Move into a new house
Excessive fire is a common name for Hakka housewarming. On weekdays, I saved money and finally built a new house. Now I am naturally full of joy when I move into a new house. Living and working in peace and contentment is the dream of Hakkas, whose ancestors frequently migrated to avoid disasters and chaos. Therefore, we should invite friends and relatives to hold a grand ceremony on the auspicious day of the fire. At noon on the day of the fire, candles should be lit in every corner of the new house and incense should be lit at the door. Then a group of relatives and friends walked slowly from the stove in the old house to the new house with seven sticks of incense in their hands. This is called sending fire. Another group of relatives and friends took incense halfway and lined up to buy a new house, which is called adding fuel to the fire. The host is carrying a laundry basket on his shoulder, which contains daily necessities such as rice cookers, pots and pans, and walks in the front, surrounded by relatives and friends. At the end of the fire team, the bamboo fence was wrapped in a string of firecrackers, which ignited a raging flame and shocked the world. When the fire bearer is about to arrive at the door of the new house, firecrackers are also set off at the door of the new house. When two strings of firecrackers are fused together, the guests who deliver the fire will put the incense sticks together and insert them into the stove of the new house, and the kitchen hall will ignite a raging fire. This solemn and warm ignition ceremony is over. According to the old people, the Hakka people's custom of going too far has a long history. In fact, it is to pass the kitchen fire from the old house to the new house, so as to wish their family incense to be passed down from generation to generation and prosper. This worship of fire is the ancestor of our Chinese nation, Emperor Yan. According to Wang Chong's Lun Heng Sacrifice in Han Dynasty, Emperor Yan lit a fire and died as a stove. Because Emperor Yan invented digging wells to make fire and cooking meat, people seldom get sick after eating them. After the death of Emperor Yan, people appreciated his kindness and became the object of public worship. As long as the people really benefit, future generations will always remember him. This may be the real reason why Hakkas have moved too far.
