In China, new residents are "catch their luck" with nets.

In some provinces of China, moving into a new home is celebrated with a colorful and spectacular ritual: the owners throw gifts—sweets, money, and small household items—from the balcony or roof. Neighbors and passersby catch them in mid-air with nets, believing that catching them brings good luck.

For the owners, this is a way to demonstrate their wealth and earn goodwill.
