Who knows the name of Kitchen God?

There are basically two opinions about the name of the kitchen god:

1. Tang Lixian quoted the Miscellaneous Five Elements Book as saying: "The kitchen god is named Zen, with the word Zi Guo, wearing yellow clothes, wearing hair and coming out of the kitchen."

2. The Qing Dynasty's "Complete Book of Respect for the Kitchen" claimed that the kitchen gentleman's surname was Zhang, the list, and the word Zi Guo, and he was a male god.

the kitchen god is also called the kitchen god, the kitchen god, and the kitchen god is in charge of life. According to China folklore, Kitchen God reports to heaven on the 23rd night of the twelfth lunar month and returns to earth on the fourth day of the first month. It is the lowest-ranking fairy in myths and legends.

The kitchen god, whose full title is "The Chef of the East commands the nine spirits to make the king blessed", is commonly known as "The Kitchen King", or "The Kitchen King", "The Chef of the East commands the true king", "The Smoke Lord of the Nine Days", "The God of Protecting the House" or "The Kitchen King".

The Kitchen God accompanies the two gods, one holding a "good jar" and the other holding a "bad jar", and keeps a record of a family's behavior in the jar at any time, and then reports it to the Jade Emperor after the total at the end of the year. December 24th is the day when Kitchen God died, and God told the Jade Emperor what his family had done in the past year. The fourth day of the fourth month is the next day, and July 24th is his birthday.

the kitchen throne is usually located in the western wall. Some are on the big stove, and now the new building stove throne is generally on the stove and reservoir, indicating the meaning of storing wealth.

China's belief in Kitchen God in ancient times:

China is a country that believes in many gods. Among the many gods believed by people in ancient China, Kitchen God has the highest status among the people in China. As the folk saying goes, "Three sacrifices to the kitchen stove, four sweeps to the house ……", which means that the kitchen god is sacrificed on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Kitchen God, commonly known as Kitchen God, Kitchen Lord and Kitchen God, is a kind of deity worship developed from primitive fire worship.

primitive people learned to use fire in their long-term struggle with nature, which became one of primitive people's nature worship. In the life of primitive clans living in groups, the fire that never goes out is their stove, so in primitive people, Vulcan and Kitchen God are the same.

However, since the kitchen god came into being, his duties have nothing to do with fire or kitchen fire. He is the supervisor of the Heaven Emperor and the head of the family. He is responsible for supervising the merits and demerits of the old and young, and regularly reports them to the Heaven, so he is worshipped by ordinary people.

In ancient times, regardless of status, the kitchen altar was respectful to the kitchen god, from the palace, ministers to the common people. According to relevant data, every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Qing emperor routinely made a big sacrifice to the kitchen god in Kunning Palace, and at the same time installed the gods of heaven and earth, and the emperor made nine obeisances before the gods to welcome the New Year and celebrate the New Year.

On the day of offering sacrifices to the stove, the Kunning Palace set up a confession case, placed a sacred tablet, placed incense sticks in front of the sacred tablet, and set up a burning stove and a mattress in the hall. Like the folks in China, before Zao Jun ascended to heaven to report his work, he should seal his mouth with sticky sugar to prevent him from talking nonsense in front of the Jade Emperor. When offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove, the palace supervisor invited the emperor to burn incense and salute in front of the Buddha statues, statues and kitchen gods in Kunning Palace. After the ceremony, the palace supervisor invited the queen to salute the kitchen god and other gods in turn.
