What sacrifices are needed to worship the Four Corners? How much do you know about the taboos of worshiping the four corners? For those who believe in Feng Shui and numerology, worshiping the four corners is an essential ritual when moving into a new home. But do you really understand the meaning, specific practices, auspicious times and taboos of worshiping the four corners? In this column, Uncle Qi will introduce you to the process of worshiping the four corners in detail, and share relevant knowledge and precautions, so that you can move into your new home more smoothly and with peace of mind.

    The origin of worshiping the four corners - is it actually "worshiping the five corners"?
    Worshiping the four corners is a folk custom in Guangdong and even Hong Kong. Legend has it that lonely ghosts like to stay in newly built or long-term uninhabited places. Such environments tend to gather Yin energy and affect the fortunes of the residents. Therefore, the ritual of worshiping the four corners is used to drive away these "friends", and at the same time, it is also a way to say hello to the land gatekeeper in the new home, and to pray for peace in the home and success in everything.
    Worshiping the four corners is actually worshiping the gods of the five directions and five earths, so it is also called "worshiping the five corners". The so-called four corners refer to the four corners of the whole house, not just the four corners of the living room.
    Q&A about Sijiao: Do ​​I need to pay Sijiao to rent a property or a second-hand property?
    Whether it is a new building, a rental building, or a second-hand building, Uncle Qi suggests that everyone should pay their respects and pray for peace of mind and a prosperous home. Even if you are renting a place, performing this ritual can add a sense of peace of mind to your living environment. Because everyone may not know who the previous tenant was, worshiping the four corners has the effect of purifying the home and driving away the previous negative energy.
    Q&A on worshiping the four corners: Choosing the day and time of worshiping the four corners
    If you are buying a new building, it is recommended to do the four-corner worship before the decoration begins; if you are renting a building, you can do it before moving in. In terms of choosing a day, you can refer to the Tongsheng Calendar and look for words such as "full day", "full day", "fixed day", "it is good to stay at home and pray for blessings", etc. These days are usually considered auspicious.
    When choosing a date, you should avoid moving on unlucky days such as "year break", "month break", and "four separations", especially the first to fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year and the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The above days are not suitable for moving. House into house.
    As for the time of day meeting, you can also refer to the auspicious time of Tongsheng that day. It is generally recommended to conduct it during the day. It is not recommended to worship the four corners at night, because the yin energy is stronger at night, which may affect the effect of the ritual.
    Worshiping the Four Corners Q&A: Offerings to Worship the Four Corners
    You can easily find the sacrifices required for worshiping the four corners at incense shops or paper shops. Generally, the sacrifices prepared include:
    - Special clothes paper for worshiping the four corners
    - 15 incense sticks
    - 5 small pieces of fatty pork with skin
    - 5 pairs of red candles
    - Soju and tea (including 18 worship teacups)
    - Five fruits
    - Five candies
    - A pile of shelled peanuts
    - 5 pieces of carrots (for placing incense candles)
    - Treasure bucket/tinfoil bag
    The process of worshiping the four corners
    1. After preparing the above required sacrifices and dividing them into 5 parts, you can start worshiping the four corners. First of all, the first step should be to place the landlord's clothes paper, a sacrifice, three cups of tea and three cups of wine in the center of the house.
    2. Then place the remaining four sacrifices in the four corners of the house, starting from the corner nearest the door and placing them one by one clockwise. You only need to serve three cups of tea in the four corners, no wine.
    3. After placing the offerings, place 5 pairs of candles on top of the carrots and light them. Then you can start lighting incense and walk around the whole house clockwise. Put your hands together and start to pray. At this time, you should state your name and that of your family members
    4. I told the gods that I would stay in this unit and hoped to be blessed by the gods. During this period, you should always say auspicious words, such as your home is safe, everything goes well, etc.
    5. After completion, you can place the incense in the four corners and the center of the house, with 3 sticks in each place. Wait until the incense candle is finished burning, then you can put away the clothes and paper to transform the treasure. According to the order of placement, put away all the clothes paper, light the clothes paper and put it in the treasure tray.
    6. After the treasure has been transformed, you can pack up all the sacrifices and throw them away. Then use a new broom to start from the corner of the hall and sweep out the door from the house. It means sweeping away dirt and bad energy.
    What are the taboos about worshiping the four corners?
    1. On the day of worshiping the four corners, you should dress lightly and avoid clothes that are too flashy or sexy, as this will be considered disrespectful to the gods.
    2. At the same time, if the auspicious day conflicts with the resident's zodiac sign, other residents should handle it on their behalf to avoid attending the ceremony themselves.
    3. Women cannot perform worship services during menstruation.
    4. Do not blow out incense candles with your mouth. Such behavior will be regarded as disrespectful to the gods and will offend the gods.

    I hope this column can help everyone understand more clearly the meaning, process and taboos of worshiping the four corners. In addition to worshiping the four corners, you should also pay attention to the Feng Shui layout of your new house and choose appropriate good-luck decorations to enhance the energy of your living environment.
