Why did Shangliang throw steamed bread?

First, the location of the new house. When building a house, local people who attach importance to geomantic omen will ask a geomantic omen to help him analyze the orientation of the selected foundation and the direction of the house, pick an auspicious day to break ground conveniently and choose an auspicious day to set aside wine. When the chosen auspicious day comes, the builder will set up a banquet in front of the foundation area selected by Mr. Feng Shui, offer incense sticks to worship the land father-in-law, then hire someone to start digging, and then fill the stone, barge the foundation, build walls, lay beams and cover tiles step by step. Second, there are many taboos. Height of the house: In the process of building the house, the host family will try not to exceed the height of the house behind, otherwise it will block the wealth of others, and there will be disputes between the two families in the future. Similarly, one's own house should not be shorter than others in front, otherwise there will be bad luck. I think this statement should come from Feng Shui. Think about it, one house next to the other is lower than the other, and the lighting is bound to be affected. The sunshine of a low house will definitely be covered by a high one, which is more "cloudy". This house is unlucky on a cloudy day. Left Qinglong right white tiger: If there is a fence around the new house, the door frame must not be opened in the west. This is called "white tiger reaching out", which is a great evil; Never dig a well in the west of the new house. Similarly, the "white tiger head" can't be easily dug through, and it will also break the feng shui (probably the white tiger is an ominous thing and can't be easily provoked); The well must be located in the east of the new house, and the east is the blue faucet, where the water vein is located, so that good water can be dug out. Thirdly, the custom of "reeling steamed bread to grab steamed bread" existed when the new house with Liang wine was covered on the upper beam: six or eight firecrackers were first set off, and then the carpenter standing on the roof carried a large basket of steamed bread to the ground, and people who had waited for steamed bread for a long time would run around to grab steamed bread. I saw a large group of men, women and children grabbing steamed bread when they saw where the steamed bread master threw it. People who grab steamed bread are simply happier than finding money. I think the first person to do this ceremony is mainly to share the joy of the completion of his new building with his neighbors next door. Later, people began to follow suit and gradually regarded it as a custom and an indispensable ceremony when building houses. In addition, after Liang finished the tile cover, the host family will set up more than a dozen tables of good wine and good dishes on the established auspicious day of the ecliptic, entertain relatives and friends to drink Liang wine and accept everyone's congratulations. Liang: It is the pillar of the house. In the middle of the pillars of the main house, a piece of red upper beam cloth will be nailed with an even number of five cents on it, and some patterns and words representing auspiciousness and celebration will be printed on this cloth. 4. Pan Dan, Evergreen and Cash Tree Pan Dan: Pan Dan is usually picked by the wife and uncle of the new owner's family on the eve of Shangliang wine, usually in a folder. There are pork, chicken, duck, goose, fish, evergreen, cash cow and so on in the tray. A lot of dishes are expensive. At that time, it took 500 to 600 to say the least, but it was a etiquette that had been established for many years. As a dialect says, "Be merciful to others", a wife and uncle should not be stingy. Let's start with the "evergreen tree" and "cash cow" mentioned in the tray. Evergreen tree: it is a vibrant evergreen tree and the color of "eternal architecture". Cash cow: it is a cypress or other kinds of cypress seedlings planted in flower pots. The branches are covered with paper, paper horns, ten horns, fifty horns and one hundred horns. The total money adds up to 188 yuan 88 cents. On the one hand, it is auspicious to live happily forever. On the other hand, I also wish the owner's family to live and work in peace and contentment after the completion of the new building, get rich through hard work, and make a lot of money. Evergreen trees and cash cows will be placed on both sides of the balcony of the new house one by one. However, with the change of the concept of the younger generation, people's lifestyles are becoming more and more modern. Some of the customs mentioned above are being gradually simplified and forgotten, and some have disappeared. This seemingly feudal superstition is actually a kind of local culture and humanity, which will only exist in the memory of the older generation in the future. Folk moving custom (1), items to be prepared when moving: 1, rice: in a rice bucket, filled with eight cents; 2, red envelopes: put on the rice bucket; 3. A pair of dustpans and a new broom need to be tied with red cloth strips; 4, water: put three points of water in a bucket; 5, bowls and chopsticks: even numbers are better, put in the bucket; 6. After moving home, you can worship the foundation owner at dusk that day. According to legend, the owner is short, so when worshipping, he should be at the door of the kitchen, and the table where the offerings are placed should not be too high. And the items prepared are: 1, simple vegetable rice (home-cooked rice), that is, one dish, one meat, one soup and one bowl of rice. 2, three glasses of wine 3, a pair of red candles 4, incense three pillars 5, longevity gold, ground gold 6, incense lit a third, began to burn paper money by the gate, and worship was completed after burning paper money. (Note: Generally, we don't use silver paper when we move to a new house to worship God. Now, all you need to do is prepare daily necessities and brooms, and then enter the new house on an auspicious day. When you enter the new house, you can only enter the new house when someone else's home is advanced, and then light a stove to cook something on auspicious occasions, and then you can safely move other things slowly. If there are pregnant women at home, pay special attention when moving and try not to move. If you have to move, let the pregnant woman leave the scene, first sweep the things in the old place with a new broom, so as not to disturb the fetus. There are some other taboos: 1. On the day of moving, don't scold the children and don't get angry. On the day of moving, try to say something auspicious. Don't say hello to others when moving. Don't take a nap in the new house on the day of moving, or you will get sick easily in the future.
