The red hanging of Hakka is held at the ceremony of moving to a new house, which is more complicated. It has many red stripes. Generally, a family's uncle hangs red, and all "outsiders" (family members), such as grandma, mother, daughter-in-law, brother and daughter-in-law, usually hang red stripes. Of course, some of these families will hang red stripes together. When the ceremony is held, the master piles up the red cloth or HongLing you brought in order from the largest to the smallest. In the suona sound, he first toasted Xi and gave him money, and then praised him one by one in the order from big to small. After the master received the red cloth, he hung it on the wall of the guest room in order of size on the spot. There are long and short eulogies, such as: hanging golden light and red Luo on the jade pillar of Longmen, one hanging forever, the second hanging forever, the third hanging champion, the fourth hanging four seasons' peace, the fifth hanging five sons' entrance examination, the sixth hanging six beasts' prosperity, the seventh hanging seven stars' high light, the eighth hanging eight immortals crossing the sea, the ninth hanging nine generations living under one roof, and the tenth hanging for all good luck. From then on, colorful. Short compliments, such as congratulations on the success of your mansion. On an auspicious day, when you move to a new house, you will develop a noble family. Or: auspicious orioles move to happiness, and relatives and friends wish Pengcheng. There is a red horse in the class, Yongsheng Zi. Push the happy event to a climax in the congratulatory message.
Ganzhou is the cradle of Hakkas, and has many customs and habits of its own. The relocation of Hakkas is commonly known as "going too far".
In ancient times, Hakkas lived without a fixed place and wandered around the world just to seek a place to live. So they live in Maoliao, and their living conditions are very simple. To build a house, there must be a hall, and the hall must be built first. Because of their filial piety and not forgetting their ancestors, Hakkas first built a mourning hall to stabilize their ancestors' spirits and follow the ceremony. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Hakka people still live in three large buildings with civil structures, and many fire brick houses have been added. Since 1980s, the number of reinforced concrete houses has been increasing.
Building a house, commonly known as "building a house". In the past, when Hakkas were building houses, they asked Mr. Geography to choose the foundation and draw the Yang Gong symbol to stand on the construction site. Break the ground and choose "auspicious day" for beams and columns. Relatives and friends should congratulate each other. They say "send tea". The host set up three banquets, namely "falling rock wine" when the ground was broken, "Shangliang wine" when the beam column was placed, and "consummation wine" when it was completed. When placing the beams and columns, the masons are invited to speak auspicious words, and the custom says "cheers".
Move, commonly known as "too much is too late." Select "auspicious day" Usually act at dawn. It is necessary to move the kindling from the old stove to the new stove, commonly known as "catching the kindling". Set off firecrackers when you go out, and so do old neighbors. As the saying goes, "send fire." When we arrived at the new house, we also set off firecrackers, and so did our new neighbors. As the saying goes, "add fuel to the fire." And make "excessive wine" to entertain relatives and friends.
The first type of housewarming: meeting Vulcan.
That is to say, burning charcoal in the stove of the old house and transporting it to the stove of the new house means that the kitchen king has moved and passed down from generation to generation, and it also means the continuation of incense. The new stove should put the kitchen god throne and incense burner to worship, burn incense and bow down to pray, which can also be said to be a "sacrifice stove."
The contact between Vulcan and Vulcan is no longer held in many places, but it is necessary to sacrifice the stove. ? Whether Hakka or not, the common people worship the Kitchen God.
Kitchen God, also known as Kitchen King, Kitchen God, Kitchen King and Kitchen God, is our Xingguo dialect called "Kitchen God"? . In myths and legends, he is the god of catering, in charge of catering in the world, and the Jade Emperor also entrusted him with the responsibility of investigating good and evil. Every year off-year is the day to send the Kitchen God, who reports the good and evil behavior of this family for a year, so every household burns incense and worships on this day, usually offering fried rice and fruits, sugar cakes and sweets. Why? It means let him say something nice about dessert, hehe, it's very interesting. Kitchen God has witnessed the daily necessities of the world, and is the most emboldened God.
Take Xunwu Village as an example to show the Hakka custom of using fire.
The second kind of housewarming joy: a bumper harvest of grains.
Put grains, silver dollars, coins and paper money on the tray or the main table in the living room, which means "the grains are abundant"
The third kind of housewarming joy: climb up step by step
Wrap the stairs in red paper, which means "climb up step by step"
The fourth kind of housewarming joy: posting couplets
The host invited people who are good at calligraphy in the village to come home and help him write couplets. There are too few people who can write calligraphy now (sorry for their ancestors), and they usually buy couplets directly.
The fifth type of housewarming: firecrackers greet auspicious moments.
The auspicious moment has arrived, and the firecrackers are deafening.
The sixth kind of housewarming: Prepare for the guests.
Set the tables and chairs, drinks? Fruit snacks are prepared for welcoming guests and wedding banquets.
The seventh kind of housewarming: Welcome distinguished guests
Do you want to invite friends and relatives to move? Family clan elders, uncles and brothers and villagers attended the housewarming ceremony as VIPs.
In the past, relatives like the bride's family, such as her brother-in-law, should give glass plaques (now, landscapes are usually equipped with electronic display clocks)
Which families does it say congratulations to? For example, if you have three periods, your uncle will send them together and write your name.
When sending, you should beat gongs and drums to play suona, and the host should set off firecrackers to welcome you.
It's not that complicated now. In most places, gongs and drums and suona have passes, but every guest should set off firecrackers to welcome him.
When the guests arrive, they should say some auspicious words to the host, such as prosperous population, prosperous wealth, congratulations on making a fortune, good luck and so on.
Then take the guests to their seats, serve tea, smoke cigarettes, and use candy snacks, such as Hakka hot skin, dried sweet potatoes, peanuts, fried rice fruits and so on.
This time is also the time for friends and relatives to get together. Everyone plays cards and chats, and the parents are short and lively. ?
The eighth type of housewarming: preparing a luncheon.
Please hire a professional running water banquet company and find professional people to do professional things. . . ?
Now there is a special banquet service for weddings and funerals in rural areas, from delivering tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks to cooking ingredients.
A truck? People and things will be in place soon.
The ninth housewarming: the housewarming ceremony in the lobby
Ask the elders in the village or people who know these things to host, worship ancestors, kill chickens to exorcise evil spirits, and sing hymns in class.
This is only kept in remote places now, and it is said that there are complete ceremonies in Du Yu and Ningdu.
Judaism is generally celebrated, and I found a passage:
"Praise the sky and congratulate my nephew for moving to a beautiful room. A generation of talents is prosperous in the country and rich in the valley. "
The tenth kind of housewarming joy: eating a wedding banquet
According to the identity of the guests and the distance between relatives and friends, sit down separately (there are many exquisite seating arrangements in Hakka dialect, which will be discussed separately later)
Everyone began to eat, the host toasted, and everyone stood up to bless.
Push the happy event to a climax in the congratulatory message.
The eleventh kind of housewarming:? See the guests off?
After dinner and chatting for a while, almost all the guests left, and the host stood at the door to bid farewell, distribute gifts and say goodbye to each other.
Different places have different ceremonies. Some are red envelopes, some are sweets and snacks. ?
