When does the Little New Year occur?

——Historical origin of Xiaonian date:
《1》During the Song and Ming dynasties, the date of the Little New Year was very clear. Zhou Mi's "Wulin Jiushi" said that it was the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.
《2》In the Qing Dynasty, starting from the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, the emperor would offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God during the La Festival on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. As a result, following the example of the superiors, some officials and gentry also began to worship the Kitchen God on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, resulting in the situation where the 23rd and 24th days coexisted.
——During the Ming and Qing dynasties, soldiers in military camps belonged to the military government. They must follow the emperor's custom of worshiping the Kitchen God on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.
——In the "Yuan'an County Annals" of the fifth year of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, it was recorded: "The soldiers in the barracks all worship the kitchen god on the night of the 23rd." The saying "military three, civilians four" probably originated from this.
》Little New Year in the North and South
Most of the northern regions: The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month - "Little New Year in the North"
——Since 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 northern regions mostly celebrated the Little New Year on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.
Most of the southern regions: The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month - "Traditional Chinese New Year"
——As early as the Song Dynasty, there were records of "celebrating the Little New Year 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 this day is still maintained.
