Summary: Since raising beams is in the taboos in the almanac today, May 25, 2020 is not a suitable day for raising beams!Analysis of the beam raising process!1) Offering sacrifices before raising the beamOffering sacrifices to the beams before raising them is an essential procedure. People carry the main beam covered with red paper or red silk into the front of the new house, and place offerings such as pigs, fish, chickens, geese, eggs, tofu, incense and candles on the altar, while bricklayers, carpenters and others say nice words and toast. 2) The process of raising the beam is particular After the beam sacrifice is completed, the craftsmen will lift the main beam onto the roof or pull it up with a rope. When lifting or pulling the beam, firecrackers will be set off and the beam-raising master will sing a beam-raising song and shout "Go ahead, good luck!" During the beam-raising process, some places require that the main beam be lifted up steadily, and it is taboo to lift the beam one way or the other, or to tilt it up or down. But in some other places, the east end of the beam is often higher than the west end when putting up the beam, because the east end represents the "green dragon" and the west end represents the "white tiger", and according to the requirements of geomancy, the "white tiger" should be lower than the "green dragon". After stabilizing the main beam, the owner will move the "colorful bags of grains" sent by relatives and friends to the roof and place it in the middle of the beam, which means a good harvest. He will also drape red cloth on the beam. In some places, a pair of cloth insoles are sewn at the bottom of the red cloth, which means laying a solid foundation for the owner of the new house. In some places, a red cloth bag filled with red dates, peanuts, rice, wheat, evergreen, etc. is hung in the middle of the main beam, which symbolizes "blessings, wealth, longevity, happiness, and eternal prosperity." 3) "Throwing the beam" after putting it up Afterwards, the craftsmen will wrap the fruits, food, etc. in red cloth, and throw the cloth bags into the basket held up by the host with both hands while saying nice words. This procedure is called "receiving the bag", which means catching the treasure. The most lively procedure of the beam-raising ceremony is "throwing the beam". When the host "takes the bag", the craftsman will throw candies, peanuts, steamed buns, copper coins, "gold ingots" and so on from the beam to the surroundings, letting the men, women, old and young who come to watch the fun scramble for them. The more people come, the happier the host is. This act is called "throwing the beam", which means "money rolling in." When "throwing the beam", craftsmen have to say auspicious words. They often say: "Throw the beam to the east, the sun rises in the east and the house is full of red; throw the beam to the west, the unicorn will deliver a child and it will be a double happiness; throw the beam to the south, the descendants will become top scholars for generations; throw the beam to the north, the store of rice will be full every year." After the beams are thrown, everyone moves out of the new house and lets the sun dry the beams, which is called "drying the beams". Finally, the host holds a banquet to entertain the craftsmen, helpers, relatives and friends, and distributes red envelopes, and the entire beam-raising ceremony is concluded.
