What are the folk customs of building houses?

China lies in the northern hemisphere. In order to facilitate lighting and avoid direct sunlight, it is best to sit facing south.

When choosing the location of the house, you need to ask Mr. Feng Shui to help you choose, and you must also determine the time to break ground.

In the countryside, when building a house and setting up a tree, we should shoot guns and hang red cloth strips. Conditional, after the house is built, you can hold a banquet to celebrate the completion of the new house.

When you board the beam, you should stick couplets. There are many kinds of couplets, such as "one pillar is the sky" and "good fortune shines high".

Extended data:

During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the first thing rich households should do when building a house is to link geomantic omen with their homes, and to closely link people's future and destiny, the fate of future generations and the environment. Buji activities are mostly carried out according to the principle of "taking the situation as the body, the spring as the blood, the land as the skin, the vegetation as the hair, the house as the clothing, and the portal as the crown belt" in Huangdi Neijing.
