Why do we grind tofu on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month?

“On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, grinding the mill to make tofu” is actually the beginning of preparations for all the necessary “New Year’s goods” for old Beijingers during the Spring Festival. The “腐” in “豆腐” (tofu) is homophonic with the “福” (happiness), so tofu represents praying for “blessings”.
According to research, tofu was invented by Liu An, King of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty. Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote in his poem "Tofu": "I planted beans but the sprouts were sparse, my strength was exhausted and my heart was rotten. If I had known the Huainan technique earlier, I would have sat back and got the spring cloth."
In some places, there is a custom of "eating tofu dregs" before New Year's Eve. The reason for this is a local legend, which states that after the Kitchen God reports to heaven, the Jade Emperor will come down to the mortal world to check whether each household is doing as the Kitchen God reported. So each household "eats tofu dregs" to express their hardship and avoid the Jade Emperor's punishment.
Legends are legends, but "eating tofu dregs" actually means that productivity was low in ancient times and there were not so many delicious foods. It is also a portrayal of the virtues of diligence and thrift of our ancestors.
In fact, on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, people have some other customs besides "grinding tofu" due to differences in different places.

How to choose an auspicious day and time to install the bed?

In Feng Shui, we must choose an auspicious day for bed installation before setting up the bed. The specific method is as follows:
1. Generally speaking, before setting up the bed, we should first check the lunar calendar, choose an auspicious day and time, and then set the bed upright on the auspicious day and time.
2. Of course, not all auspicious days marked as "setting up the bed" on the old almanac are suitable for setting up the bed. We also need to refer to the householder's birth date and zodiac sign conflict. For example, if the lunar calendar conflicts with the zodiac sign of dragon on that day, then if there is a family member who is a dragon, you should not choose to set up the bed on that day.
3. If the house is empty and no one lives in it, then we don't need to choose an auspicious day for placing the bed in advance. Just move the bed there when it is convenient for you and make sure it is in the right position, but don't adjust it. Once you've confirmed the check-in time, choose an auspicious day in advance, and then adjust the bed.

Your fortune will change over the years, but if you predict and understand it in advance, you can nip it in the bud and make full preparations, making your life journey smoother!
