How does the kitchen god offer incense?
Kitchen God is commonly known as "Kitchen God", and also known as "Master Ming Zhenjun", "Tianzun" and "Mars Jun". The full name is "Oriental chef points nine spirits, and Wang Yuan is the capital of Shen Jun".
On the fourth day of the first month of each year, the Jade Emperor sends the Kitchen God down to supervise every household, so he "receives the Kitchen God" on the fourth day of the first month. 1Feb. 24th, he went to heaven to "report on his work" and report to the Jade Emperor the merits, good and evil on earth. 1On February 24th, "Xie Zao" will be held, which is the origin of Xie Zao.

There is also the custom of "three officials, four people, four Dan and five families", which means that officials should thank the kitchen god on1February 23, and tell all the good words to the kitchen god one day earlier than the civilians; 1On February 24th, ordinary people held a thank-you ceremony, while the houseboat chose1February 25th to hold a thank-you ceremony.
On auspicious days, it is auspicious to thank the family for making a house.
Today, because of the convenience of work, many people see Tong Sheng after1February 14. In the column of "taboo" for children, you can choose to thank the stove when you see a day suitable for "sacrifice" and "prayer". Or stars with daily values such as Tiande, Yuede, Sanhe, Liuhe and Tianzhu can also be used.

1. Sweet and sticky foods such as soup pills or maltose are used to make it easier for the chef to talk to the Jade Emperor after eating sweets; And stick his mouth to prevent him from opening his mouth to speak ill of him. If you don't have soup balls or maltose, you can use sliced sugar or some sand sugar. In modern times, chocolate can be used instead.
2. You can use five kinds of fruits, such as oranges or apples.
3. Three cups of tea and wine per person.
4. A pair of three longevity incense sticks, three incense sticks and nine red or dragon candles.
5. A piece of paper to worship the ruler of the kitchen. (You go to the incense shop and explain that it is the clothes paper used by Kitchen God. They will take all the clothes paper they need. )
Xie Zao plan
1. First, put the sacrifice and the gold and silver paper in front of the kitchen god. At present, in Hong Kong families, few people worship the statue of the kitchen god, but generally worship the wooden board with the words "Ding Fu Kitchen God" written on it.
2. First light a pair of red candles and put them on the incense burner.
3. Light three sticks of longevity incense and put them in the incense burner, then light three sticks of incense, say some words of gratitude in front of the kitchen god with incense in hand, then pray for good health, prosperous business, promotion and salary increase, let the kitchen god tell the Jade Emperor, and finally worship three times and put the incense in the incense burner.
4. Burn gold and silver clothes and paper to ashes, and drink tea and wine. Because Hong Kong is shallow and narrow, it is not suitable for cooking clothes and paper in the kitchen. You can light a Jamlom fire in the kitchen, take it outside and let it melt immediately. Everything is based on the principle of safety, and there is no need to stick to the custom of worshipping the kitchen god and burning clothes in the kitchen.
