Introduction: In two days it will be the 2017 Little New Year, which is also the Kitchen God Festival. The saying "Speak good things to God in heaven and keep the world safe" describes the deeds of the Kitchen God. So, do you know which direction is more suitable for the Kitchen God to face? Let’s follow the editor to take a look. There are not only many national customs and activities on New Year’s Eve, but also many New Year’s etiquette and taboos. Want to know more? Welcome to the New Year’s special topic carefully prepared for you by Mr. Shui Mo to learn more!Which direction is most appropriate for the Kitchen God to face?It is usually pasted next to the stove. If your stove is facing west and there is a wall behind it, then paste it on the north side, and so on. However, the biggest taboo with pasting the Kitchen God statue is that it cannot be pasted too high. Generally, it should not be placed higher than 1 meter. Many people nowadays don’t understand this. In order to make it look good, they stick the elephant very high. This is wrong.The statue of the Kitchen God is pasted on the wall next to the stove, facing the wind box. The couplets on both sides are mostly "May God speak good things and keep the world safe", and the lower couplet can also be written as "Return to the palace and bring good luck". In the middle is the statue of the Kitchen God and his wife, and next to the statue are often two horses painted as their mounts. When offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, offerings must be displayed, and the most prominent one is the sugar melon. The northern part of Shanxi Province is accustomed to using sugar, which is a primary product of sesame candy and is very sticky. It is now collectively called sesame candy. There is a folk saying that goes "On the 23rd, eat candy bars." Foods like sugar and candy are sweet and sticky. It means that the Kitchen God is so busy eating that he has no time to talk. After he goes to heaven, his mouth is glued shut with sugar to prevent him from getting into trouble. A few eggs are also included in the offerings as snacks for foxes, weasels and the like. It is said that they are all subordinates of the Kitchen God and must be taken care of. When offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, in addition to burning incense and offering wine, it is special to scatter horse feed for the Kitchen God's mount, from in front of the stove all the way to outside the kitchen door. After these rituals are completed, the statue of the Kitchen God must be taken down and burned. Wait until New Year's Eve to set up a new statue. The Kitchen God sitting east and facing west is called "East Kitchen Siming Jiuling Yuanwang Dingfu Shenjun", commonly known as "Kitchen God", or "Kitchen God", "Si Ming Zhenjun", "Nine Heavenly East Kitchen Smoke Lord", "House Protector" or "Kitchen King". In the north, he is called "Kitchen King" and is revered as one of the three benefactors, that is, the god of the kitchen. The origin of the Kitchen God is very early. People began to worship him in the Shang Dynasty, and in the Zhou Dynasty, Li, the son of Xusuo, was regarded as the Kitchen God. Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was listed as one of the five major sacrifices. The Kitchen God is responsible for the safety of the family together with the Door God, Well God, Toilet God and Center God. The reason why the Kitchen God is respected is that, in addition to being in charge of people's food and drink and granting convenience in life, the Kitchen God's duty is to be an official sent by the Jade Emperor to the human world to inspect the good and evil of a family. The Kitchen God is attended by two gods on his left and right, one holding a "good jar" and the other holding a "bad jar". They record the behavior of each family member at any time and keep it in the jars. At the end of the year, they report the total to the Jade Emperor. Summary: Through the above article, we know the most suitable direction for the Kitchen God to face. I hope the above content can provide some reference opinions for everyone. I wish everyone can be favored by the Kitchen God, receive more good words in return, and have good overall fortune at home in the coming year!
