Vows should be read clearly and sincerely. Avoid the case of both praying and reminding or talking to people around.

Preparing for the ceremony to enter a new house

The first thing before the initiation ceremony is to light the brazier and place it in the middle of the main door. In order to save time, you can take advantage of the time before the truck carrying the goods and the offerings to go home, you come first and have the brazier on fire.

When the truck has just arrived, you arrange the ritual offerings to enter the house neatly. You get everything ready to conduct the housewarming ceremony on time.

The homeowner, the breadwinner, will step through the brazier first. The man stepped in with his left foot first, then his right foot. With incense bowls in their hands, the next people carry the ancestral tablets and other important things on the altar.

The remaining members step through the brazier one by one. Note that all members must hold something lucky in their hands, not empty-handed.

When entering the house the first thing is to turn on all the lights and open all the doors and windows. Doing this helps you open the air, wake up the house.

Then send family members to rearrange the altar of ancestors, the altar of God of Wealth and Earth (if any) so that it is neat. Some other members proceeded to display an offering tray in the middle of the house. The offering ceremony tray is directed towards the age of the owner.

Turn on the stove to cook tea, so let the water boil on the stove for 5 to 7 minutes to brew. Tea is used for offerings and for family members to enjoy. Cooking this water implies fire, creating new life for the house.

The focus of the ceremony to enter a new home

Send a representative to burn incense and read the vows to enter the new home. The rest of the people stood behind the representative, clasping their hands solemnly in front of the offering tray.

Read the vows loud and clear, reading from the vows to the gods first and then to the ancestors.

After the vows are read, burn the votive paper until it is completely burned, then pour wine into the ashes.

People celebrate the festival and have a meal like any other normal ceremony.

3 jars of salt, rice, and water should be kept and placed on the altar, this is a symbol of fullness.

At this point, considering the entrance ceremony has been completed, you can bring all the furniture into the house and rearrange it as you like.

Other items to prepare

Offering to enter a new house, it is necessary to prepare items that everyone must carry such as: a new broom, a stove (do not use an electric stove because folk believe that an electric stove is pure but has no generals, that is, there is heat without fire) , rice, salt, wine, gold, money, etc. After preparing everything fully, the homeowner began to arrange the offerings on the offering tray, placed in the direction suitable for the owner’s par.

The host himself will light incense sticks, plug them into the incense bowl, and ask for permission to enter the temple. At the same time, ask the gods for permission to bring the spirits of the ancestors back to the new place of worship. After the end of the divine vow, the householder continues to make a report to invite the ancestors to their new home.

Step 1: Burn the brazier and place it right at the entrance.

Step 2: Put the offerings on the tray, get everything ready to conduct the offering to move into the new house.

Step 3: The host is the one who walks through the brazier first (left foot first, right foot behind). The owner’s hand needs to carry a bowl of incense and an ancestral post.

Step 4: Other family members also step through the brazier in turn. All the members carried the prepared lucky items in their hands.

Step 5: The first thing when the homeowner enters the house is to turn on all the electricity and open all the doors ⇒ open the ventilation, wake up the house.

Step 6: In the meantime, the members should rearrange the altar of the ancestors, the altar of the god of wealth – the land. The rest of the members present a tray of offerings to the house in the middle of the house, facing the direction of the owner’s age.

Step 7: Representatives of the family light incense and recite vows, the rest should put their hands together solemnly and stand in one place.

Step 8: After conducting the vows, the host needs to turn on the stove and cook the tea. It is best to let the water boil for 5-7 minutes and use it to make tea. The brewing of this tea has the meaning of opening fire, creating vitality for the new house.

Step 9: Proceed to convert gold coins, pour wine on the ashes.

Step 10: Keep 3 jars of salt, rice and water to put on the altar of Tao Quan – symbolizing warmth and fullness.

Step 11: At the end of the ceremony, bring the offerings inside.
