Fortune Teller.com has prepared some information about the 2018 Chinese New Year's Eve. Click in to learn more! Little New Year’s Eve, a traditional Chinese festival, is also the traditional day for worshiping the kitchen god. That is the Little New Year.
An old saying about eating kitchen candy goes, "On the twenty-third, the sugar melons are sticky, and the Kitchen God is about to ascend to heaven." Eat stove sugar. Stove sugar is a kind of malt sugar with great viscosity. When it is drawn into a long stick, it is called "Kanto sugar". When it is drawn into a flat round shape, it is called "sugar melon". In winter, it is placed outside. Because of the cold weather, the sugar melon solidifies and there are tiny bubbles inside. It tastes crispy, sweet and crunchy, with a unique flavor.
Every household has to write Spring Festival couplets . People believe that Spring Festival couplets must be posted wherever there are gods, on every door, and on every object, so there are the most of them and they have the most comprehensive content.

In my country, the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is generally the beginning of the Little New Year, which is the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month in the north and the 24th day of the 12th lunar month in the south. Some residents along the lake, such as those in Poyang Lake, still retain the boatman tradition and the Little New Year's Eve falls on the 25th day of the 12th lunar month. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Northeast Jiangxi and Taiwan, the day of worshiping the Kitchen God on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is called "Ji Zao Ye", and the day before New Year's Eve is called "Xiao New Year's Eve", as opposed to "Da New Year's Eve" on New Year's Eve. The "Da New Year's Eve" and "Xiao New Year's Eve" here both refer to the whole day, not necessarily at night, and there is no such term as "Xiao New Year's Eve". In the southwest and some ethnic minority areas in the north, it is New Year's Eve, in Nanjing it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and in some areas of Yunnan it is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
