Building a house is a big deal at any time. After all, every family has saved money for a long time to build a house. And building a house is too professional. If you don't hire a professional carpenter, you can't do it at all.
Therefore, when building a house in the past, everyone was afraid that if the carpenter was not treated well, if the carpenter cut corners or deliberately left some minor problems when building a house, it would be particularly inconvenient and uncomfortable to live in the future.
It is precisely because of such scruples that we treat carpenters as guests and provide them with delicious food. For the sake of salary, I dare not default a point.
The second is because of fear of feng shui superstition.
Ancient people believed in the geomantic omen of houses. They are all worried that if carpenters secretly hide unclean things in the corner when building a house, it will destroy the geomantic omen of the house and may bring a lot of misfortune when they move in in the future.
It is said that someone offended the carpenter. As a result, the carpenter made a small move, which led to the destruction of the family at the beginning, but later things became more and more difficult to clean up and almost killed the family.
It is this incident that has played a warning role, so every household will politely invite a carpenter when building a house. During the whole process of building a house, they should be friendly to each other until the house is completed.
Third, building a house is a professional matter.
Because carpentry is a very professional job, although many people learned it at that time, few people could learn it. But there are many people who want to build a house, so there are not enough people. It is rare to invite carpenters.
