The "God of Vesta" is the god of food in ancient Chinese mythology. Greeting the god of Vesta, may there be three meals a day in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and there is a taste of happiness in trivial and small chai rice oil and salt. Therefore, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, every household will prepare flowers, fruits, animal gifts, clean towels and a basin of clean water to welcome the gods, and set off firecrackers to welcome the god of Vesta and the gods back to the world. There is a proverb that "sending the gods early and receiving the gods late", so the worship is usually chosen to start in the afternoon on the day of greeting the gods.
