In addition, it is said that on the night of New Year’s Eve, the Kitchen God will come to the human world with other gods to celebrate the New Year, and there will be ceremonies of "welcoming the Kitchen God" and "welcoming the gods" on that day. After every household burns sedan chairs and horses, pours three cups of wine and sends off the Kitchen God, it is then their turn to worship their ancestors. The date for the Kitchen God worship varies due to different customs and habits in different places. According to existing written records, during the Southern Dynasties, the Kitchen God worship day was on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in some areas, which coincided with the Laba Festival. For example, it is recorded in "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji": "On that day, pork and wine are used to worship the Kitchen God." By the Song Dynasty, the Kitchen God worship had been combined with the Little New Year and was set on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. For example, Fan Chengda's poem "Sacrifice to the Kitchen God" goes like this: "According to ancient legend, on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God looks up to the sky and wants to speak. The cloud chariot and wind horses linger for a while, and every family prepares cups and plates for the rich sacrifice. The pig's head is cooked hot, and the two fish are fresh, and the bait is made of bean paste, sweet pine and powder. Men offer wine and girls stay away, and the Kitchen God is pleased by pouring wine and burning money. Don't listen to the quarrels of maids, and don't be angry at the filth of cats and dogs; I will send you drunk and full to the Heaven's Gate, and don't say anything about whether the ladle is too long or too short, just beg for the profits and share them when you come back." During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Little New Year was not called the Little New Year, but "New Year's Day". In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was called "Xiaojie Night". According to the "Dongjing Menghualu", the New Year's Eve was celebrated on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the city of Bianliang was very lively. Regardless of whether they were rich or poor, everyone was busy buying wine, meat, fruit, and gold and silver paper for sacrifice. ——From the historical origins of Xiaonian, we know that Xiaonian was not called "Xiaonian" in the Northern Song Dynasty, but became "New Year's Day".Folk customs of the Little New Year: eating kitchen candy.
