A ground-breaking ceremony is an extremely important step to officially announce the conduct of construction activities on that land. Let’s join HoaBinh Events to find out the origin and meaning of the ground-breaking ceremony. 

What is a ground-breaking ceremony?

A ground-breaking ceremony is a ritual to worship the gods, the land, and the ancestors of the owner. In construction, this is considered an important step to officially announce the construction activities on that land. Therefore, the event was conducted rigorously and was full of rituals to ensure perfection, bringing luck and convenience to the home owner’s life.

The process of organizing ground-breaking ceremony

This is an important event, which means it is necessary to prepare well for the ceremony to take place as successfully as possible.

How do I prepare for the ground-breaking ceremony?

The next important part is to prepare for the ground-breaking ceremony. The more detailed the preparation, the more likely it is to avoid mistakes. Here are the details of the preparations for the event:

• Survey the event venue.

Things to avoid when organizing ground-breaking ceremony

Below, HoaBinh Events will share things to avoid when organizing ground-breaking ceremonies.

• Choosing inappropriate days for the ceremony 

Choosing the date and time of the event is always carefully considered. The project owner must choose the best date and time for his age and avoid bad days. In a bad situation, the home owner can borrow the age of those compatible with him. At the same time, home owners must only stay at a distance of 50 meters or more from home during the ground-breaking ceremony until the ceremony is completed before returning. This is considered one of the taboos during the event.

• Inadequate preparation of offerings

Besides choosing the date and time, companies and businesses need to notice what they need to know when preparing ground-breaking offerings. Some of the offerings required in the ground-breaking ceremony are wine, medicine, tea, salt, rice, water, Banh Chung, gold coins, five-fruit trays, betel nuts, flowers, etc.

Companies can ask for help from shamans to make a list of the necessary offerings. And prepare according to that list to buy the most complete ceremony trays. If you prepare enough offerings, it will be considered respectful to the ancestors. This is a taboo on a ground-breaking day that businesses must pay attention to.

Besides the spiritual element, this also carries significant meaning for the big projects of business investors. This means it marks the beginning of investment activities and confirms the project’s stature and value in the current market. With those significant meanings, it is required that all preparations for the event be carefully made to avoid unnecessary errors.
