Offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God is an important activity on the day of the Little New Year. In addition to offering sugar melons and cakes, people also have to change the portrait of the Kitchen God. While taking down the old image of the Kitchen God, every household also has to "invite" back a new one. According to folklore, every year on the day of the Little New Year, the Kitchen God goes to heaven to report the good and bad deeds of the family to the Jade Emperor, who will reward or punish them. Therefore, when sending off the Kitchen God, people put candies, clean water, beans and hay on the table in front of the Kitchen God statue. Among them, the last three are preparations for the Kitchen God's mount for his ascension to heaven. There is a folk custom that "men do not worship the moon, and women do not worship the Kitchen God", so worshiping the Kitchen God is limited to men. 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.Folk customs of the Minor New Year: sweeping the dust. On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, sweeping the house: From the 24th to New Year's Eve, the Chinese people call this period of time "Welcome the Spring Day" or "Sweeping the Dust Day". "Sweeping the dust" means the year-end cleaning. Every household has to clean the environment, clear various utensils, take apart and wash bedding and curtains, sweep the courtyard, dust off dust and cobwebs, and dredge open and underground ditches on this day. Everywhere is filled with the atmosphere of happily cleaning up and welcoming the New Year in a clean manner. The purpose of sweeping the house is to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and to remove bad luck. After the Little New Year, there are only six or seven days left until the Spring Festival, and preparations for the New Year seem more intense. Folk customs of the Little New Year: eating kitchen candy. As the saying goes, "On the 23rd, sugar melons are sticky." During the Little New Year, people will buy sugar melons, Guandong sugar, sesame candy and other offerings, praying for the Kitchen God to have a sweeter mouth and say good things to him. Folk customs of the Little New Year: bathing. Both adults and children need to bathe and have a haircut. There is a saying among the people that "Whether you have money or not, you should get a haircut during the New Year." In Luliang area, people pay attention to washing feet on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. That evening, the mother-in-law and the children all washed their feet with boiling water. For ignorant girls, adults should also help them wash their feet clean to leave no dirt. There is a folk saying that goes, "On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, all wives and children should wash their feet. If one person does not wash his feet, he will have pus and watery feet for seven months." Folk customs of the Little New Year: After the Little New Year, people believe that the gods have gone to heaven and there are no taboos. There is no need to choose a date to marry a wife or a daughter, which is called a hasty marriage. There are a lot of wedding ceremonies held until the end of the year. There is a saying in the folk song, "At the end of the year, villages are busy with weddings, and Yichun’s invitations are sent to celebrate the spring. Sisters whisper to each other in front of the lamp, and this year’s staying up late is the bridal chamber." |
