Regarding the idea of guarding the new house during the New Year, Xu Yiyi, a professor at the History Department of Nanjing University, said that in the past agricultural society, people believed that all things have spirits, and in order to regulate the relationship between humans and nature, people needed to perform some rituals. Initially, all these tasks were done by carpenters. However, compared with the past, from laying the foundation, to putting up the beams of the house, to people moving in, these practices have been greatly simplified now. Only the custom of guarding the new house is retained, which is believed in many places across the country and is widely circulated among the people.Guarding the new house is a ceremony for humans to declare to all living thingsPrivate space, do not disturb. "He said that in recent decades, there are still some reasons for doing so, and it is impossible to ask people to completely not believe in it. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people have a blind herd mentality, thinking that other families do it, so they should do the same.The custom of guarding the new house is related to the legend of the Kitchen GodAfter humans invented the method of making fire and cooking food, with the development of social production, stoves gradually became closely related to human life. The Kitchen God blesses the people with "a good harvest and abundant wealth". Legend has it that the Kitchen God goes to heaven from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to New Year's Eve to report the good and evil deeds of the host family to the Jade Emperor, which is what we usually call the Kitchen God going to heaven to report on his work. At this time, there is no god to protect the house, so someone needs to stay at home to guard it. Whether it is a new house or an old house, it is important to have popularity during the Chinese New Year. "Xu Yiyi believes that even though the original folk custom was superstitious, it has been passed down because it has been infused with deeper meanings such as warding off evil spirits and praying for blessings. This custom has been passed down and has become an indispensable part of Chinese traditional culture. There is no harm in following it.Summary: The above article is a specific analysis of why a new house cannot be "empty" during the first Chinese New Year. You can read it.
