generally divided into triangle and I-beam. If it is a triangle, directly install two wooden pillars to make a fork. If it is an I-beam, the upright post and two beams should be installed first, and then the fork should be installed. After the whole beam frame is installed, put the purlin on the fork handle, nail the rafters on the purlin, spread waterproof materials on the rafters, and spread tiles on the waterproof materials, and the roof is completed. As a souvenir, the rafters nailed in the middle and back of the house are specially made. The carpenter planed one side of the round rafter with a planer, and the owner asked someone to write down the date of construction, the owner's name and the craftsman with a brush. For example, on March 9th, 1999, Zhang San built a house, Li Si was a carpenter, and Wang Wu was a bricklayer. Now, after many projects are completed, in order to clarify the responsibilities, a "responsibility card" must be set up, which is somewhat similar. At noon the next day after the end of the beam, the room mainly hosted a banquet for the construction team. There used to be several tables of good cigarettes, good wine and good dishes to celebrate the upcoming completion of the house. There is also a pressure here, that is, bricklayers need to continue laying bricks, and the treatment is not good. In case they are irresponsible or intentionally damaged, the house will leak when it rains after it is built, which is very troublesome to repair. Today's homeowners are not as particular as before. In order to save trouble, some homeowners usually only entertain the protagonist of the construction team, give others a few boxes of good cigarettes or some cash, and no longer eat together.

3. Extension: When building a house in ancient times, a ceremony of chanting "going to the girder" was held before going to the girder, praying for a solid foundation and wishing the house a safe and long time. Xu Shizeng's Preface to Stylistics in the Ming Dynasty has a related explanation: "Whoever follows Liang Wen, the engineer must also speak in Liang Wen. To build a palace in this world, we should choose auspicious times as beams, celebrate with guests, and have noodles (now called steamed bread) and other things. Because of the craftsman's skill, the craftsman recited this article and wished him good luck. His article starts and ends in Li language, while Chen's six poems are written in Chinese. Each poem has three sentences to cover up the common customs in four directions.
