Rural people still have these ideas about Feng Shui and destiny. Although these mysterious sayings about Feng Shui and destiny are all things that cannot be seen or touched, they have been circulated among the people. In the past, villagers in that era would ask local Feng Shui masters to read Feng Shui when they started building houses, and then they started construction after calculating their lives.

In the past, villagers often did these three things before building houses because villagers believed that Feng Shui and destiny could change wealth.

The first thing to do is to choose a day. It is very necessary to choose a good day to start building a house. In the past, those landlords or wealthy and powerful people had to choose auspicious days for building a house. There were detailed instructions on when to start construction. Of course, the owner would also give the Feng Shui master a big red envelope. In modern society, although we have a deeper understanding of science and knowledge in all aspects, we will choose a good day to start construction in rural areas to achieve good luck.

The second thing is to build a house is to put on the beam and purlins. Time chooses the time of "full moon" and "high tide" to achieve family reunion and money comes like a tide. The carpenter, pray first, muttering something, but I don’t know what to say. Then firecrackers were set off, crackling firecrackers and falling red paper scraps announced to the whole village that a new house was about to be completed. The old people in the village said that the Shangliang here are very important and will have an impact on their future fortune, so they will give the carpenter a big red envelope when they are on the beam. Our modern buildings are all reinforced concrete, so there are some places where we have not done this.

The third thing is that when the cap is closed, firecrackers will be set off and workers will be invited to have a meal. This means that the house has been completed. First, the owner is to thank the workers for their hard work, and second, to celebrate the successful completion of the house.
