Xiaonian does not refer to a specific day. Due to local customs, the days called "Xiaonian" are also different. The main folk activities during the Little New Year include sweeping the house and offering sacrifices to the kitchen god. The traditional folk festival of the Little New Year (the day for cleaning the house and worshiping the kitchen god) is on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. In most parts of the south, the ancient tradition of celebrating the Little New Year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is still maintained. Starting from the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the imperial family held a ceremony to worship the heaven on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In order to "save money", they also worshipped the Kitchen God. Therefore, the people in the northern region followed suit and celebrated the Little New Year one day earlier on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

Sacrificial Rituals

1. Place food, bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, tea and other offerings on the graves of ancestors, and then light three incense sticks in front of the graves.
2. Pour the first glass of wine after lighting the incense. After about 30 minutes or half of the incense is burned, one person will light three incense sticks for the second time and pour the second glass of wine.
3. When the incense is half burned, place offerings to the land god who looks after the grave, and then burn a piece of yellow paper to protect the ancestors from harm.
4. When the three incense sticks have burned out, remove the offerings and leave a small amount of money and other belongings to be burned on other graves to prevent other ghosts from stealing money and clothes from the ancestral graves after the people who visited the graves leave.
Things to note <br /> 1. Do not play around, run around, or mess around around the cemetery. Doing so is not only impolite, but also disrespectful to the ancestors.
Second, it is not advisable to wear bright red or bright green clothes, and pregnant women, the sick, and children under 7 years old should not go to sweep the graves.
3. When offering sacrifices, people usually say what they are going to do at the grave, why they are doing it, and hope that the ancestors will bless them, and everything will go smoothly and be safe.
