Can I move during the Spring Festival?

There are two opinions. One is that you can move house as long as it is an auspicious day; the other is that you cannot move house in the first month of the lunar calendar, that is, no groundbreaking ceremony can be started in the first month of the lunar calendar. Here are the main reasons why you can’t move:
Not starting construction mainly refers to not starting large-scale construction or digging the ground in the first month of the year. Few citizens move house during the first month of the lunar year. On the one hand, because of the Chinese New Year, every family is reunited, and on the other hand, influenced by the custom of "not moving in the first month of the lunar year", people think it is not a good time to move in the first month of the lunar year.
According to folk tradition, the first month of the year is the most important month and is known as the auspicious month. In auspicious months, people will hold activities to worship heaven, thanking heaven for sending the Spring Festival and the start of spring. However, because heaven and earth are relative, while thanking heaven, one must also take care of its face, so no earth-moving activities are allowed.
The first month of the lunar calendar is a time for celebrating and reuniting families, so if possible, most people move into their new home before the end of the year, happily reunite around the fire in their new home, and greet the new beginning. Therefore, it is a traditional Chinese custom not to enter the house during the Spring Festival (before the Lantern Festival). After returning to normal life after the Spring Festival, you can choose an auspicious day to move into your new home.
Not only can they not move, 70% of customers will choose to renovate their homes after the first month of the lunar year, and very few customers will renovate their homes during the first month of the lunar year. It cannot be said that everyone is influenced by customs, but most people still care about it. Even if the decoration is not completed before the Spring Festival, they will ask the decoration company to continue the decoration after the first month of the year. Because my family believes in the custom of "not starting construction in the first month of the year", even though the decoration is not completed, we have to wait until February to start work.

The top ten taboos of moving!

1. Choose a good time and beautiful scenery for moving. You can refer to the "Daily Almanac" to choose a date; those recorded in the Almanac: Yima, Tianma, Dehe, Kairi, Chengri, Tianshe, Tianyuan, 4xiang, Shide, Pingyi Rixin, Yueen, etc. are most suitable for moving. Be careful not to record the following days in the almanac: 4 abandoned, 5 tombs, 4 separations, broken days, ordinary days, collection days, closed days, 4 ends, past deaths, return taboos, heavenly officials, great times, lunar disgust, lunar punishment, 3 evil days, etc. Also, see if this day conflicts with the zodiac signs of your family members. If so, choose another day. On this basis, find out the specific suitable time of the day and determine the suitable moving time. Usually you should choose daytime moving. Otherwise, moving at night may affect your luck.
2. Choose a new pillow when moving. Feng Shui believes that "moving into the house" is the transfer of the aura of the family members, so the pillow should be used first to move in: according to the number of family members, a new pillow is used to open the door and enter the house. Arrange them according to personal beds. In Hong Kong, Singapore and other places, Chinese people also put an envelope with 138 yuan hidden in the pillow in an attempt to "prosper".
3. When moving in, light 21 incense sticks, enter from the left side of the house, let the thick smoke sweep up and down the living room, rooms, toilets, kitchens, ceilings, walls and even the foot of the wall, exit from the right side of the house, go to a safe place outside, extinguish the incense and discard it. This is especially important for houses built on foundations with poor feng shui.
4. Special reminder: If you are pregnant, you should not witness the entire moving process. During the auspicious time on the moving day, it is best to do things like boiling water, cooking, and worshiping gods.
5. On the day of moving in, you must boil a pot of water, which means that your wealth will be abundant. At the same time, plug all kinds of sinks and basins (kitchen, bathroom, etc.), turn on the faucet, and let the water flow slowly; because the slow flow of water is long, it symbolizes a full table and a full bowl. You can also turn on the fan in the house to blow air around, but don't blow it towards the door, as this will indicate a prosperous future.
6. When moving, it is best to bring a rice jar or rice bucket filled with rice. Put a piece of red paper with "Always Full" written on it, or put an envelope with 168 yuan in it, which means "make money together".
7. If you are moving to a long distance, you should bring a handful of rice, a handful of soil and a small bottle of water to your new home in your carry-on luggage. This is especially true for people who move from one province or city to another, not to mention going abroad. This can prevent acclimatization and homesickness.
8. You must not be angry on the day of moving, and you must not curse at anyone, especially children. You must say auspicious words and do auspicious things.
9. Don’t take a nap in your new home on the day of moving, otherwise you will easily get sick in the future. When going to bed that night, the owner has to lie down for a few minutes and then get up and work for a short while, which means he has to get up again after going to bed.
10. On the first day or the first week after moving into the new house, you must have a housewarming party. That means you must invite friends, relatives, and neighbors to your home to have some fun: chatting, dining, or entertainment. The more lively the party, the better it is to ward off evil spirits.
