Moving into new house

[myfs_168045]

In some customs require to walk over the clay stove before entering new house by all family members. And I notice in the YouTube that some boil water on the stove inside the house after finished crossing over by family members.

1) Can we drink the water after boiled or we just let the water evaporate itself after continuing boiling?

2) Do we throw away the clay stove after completed the moving in ceremony?

These practices are cultural in nature and are not associated with Feng Shui.

1. Most individuals prefer to drink water after it has been boiled and cooled.

2. Historically, once the charcoal stove was used, the owner or their mother would continue to utilize it alongside a modern stove. The charcoal stove would only be discarded when it became significantly worn.

2.1. Logically, it seems wasteful to dispose of a nearly new charcoal stove, leading many to retain it for future use, especially if they move to a new home, thereby repeating the process.

3. It is important to note that these observations are not absolute. Often, individuals consult their elders, who have extensive experience, and if their practices differ, it raises the question of who is truly correct.

Common sense is free

Many Chinese customs are also closely tied to fundamental common sense.

For example, majority find it a waste to throw away a perfectly good charcoal stove.
So who in their right mind would throw it away just after using it once? Duh!
