Feng Shui MysteryThe act of moving earth for the first time during the renovation of a new house is called “earth moving”. In Feng Shui, building or renovating a house in the Yang Dynasty is called “moving the earth”, while building a foundation for a Yin Dynasty house is called “breaking the earth”.
The difference between these two words is just one word, but the usage scenarios are completely different.
Some homes are ready to renovate the ground, they run to check the old calendar, a look at the old calendar on the “today is suitable for groundbreaking” on this day, this is very embarrassing.
Because “suitable for groundbreaking” refers to today’s suitable for the construction of the Yin residence graves.
First, the earth moving to avoid the direction of the year of the tiger
Moving earth before, need to pay special attention to avoid the Tai Sui direction, so as not to violate the feng shui taboos. Tai Sui direction is mainly divided into the year plate Tai Sui and ground Tai Sui.
The year plate Tai Sui:
Determined according to the year of the year of the dry branch. For example, the year of the Ox corresponds to the twelve Earthly Branches is ugly, ugly is located in the northeast of the home, so the year of the Ox renovation, the northeast of the home can not be used as the first choice for earth moving.
Similarly, the Earth’s Branch corresponding to the Year of the Tiger is Yin, also in the northeast; the Earth’s Branch corresponding to the Year of the Rabbit is Mao, in the due east. And so on, you can determine the direction of the year plate Tai Sui according to the year.
Earth Plate Tai Sui:
Determined according to the orientation of the residence. If the house is facing north to south, then due north is the location of the Earth Tai Sui; if it is facing east to west, then due east is the location of the Earth Tai Sui.
Ground Tai Sui is also not suitable for earth moving, because it is the sitting side of the house, equivalent to the back of the head, earth moving the first knock on the back of the head of the house is obviously not appropriate.
Human disk Tai Sui (for building a house):
It also needs to be decided according to the zodiac sign of the homeowner and important members of the family. For example, the person belonging to the horse, the horse’s earth branch is noon, corresponding to the direction is the south, then the south is the homeowner’s taiyue square, theoretically also inappropriate to move the earth.
Second, the preparation and process of earth moving ceremony
After determining the direction that can be moved, the next step is to prepare for the earth moving ceremony.
Preparation of objects:
In the selected corner of the wall, placed in the earth moving ceremony required items.
This includes six bottles of Wanglaoji (divided into two piles of three bottles each), four apples (to represent the peace of the four seasons), three steamed buns (arranged in a zigzag pattern), a pair of red waxes, three sticks of red incense, and a piece of boiled pork of about three taels (to serve as a tribute).
In addition, it is also necessary to prepare the earth moving tool, the hammer, which can be tied with a golden cloth to represent the golden hammer.
Ceremony Flow:
Choose an auspicious day and time to move the earth.
After the arrival of the auspicious time for earth moving, red wax is lit first, then red incense. The man of the house will personally take the hammer and smash it into the wall three times.
At the same time, family members can assist in saying some auspicious phrases for the groundbreaking, such as “the golden hammer rings, gold ten thousand taels; the first hammer four seasons of peace; the second hammer eight parties come to wealth; the third hammer step by step rise; the golden hammer landing, great luck”.
Groundbreaking ceremony is just a symbolic knock on the wall three times, meaning good luck, not really want to smash the wall.
Third, the groundbreaking ceremony enhancement and follow-up
In order to make the earth moving ceremony more ceremonial, you can also add some processes and items.
Enhance the sense of ceremony:
You can prepare fifteen pieces of yellow paper without perforations and burn them after lighting incense and wax. This symbolizes the warming of the house before the pre-installation of the groundbreaking, warming the residence with fire and signifying a red-hot fire.
In addition, three wedding salutes can be prepared, and one salute will be fired with each knock during the knocking of the wall to add to the festive atmosphere.
Ceremony follow-up:
After the groundbreaking ceremony is completed, some of the items used, those that can be eaten can be taken home and eaten, and those that can’t be eaten can be thrown away directly. Thereafter, the decoration company can officially enter the site to start the renovation.
Renovation from anywhere is possible, even if the middle of the work stopped for special reasons, even if stopped for a year, continue to renovate does not need to repeat the ceremony, and no longer need to be jealous of the orientation of the problem.
