Chinese housewarming to a new home is particularly particular, and the Yang family is from the hometown of Confucius and Meng, so these etiquette numbers are not missing at all in Yang's mother's heart.

When you enter the house, you can't enter the house first, but you have to worship the gods of the Quartet first, burn incense and set up a case to worship the three animals and five fruits, and all the people who enter the house must worship before they can move in.

Mother Yang cares about this very much, so she is very meticulous in her work, her eyes are always staring at the servants and maids to prepare everything, and she can't afford to be slow and sloppy.

This is obviously a bit too much of a toss, but Yang Huairen can only smile and let his mother smile, even if his mother speaks, even the four youngest children in the family can't let go of such a thing.

The big official is already walking like flying, hehe, maybe it's a bit exaggerated to say this, but don't look at the little guy's age, but a pair of small thick legs are still full of strength, not only does he not walk at all, but he also steps on the floor with tiger head boots.

He Zhiyun obeyed Yang's mother's words the most, she took the big official to kowtow to the invisible town house fairy, and muttered some polite words to bless the children and grandchildren of the house, and the big official was already busy reaching out to grab the fruit on the case and eat it.

Mother Yang saw that her eldest grandson liked it, but the things offered to the gods could not be moved, so she quickly ordered Chun'er to bring the child over, and she, who was a grandmother, peeled citrus for the child to eat.

Xiao Yu'er is well-behaved and clever, and Yang Huairen loves her the most, and she is not as dexterous as her eldest brother, but Lian'er still helped Xiao Yu'er to kneel down and worship the gods according to her mother-in-law's request.

The big cow is too small, and it hasn't been issued yet, but it can't be exempted, and Tie Xiangyu and the nurse still held the child and made a big gift.

Only Lan Ruoxin couldn't bend down with a big belly, so she could only let the two maids support her and kneel, which was considered to be giving the fairy face, and there was no way to worship.

Sister Ghost also worshiped with several sisters, but she didn't understand which way she worshipped the immortals, but she just felt that her mother-in-law was very solemn, and she should also take it seriously.

The only two who are not serious are the two brothers and sisters of Yang Huairen, and they have to do face-saving things, but when worshipping the gods, Yang Huairen has some other words in his heart.

If there are really immortals, I will bless my family, my brother has a big life, and I don't need to bother with the old gods to bless me.

When the second girl kowtowed to the fairy, she also muttered something, looking at her expression, she knew that there were no good words, this girl slowly grew up, and it was the time to rebel.

Yang Huairen is too lazy to care about her, it's not that he, the eldest brother, is incompetent, but the second girl has a strong temperament, and she has gone farther and farther on the road of a female man, and she can't turn back for a long time.

After a little long-winded for half an hour, after worshipping the fairy Yang Mu, she began to arrange the courtyard and room for everyone to move in.

The number of rituals to move to a new home here is actually not over, and the traditional ritual of burning the bottom of the pot is still indispensable.

It is impossible to find out when and where the custom of burning the bottom of the pot came from, but this folk custom, which has been prevalent in later generations, was quite particular in the Song Dynasty.

The so-called burning pot bottom, the literal meaning is very clear, that is, when relatives and friends move to a new house, everyone comes to give gifts and eats by the way.

And after a big meal, the main family naturally has to open the stove, and when the stove is cooked, it is necessary to heat the pot first, that is, to burn the bottom of the pot.

The emergence of this form of custom should not be difficult to understand, first, since ancient times, the Chinese have regarded eating as a top priority, and secondly, the way of heating the cooking pot is used to symbolize the prosperity of the life after the main family moves to a new home, which is just right.

When Yang Huairen focused on arranging the families of his brothers and soldiers, he deliberately took a look at the stoves of each family, which must be brand new.

In addition, the rice grain of each family is still supplied by the Yang Mansion, which ensures that everyone has no worries.

The brothers are now working in the army in various places, and they haven't had time to come back to see their new home, so their family, Yang Huairen must take care of it.

Yang Huairen didn't have any friends in Jiangnan, so he originally planned to get together with his family and have a big meal, even if the bottom of the pot was burned.

I didn't expect that I had just moved in, and the porter was not familiar with the new environment, and someone had already sent countless greetings.

Yang Huairen felt funny in his heart, he didn't want to get involved in officialdom, and he didn't have much to do with the literati, but most of the people who came to send the greetings were local officials in Hangzhou and families who claimed to be scholars.

And there are some local squires and celebrities, but there are not many businessmen, thinking that either the businessmen feel that they are humble and cannot climb the prince, or they are scared of the township donations.

The purpose of sending the greeting post is mainly to greet, even if it is to do some courtesy, but in fact it will not come to the door in person, the idea of hierarchical differences between people is deep-rooted, and no one will take the liberty of raising their own value and falling into the laughing stock of others.

Most people still make an appointment to say that they will send a gift to the door, but people will not come, and those who really say that they want to visit in person are only some local officials.

Yang Huairen never refused to accept gifts, and even the official family acquiesced in his acceptance of gifts, and no one would use this matter to arrange Yang Huairen.

The social atmosphere is very strange, the literati regard themselves as high-minded, but the money exchange will not directly rely on the transfer of interests, and the exchange of gifts between officials will only be regarded as a courtesy exchange, and even feel that courtesy is a kind of elegance.

If you want to say this, Yang Huairen also thinks that he is very elegant, anyway, no matter how many gifts he receives, he will not help others, let alone have anything to do with the loss of public fat and private interests, and he is happy to accept gifts without any ideological pressure.

Therefore, the burning of the bottom of the pot has more practical significance among the common people, and it has become a symbolic ritual in the homes of people with status and status.

Despite this, the symbolism is also indispensable, Yang Mu feels that no matter whether this matter is related to the Lord of the Stove or not, but the day must be chosen well, and the banquet must be held, as for whether people come or not, it is someone else's business.

The bottom of the pot is generally selected on the day of every nine days as the best, and the day is the sun, which means that their own days are thriving, and they are prosperous and prosperous, which can be said to be full of color.

On the ninth day of October, a brazier was placed at the door, and the dried bamboo pole was thrown into the brazier, and the bamboo made some crackling sound when it burned, which was to announce to the neighbors that my house burned the bottom of the pot today, and everyone was welcome to come to congratulate.

Yang Huairen, the head of the family, naturally set up a few tables in the middle hall to feast and feast on those local officials in Hangzhou, and the rest of his own family, the men in the front yard drank and had fun, and the women in the back house also gathered together to drink and celebrate.

After that, the door god hung a peach charm on the door, and a pair of words were pasted on the lintel, and the book "live and work in peace and contentment" was generally written to express the good wishes of the owner's family.

It is not until the end of the banquet that the guests who came to the main house to burn the pot go out with souvenirs, and the ceremony of burning the pot bottom of the main house is not over.
