Tuan Niande, tell me about it.

1. offering sacrifices to a stove: also called offering sacrifices to a stove or giving a small year, it is a very popular folk activity. It is a sacrificial ceremony for the people to send the kitchen god back to heaven to report his work. Most of them are held at the evening of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, with sesame candy, honeydew melon, jiaozi and other foods as tributes, praying for the kitchen god to protect the safety of the whole family. ?

On this day, people will worship the kitchen god and grandma by the kitchen stove. A pair of couplets should be put on both sides of the statue. The first couplet reads "Heaven speaks well", the second couplet reads "The lower bound is auspicious", and the horizontal batch is "the head of the family". In addition, in order to make the Kitchen God speak well in front of the Jade Emperor, people take honeydew melon as a tribute, which means "sweet mouth".

2. Sticking Spring Festival couplets: Originated from the ancient "Fu Tao", the names of Shen Tu and Lei Yu were written on a mahogany board and hung by the door to ward off evil spirits. ?

In the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's "Days in January" wrote: Amid firecrackers, the spring breeze came from send warm to Tu Su. The rising sun sheds light on doors of each household, New peachwood charm is put up to replace the old. "

As a custom of exorcising evil spirits and keeping peace, Fu Tao has been used by people until now, but it has gradually evolved into Spring Festival couplets and door gods. Now all kinds of Spring Festival couplets and door gods are very beautiful, and they also extend the role of decoration.
