The twelfth lunar month is the period between the old and the new year, and is the month with more sacrifices. Regarding "La", there were records of "Rou Fu" and "La Wei" as early as in works such as "The Book of Changes" and "The Book of Rites". The original meaning of "La" is "dried meat". Because the weather in December is most suitable for air-drying and making cured meat, it is called "La Yue". Is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month the Little New Year?The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year, but while in the southern regions the Little New Year is celebrated on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month in the north.Before the mid-Qing Dynasty, the northern region also celebrated the Little New Year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. From the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty, the imperial family held a ceremony to worship the sky on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In order to "save money", they also worshipped the Kitchen God. Therefore, people in the northern region also celebrated the Little New Year one day in advance on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. The Little New Year is regarded as the beginning of the busy year, which means that people begin to prepare New Year's goods, sweep the house, worship the kitchen god, etc., preparing to have a good new year in a clean manner. It expresses people's good wishes to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and welcome good luck and fortune. The Kitchen God worship on the Little New Year originated from the ancient custom of worshiping fire. As stated in "Shi Ming": "Stove. Creation, and the creation of food." The duties of the Kitchen God are to control the stove fire and manage food. Later, this duty was expanded to examine the good and evil in the world and to determine whether blessings or disasters will be bestowed. The belief in the Kitchen God reflects the common people's pursuit of the dream of "enough food and clothing". According to the local customs and records written by Zhou Chu, a famous person in the Jin Dynasty, "On the night of the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, people worship the Kitchen God. It is said that the Kitchen God will go to heaven the next day to report the affairs of the year, so they worship him the day before." Fan Chengda of the Song Dynasty wrote "Poems for Offering to the Kitchen God": "According to ancient legend, on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God looks up to the sky to speak... I send you drunk and full to the gate of heaven. Don't say anything about whether the ladle is long or short. I beg you to share the profits when you return." Do you want to know your own Bazi?
