What gods do you welcome during the New Year?

One of the important customs of the Little New Year is to offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God and send him off.
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.

The meaning of Xiaonian

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. The concept and date of "Little New Year" vary from place to place. In the north it is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, in most parts of the south it is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions both "the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month" and "the night before New Year's Eve" are called Little New Year, in Nanjing area the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is called Little New Year, in some parts of Yunnan the date of Little New Year is the 16th day of the first lunar month, and in some parts of the southwest and north the date of Little New Year is New Year's Eve.
