What are the reasons why people give kitchen gods?
1, the folk sending kitchen gods is also called off-year. It is said that at the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month every year, Kitchen God will report the good and evil of this family to the Jade Emperor, so when sending Kitchen God, people will melt the Guandong sugar in his mouth with fire, so sending Kitchen God shows a good hope that Kitchen God can speak well of himself in front of the Jade Emperor.
2. Sacrificing the kitchen god is a traditional custom with great influence and wide spread among Han people. In the past, almost every kitchen had a kitchen god. People call this god "Bodhisattva in charge of life" or "Kitchen God in charge of life". It is said that he was named by the Jade Emperor as the "Nine-day East Chef who commanded the kitchen palace" and was responsible for managing the kitchen fires of various families. He is worshipped as the protector of his family.
