China folk "send the kitchen god" to eat sticky candy. What is this for?

Let the kitchen god put in a good word when he goes to heaven.

Twenty-three, send the chef to the West. With strong horses and forage, you will arrive safely. Melon is sweet and sweet. Please speak kindly to the Jade Emperor.

In ancient times, almost every kitchen had a kitchen god. Legend has it that he was named "Commander of the Nine-Day East Chef" by the Jade Emperor, who was responsible for managing the stoves of various families and was regarded as the patron saint of the family. Therefore, it is named as: Chef Dong, God of Human Supervision, Head of the Family, etc.

On the evening of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the family went to the kitchen first, set the table, and offered incense to the Kitchen God and honeydew melons in the shrine on the kitchen wall. And spread the honeydew melon on the kitchen god's mouth and said, "Say more good things and don't say bad things."
