custom

Every year on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God reports the merits and demerits to the world, which will determine people's fate. Therefore, the north is used to offering sacrifices and burning incense to the Kitchen God on the 23rd night of the twelfth lunar month. The custom in the south is to offer sacrifices to the kitchen owner and burn incense on the evening of the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.

In the old days, there was also a difference between the gentry's family sending stoves on the 23rd and the common people's family sending stoves on the 24th. Sacrifice to the kitchen god often uses sugar ingots, fried rice sugar, peanut sugar, sesame sugar and glutinous rice balls to block the mouth of the kitchen god and not talk about human sins. The world says that "God speaks well, and the lower bound keeps peace".
