In our country, we have to sacrifice the stove during the holiday. What's the point?

First, China's off-year is set on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, we will sacrifice to the kitchen stove, and every household will make a report, because this kitchen god is responsible for what the whole family did last year. It is said that they will report the situation of this family to the Jade Emperor on this day.

The Jade Emperor will punish or punish the behavior of this family, so people will stick honeydew melons to block the mouth of the kitchen god. In the sky, he can't talk nonsense. This day is a small year, so people will basically prepare their own new year's goods and then have a good year happily. There must be a new atmosphere.

Second, it is also a folk festival. According to folklore, every year on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God goes to the Jade Emperor to report the good and evil at home, so that the Jade Emperor can reward and punish him. So when sending stoves, people put candy, water, beans and sedge on the table in front of the kitchen king, among which the last three are Wang Shengtian of Kitchen God Mountain. When offering sacrifices to the stove, you must melt the candy with a torch and put it on the mouth of the kitchen god so that he can't speak ill of the jade emperor.

Thirdly, there is a folk custom that "men don't Yue Bai and women don't worship the kitchen", so the priests of the kitchen are limited to men. On New Year's Eve, the chef must come to the world with the gods to celebrate the New Year. On that day, there were ceremonies of "taking the stove" and "receiving the gods". After burning the car, the family spilled three glasses of wine and sent away the kitchen god. It's their turn to worship their ancestors.

After the New Year, people are still busy preparing other things. People want stick grilles to write Spring Festival couplets and prepare what he wants to eat in the first month to welcome the New Year. Many people hold weddings in these days, because on all the forgiven days, the wedding ceremony can be held directly without choosing a date.
