Burning the bottom of the pot is generally a form of dinner for relatives and friends to congratulate on moving to a new house. Relatives cook the bottom of the pot for you. As the host, I first thank my relatives and friends for attending the thank-you banquet of moving to a new house in spite of their busy schedules. I have prepared some thin wine and vegetarian dishes for you today. I hope everyone can eat and drink well. Finally, I wish you good health, a happy family and all the best.

Burning the bottom of a pot is a traditional custom in Henan and parts of Northeast China. When you move into a new home, friends and relatives will get together on the same day to congratulate you. The host family will arrange a meal and start a new life from now on, and the days will become sweeter and sweeter.

Old customs in the past: First of all, the date of relocation is usually set in the morning of March, June and September of the lunar calendar, when the sun just turns red, because people think it is a good day to bring good luck. Secondly, when moving, everything can be moved first, but the iron pot must be moved last.

It is said that this is to bring the happiness and wealth in the old house into the new house by setting a date, "burning the bottom of the pot" and "branding the pot helmet". Let it go, and it is linked with the new happiness and wealth of the new house. In the future, this family will live happily from generation to generation.

The custom of "burning the bottom of the pot" has added new content with the changes of the times, which is also of positive significance to deepening villagers' feelings and establishing good-neighborly relations.
