What's so particular about the red envelopes for new houses in Ganzhou?

Write a congratulatory message on the red envelope. And hang red.

Hakkas hung red at the ceremony of moving to a new house, which is relatively complicated. Generally, when a family member hangs red, all the "outside doors" (family members), such as grandma's, mom's, daughter-in-law and brother's daughter-in-law, usually hang red. Of course, some of these families hang red together. When the ceremony was held, the master piled up the red cloth or red silk brought by you in the order from big to small. In the sound of suona, he first toasted and gave money to Xi, and then praised them one by one in the order from big to small. After the master took over the red cloth, he hung the red cloth on the wall of the guest hall on the spot in the order of big and small. There are long and short eulogies, such as: hanging the red Luo with golden light on the jade pillar in Longmen, one hanging for ever, the other hanging for ever, the third hanging for the champion, the fourth hanging for peace in the four seasons, the fifth hanging for five children to get into the exam, the sixth hanging for six animals to prosper, the seventh hanging for seven stars to shine high, the eighth hanging for eight immortals to cross the sea, the ninth hanging for nine generations to live together, and the tenth hanging for everything to be auspicious. Since then, it has been colorful. Short words of praise, 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 joy, and relatives and friends wish Pengcheng. A red horse hangs in the class, and the eternal prosperity is purple. Push the happy event to a climax in a congratulatory message.

Ganzhou is the cradle of Hakka, and it has many customs of its own. The relocation of Hakka people is commonly known as "going too far". In ancient times, Hakkas had no fixed place to live, wandering around the world, just seeking a place to live. Therefore, they lived in Maoliao, and their living conditions were very simple. Where a house is built, there must be a hall, and the hall must be built before the room. Because the Hakka people are filial and do not forget their ancestors, they first built a hall to secure their ancestors' spiritual position and follow the ceremony. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hakkas still live in three large buildings with civil structures, adding many fire brick houses. Since the 198s, the number of reinforced concrete houses has been increasing.

building a house, commonly known as "building a house". In the old days, when Hakkas built houses, they asked Mr. Geography to choose the foundation and draw the Yang Gong symbol to stand on the construction site. Break ground and beam column should choose "auspicious day". Relatives and friends should congratulate each other, and they say "send tea". The host gave three banquets, namely, the "falling rock wine" when the ground was broken, the "Shangliang wine" when the beam column was put on, and the "round house wine" when it was completed. When putting beams and columns on, please ask the masons to speak auspicious words, and the custom says "cheers".

moving, commonly known as "going too far". Choose "auspicious day". Usually move at dawn. To move the kindling from the old stove to the new stove, the common saying is "catch the kindling". Firecrackers are set off when you go out, and old neighbors also set off firecrackers. As the saying goes, "send fire". When we arrive at the new house, we also set off firecrackers, and the new neighbors also set off firecrackers. As the saying goes, "catch fire". And make "excessive wine" to entertain relatives and friends.

the first type of housewarming: meeting Vulcan.

that is, burning charcoal in the old kitchen stove and carrying it to the new kitchen stove means that the kitchen king moved and passed on from generation to generation, which also means the continuation of incense. The new kitchen stove has to put the kitchen god's throne and incense burner for worship, burn incense and bow down to pray, which can also be said to be "offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove."

The link of connecting Vulcan is no longer held in many places, but it is necessary to offer sacrifices to stoves. ? Whether Hakka or not, the people worship the kitchen god.

Kitchen God, also known as Kitchen King, Kitchen God, Kitchen King and Kitchen Master, is called "Kitchen Master" in Xingguo dialect? . In myths and legends, he is the god of catering, in charge of the world's catering, and the Jade Emperor also entrusted him with the duty of investigating good and evil. Every year, the off-year is the day to send the kitchen god, and the kitchen god reports the good and evil behavior of this family for one year, so every household burns incense and worships on this day, usually offering fried rice fruits and sugar cakes and sweets. Why? It means to make him say something nice about dessert, hehe, it's very interesting. Kitchen God witnessed the daily necessities of the world, which is the most emboldened god.

Taking Xunwu village as an example, the following shows the Hakka fire custom.

the second type of housewarming: abundant crops.

Put five kinds of grain, silver dollars, coins and paper money on a tray and put them on the main table of the living room, which means "the five grains are abundant and rich".

Move up step by step.

Wrap red paper around the stairs, which means "climb up step by step".

Move up step by step.

Put up couplets.

The owner will ask someone in the village to write calligraphy. There are too few people who can write calligraphy now (sad for their ancestors), so they usually buy couplets directly.
