So how do we worship the Kitchen God during the 2019 Little New Year’s Eve? What are the taboos on the Little New Year’s Eve? It is the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 2018, and the coldest days of winter have arrived. Follow Mr. Shui Mo's website and we will accompany you through the cold winter.How to worship the Kitchen God during the 2019 Little New Year?The Kitchen God worship ceremony is usually held at night.When offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, the worshiper kneels in front of the Kitchen God statue and holds a rooster in his arms. Some people also let children hold a chicken and kneel behind adults. It is said that the chicken is the horse that the Kitchen God rides on when he ascends to heaven, so the chicken is not called a chicken but a horse. If it is a red rooster, it is commonly known as "red horse", and if it is a white rooster, it is commonly known as "white horse". After burning incense, the house is filled with smoke, full of mystery. The male host poured the wine, kowtowed, and muttered something. After finishing reading, the person offering sacrifices to the kitchen god shouts “Ling!” and then pours wine on the chicken’s head. If the chicken's head flutters with a sound, it means the Kitchen God has appreciated your kindness. If the chicken head does not move at all, you need to water it again. Why is Xiaonian also called Kitchen God Festival?Offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God means sending the Kitchen God to heaven, so the Little New Year is also called the Kitchen God Festival.According to folklore, the Kitchen God was originally a star in the sky. Because he made a mistake, he was banished to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor and became the "Eastern Kitchen God". He sits in the middle of the kitchen stove in every household, recording how people live and behave. Every year on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God goes to heaven to report the good and evil deeds of the family to the Jade Emperor, who will reward or punish them. What are the taboos on New Year’s Eve?1. According to legend, in some areas of Hubei, people are forbidden to slaughter animals on the day of the Little New Year.2. In some places in Henan, people are taboo about pounding garlic, believing that pounding garlic during the Little New Year will make the family poor. 3. In some areas of Beijing, old Beijingers avoid cooking on the day of Little New Year. They only eat candy, so that the Kitchen God can "say more good things." 4. In Taiwan, people avoid pounding rice. It is said that this may bring down the god of wind, which may bring about wind disasters in the coming year. 5. Children in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province must be obedient during the Little New Year, otherwise they will be beaten. 6. Only men can offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God. 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.
