What’s the point of inviting Mr. Zaozao Wang from the second floor to the first floor?
What is the point of inviting the Kitchen God to the first floor? 1. It can be done on the night of December 23rd to express gratitude to the Kitchen God. You can buy Kitchen God paper for one yuan a piece. Can you see clearly that there are two couplets written on the side? It means God brings good deeds and the lower realms keep safe. It means that God will say good things to your family this year and will not say evil things. That is to say, I advise you not to do any evil and to do all the good. So everything you do is seen by the Kitchen God.
2. What are the offerings to thank the Kitchen God? 1. Three sticks of incense and a pair of red candles. Three cups of tea and glutinous rice balls (meaning that the Kitchen God will not report to the Jade Emperor if his mouth is sticky after eating the glutinous rice balls). Personally, I think this is completely superstitious. If your family has good things all year long, you will stick to the Kitchen God like this. Mouth, wouldn't it harm your family if he couldn't say good things? Besides, the Kitchen God is a god, so it's ridiculous to be able to seal his mouth with glutinous rice balls. Offering glutinous rice balls comes from the meaning of reunion. Soup represents wealth, and Yuan represents reunion. In other words, continuous source of wealth means reunion. Therefore, offering glutinous rice balls is a way to pray to the Kitchen God for continuous wealth and reunion. Peaceful and detailed. 2. Five fruits (you can provide any fruit as long as five). 3. One bowl of rice. The five dishes are all vegetarian and can be served in small bowls. 4. Offer sacrifices to stove fruits.
3. When everything is ready, light the red candle and then the incense. Put the incense in the incense burner and pray three times. Then you can say your wish to the Kitchen God.
4. When the incense and red candles are almost lit at a certain time, you can give them away. If the red candles and incense have not been lit, they can be wrapped in red paper and thrown into the river. Do not throw it into unclean garbage.
