Timber Felling
Cutting down trees. The first step in obtaining materials for house construction in old times.
Refers to felling trees. In the era when old-style buildings were primarily wooden structures, this was the first preparatory process for obtaining lumber for house construction, where suitable trees were cut down to serve as the material source for subsequent processes like laying foundations, erecting columns, and making beams. Traditionally, going up the mountain to fell timber was not only physical labor but also involved the acquisition of forest resources, so an auspicious day was sometimes chosen, and relevant mountain forest customs and taboos were followed.
