There is a very important process in building a house: the upper beam. The upper beam refers to the process of installing the highest middle beam on the roof of the building. Although few people build wooden houses anymore, and there is no such process as raising beams, when the last floor of the house is capped, people will also choose an auspicious day to celebrate and do the beam mounting.

The beam-raising ceremony requires good pillars
A grand beam-raising ceremony must be held. First of all, you have to find beam trees (that is, trees used to make pillars). Usually when the house is about to be repaired, the owner will take the carpenter up the mountain to find suitable beam trees. Generally, fir trees are chosen as beam trees. The texture of fir trees is straight and dense, and they will not deform for hundreds of years. Wooden structure houses mostly use fir as beams and columns, which are not easy to decay and are less susceptible to termite infestation. Therefore, many ancient fir buildings are still well preserved today. In order for a fir tree to become a pillar, it must be accumulated over a long period of time. All fir trees that are twenty years old are white and loose in texture and are not suitable for use. After forty years, the color of the wood will gradually turn reddish and the quality will become stronger. Therefore, the older the tree is, the darker the color of the wood will be, and it can be called a good wood. . (Quoted from "Flower Classic"). The same piece of wood has different textures. The wood at the tip is loose and cannot be used for much purpose. As the saying goes: the tail of a fir cannot be used to make a main beam.
After choosing the beam tree, the owner will tie a red strip on the tree. Then, the night before the beam-laying ceremony is about to take place, he and the carpenter go up the mountain with torches to cut down the tree and bring it back to the new house to prepare. Before cutting down the beam tree, the carpenter must hold a prayer ceremony, and the owner must prepare chicken, fish, meat and other items, and also set off firecrackers. After cutting down the beam tree, the owner will leave a red envelope at the stump. The red envelope left by the owner can be taken away by others who see it.
The sacrificial process of mounting beams
There are also blessings and sacrificial messages from the craftsman to the master:
When mounting the beams, the carpenter will start to read: The cave gave me a chicken, with a crest on its head and a tail on its head, and a five-color dragon robe. Others would use it to ward off evil spirits, but my disciple used it to ward off the evil spirits, the evil spirits of heaven, the evil spirits of earth, the evil spirits of axes, the evil spirits of wooden horses, and the evil spirits of heaven. The evil spirits dissolve the sky, and the evil spirits of the earth dissolve the earth. A clear stroke is made in front of Luban's gate. God listens to the wooden man's instructions, and does not listen to the words of others. Today, I will help you to relieve the evil spirits. May you be blessed with good fortune and wealth for thousands of years.
When tying the red silk at both ends of the beam, he recited: The caves gave me two pieces of silk, (naming them) just like the flowing water in the clear mountains.
When the beam turns over, read: When the beam turns over, things will happen to the family, things will happen to the family, things will happen to the family, things will happen to the family, and people will be happy like the spring water.
When officially going up to the beam, I read: May you go up to the beam at a good time and at an auspicious time, the heaven and the earth will open up, and the huaiyin will come here, which brings good luck and good fortune. The first master is promoted to the head of the beam, congratulations to all the princes, and the second master is promoted to the tail of the beam, praying for the monarch's career forever. Liang Liang! ! !
After the ceremony, the carpenter ordered the cannon to be fired, and the ceremony was completed!
If it rains on the beams of a self-built house in rural areas, the owner will be happier. I think this is a blessing coming from God. The water from the sky can wash away all kinds of miasma, and the people in the home will be safer.
Things to note when mounting beams
Mounting beams is a big deal. You must choose a good and auspicious day, and secondly, burn incense. Just burn incense at home. It is better to chant sutras than to perform rituals. If you want to make an offering to the Earth Father and Tai Sui Bodhisattva, write two beautiful notes saying, Earth Father and Tai Sui Bodhisattva. It is best to plasticize them and place them on the Buddhist altar before offering them. It is best to choose apples as the fruit to bless you with peace. Buying flowers is the same as every step. The father-in-law of the land protects the peace of the land. Let the spirit not cause trouble. Tai Sui Bodhisattva is a deacon who travels in heaven and earth. Offering Tai Sui is to bless the peace of the earth. The tall tweed represents the upper beam and moving upward brings good luck and feng shui. There is no need to pray at the construction site, just pray at home. The Great Compassion Mantra 7 times, the Heart Sutra 49 times, and the Rebirth Mantra 78 times. Don't offer food. Burning in the morning and burning in the evening is the day when the beam is put on. You can recite sutras in advance. Not thinking about Little House. There is no need to write it down, just say it when you recite it and give it to the spirit on the day of the funeral.
Burn incense on time. Bodhisattva is very particular about timing. He must burn incense when he says.
