"Laba porridge, have a few meals, and the porridge is boiling. 23、 Sacrifice to the kitchen god. The kitchen god is happy and says good things to heaven Listening to this song, I feel a strong new year atmosphere.

The 23rd and 24th of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar is also the traditional cooking day of our nation, also known as "Xiaonian". Generally speaking, the 23rd day is called Xiaonian in the north, and the 24th day is called Xiaonian in the south. Then why are the 23rd and 24th days called Xiaonian? It's a little story spread among the people.

It is said that before he became the kitchen god, he was also a common man named Zhang Sheng. After he got married, he left his wife at home all day and went out to have a good time on his own. Before long, his family was ruined and his wife left him. After that, Zhang Sheng made a living by begging. One day, he begged to his ex-wife Guo Dingxiang's house, saw his ex-wife, and thought of his past. He felt ashamed. He really had no face to eat the meal his ex-wife made for him, so he went under the stove and burned to death. Later, the Jade Emperor knew about it. The Jade Emperor felt that Zhang Sheng could make such a move, which showed that he was not bad. Since he changed his mind, he gave him a reward, made Zhang Shengfeng the king of the stove, and ordered him to return to each family on the 23rd and 24th of the twelfth lunar month every year, The Jade Emperor will also decide whether to reward or punish the family according to his return. On New Year's Eve, he returned to the bottom of the stove and began his supervision task for the new year.

To put it bluntly, the day of offering sacrifices to the kitchen king is the day when every family sends the kitchen king to heaven. The methods of worship vary from place to place, but most places will take down the statue of the kitchen king and stick it on the kitchen King's mouth with a special kind of sugar, which represents "sweet mouth". It is also hoped that the kitchen king will only say good things in return and make his family safe in the coming year.

This special kind of sugar is called "filling sugar" in the north. Xiaobian likes to eat it very much. It's crisp. It's hollow inside. It's wrapped with sesame seeds. It's delicious. I believe the kitchen Lord will fall in love with it after eating this. When did the worship of the kitchen stove King begin?

Among the people, the custom of offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God began during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. Every year, gods are sacrificed in the 23rd palace of the twelfth lunar month. In order to save money, the kitchen god is also worshipped together. The following aristocrats followed the example of the palace and gradually spread it to the people, so it became a custom. In the north, it was closer to the capital, and it was the 23rd lunar new year. In the south, it was farther away, and it was the 24th lunar new year. This is why the 23rd and 24th days of the twelfth lunar month are small years.

The new year is coming, the guest son angelica, and the hope of returning in the twelfth lunar month is like an arrow, which is haunted by the local voice. There are parents' expectations in the ticket stub.

The familiar wisps of smoke in my hometown are like countless homesickness from a dream. Nothing is happier than going home.

Xiaonian, whether you have money or not, go home for the new year. There is always someone who loves you, waiting for you.
