Congratulatory message on the building beam

Xinfa Town is a hilly area with no backing and no water. Therefore, private houses have no special style, mostly in the form of three mushroom hills, while the rich are mainly in the form of hard hills before and after, leaving patios in the middle.

The local people are very particular about building a house, and they all regard building a good house as the biggest thing in life. Therefore, we are very cautious in site selection and ground breaking date. A few days before breaking ground, please ask Mr. Wang to calculate the auspicious day of the ecliptic according to heavenly stems and earthly branches and set the gate position according to five lines of gossip for good luck.
