the traditional chinese observe a certain ritual which involves using a red stove. i am not sure of the significance of this practice. i was told by a friend that the stove with the burning charcoal had to be placed at the threshold. the two house-owners, presumably the husband and wife, had to walk over it, uttering some ‘lucky’ words as they skipped over the flame.

What is this ritual? And what does it involve? Find out this, and other related practices here.
