What are the customs of the Little New Year?On the day of Little New Year, there is a custom of worshiping the kitchen god.The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, also known as "Little New Year", is the traditional day for people to worship the kitchen god. There is a traditional 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. Among China's traditional folk gods, the Kitchen God is one of the oldest. The Kitchen God had already become a traditional folk god revered in the Xia Dynasty. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial palace has included the worship of the Kitchen God in its sacrificial ceremonies, established rules for the worship of the Kitchen God throughout the country, and it has become a fixed ritual. The custom of worshiping the kitchen god on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month has a long history. The Kitchen God had already become a traditional folk god revered in the Xia Dynasty. In "The Analects of Confucius", which records the words and deeds of Confucius during the Spring and Autumn Period, there is a saying "It is better to flatter the stove than to flatter the emperor." During the pre-Qin period, worshiping the Kitchen God was listed as one of the "Five Sacrifices" (the Five Sacrifices are worshiping the Kitchen God, the Door, the Traveling God, the Household God, and the Central Thunder God. The Central Thunder God is the Earth God. Another saying is the Door, the Well, the Household God, the Kitchen God, and the Central Thunder God; or it can be said to be the Traveling God, the Well, the Household God, the Kitchen God, and the Central Thunder God). When offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, an altar tablet must be set up and rich food and wine used as offerings. You have to display the tripods and sacrificial vessels, set up the bamboo baskets and bowls, welcome the corpse, etc. It bears obvious traces of primitive fetishism. Everyone's destiny is different.
