Origin and Legend of Sesame Sugar

The origin and legend of sesame sugar is to put some sugar in the mouth of the kitchen god, which means that when the kitchen god returns to heaven, he can help people say a few more good words in front of the jade emperor, so that he can talk well in heaven and bring us good luck underground.

In the north, we should eat sesame candy during the Spring Festival because it will paste everyone's mouth. In order to avoid saying unlucky things during the Chinese New Year, people came up with a way to eat sesame candy. It is said that they will also put a layer on the mouth of the kitchen god, which means that they can't tell the jade emperor about the delicious and luxurious scenes on earth. Let those who only know how to eat, drink and be merry be punished. If the Jade Emperor knows that last year brought famine, then next year will be a peaceful harvest year.
