In the countryside, raising the beam for a new house is a very important event, after all, the main beam is the foundation of the entire house. If the main beam isn't set properly, then the house cannot be said to be good enough. Moreover, there are many particularities to observe during the raising of the beam.

Also, Chief Sun had specifically asked someone to find a straight and sturdy long wood, and when the wood was pulled back home, a red string was tied onto it to signify good fortune.
