"Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky, the stove lord will go to heaven"
Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month,
It is also a small year of northern tradition.
This day is often seen as a prelude to the Spring Festival,
After a small year, it will begin to enter the rhythm of the New Year!
Probably the mood of netizens looking forward to the New Year is the same
Early in the morning, a number of related topics rushed to the hot search
In the New Year, there is an important folk activity, that is, "sacrificial stove".
In folklore, the duty of the "vesta god" is to take charge of the stove fire, manage the diet, supervise the family's actions for a year, and report to the "Jade Emperor" in the early year to set rewards and punishments.
Because in daily life, it is inevitable to bump and bump, people are worried about the "Vesta God" to make a small report, so they send the Vesta God on the day of the small year to "sacrifice the stove", which is similar to the "Vesta God" set, also known as "Mesmerizing Stove". When offering stove candy to the "Stove King", he prayed that "spicy and smelly, stove jun Mo Yan", expecting him to say more good things after the day after tomorrow.
"Sugar melon sticky" is also hoping to use the stickiness of maltose to make the "vesta god" open less after eating, at least not to say bad things.
In ancient times, the "sacrificial stove" was a very important thing, belonging to one of the five shrines. The "sacrificial stove" ceremony existed in the Xia Dynasty, and it was only fixed after the Han Dynasty that it became one of the customs of the Xiaonian Dynasty.
Of course, as the saying goes, "officials three people, four boats, five families", it is said that the old government office "sacrificed the stove" on the twenty-third day of the waxing moon. Folk is the twenty-four "sacrificial stoves", and the boat house is the twenty-five "sacrificial stoves". Therefore, in many places, the time of the "sacrificial stove" is not uniform.
Annual heat knowledge: The "little year" in the north is the twenty-third lunar month, while the "small year" in our south is the twenty-fourth lunar month.
Folklore experts have examined that this is because during the reign of the Qing Yongzheng Emperor, he advocated saving money and abandoning luxury and simplicity, and he changed the original two-day sacrifice of the heavenly heaven and the vesta god to the same sacrifice in one day. The people in the north followed suit, and the day of worship to the god of Vesta was changed to the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar one day earlier; while the south was far from Beijing and was not affected, so they followed the custom of offering the god of vesta on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar calendar.
