The great cold to the beginning of spring is the time of the new and the old, and every time the cold season comes, people begin to be busy removing the old cloth and the new, picking up dishes, and preparing for the New Year. Festivals such as festivals such as the stove and Chinese New Year's Eve are also in the cold.
"Sacrifice stove" is to sacrifice the god of stove, usually in the lunar calendar on the twenty-third day of the waxing moon, the folk have the saying "twenty-three, sacrifice stove official".
In the old days, the people had a stove king god seat in the stove, people called the stove king Si Ming or Si Ming Bodhisattva, legend has it that he was the Jade Emperor sealed the "Nine Heavens East Kitchen Si Ming Zhao WangFu Jun", responsible for managing the stove fire of each family. Most of the vesta shrines are located on the north or east side of the stove house, with the statue of the king of vesta in the middle.
On the twenty-third night of the lunar month, the day when the stove king went to heaven, on this day, every household used corn or millet to make "sacrificial stove sugar", and at night, the sacrificial stove was sacrificed, which means to block the mouth of the stove king, so that he would not report blindly after the day. On this day, firecrackers will also be set off to send stove gods and so on.
