Which day of the lunar calendar is Xiaonian?

The date of the Little New Year in the lunar calendar actually depends on the region you are in. The date of the Little New Year is different in different regions.
Most of the northern regions: The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month - "Little New Year in the North"
In ancient times, the northern region also celebrated the Little New Year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. From the middle and 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, the people in the northern region followed suit and celebrated the Little New Year one day in advance on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

When will the Kitchen God image be posted during the Little New Year in 2022?

There is also a custom of pasting images of the Kitchen God during the Little New Year. According to traditional customs, the image of the Kitchen God is usually posted on the night of the Little New Year. The image of the Kitchen God can be posted as long as it gets dark.
Most people put up a picture of the Kitchen God near the stove, and sometimes there is also a picture of the Kitchen God's wife. After a year of smoke and fire, the pictures have become old. The old image would be taken down and a straw horse would be made for the Kitchen God using straw. In order to make him "speak good things to the gods in heaven and bring good luck when he returns to the palace", a sticky piece of sugar melon would be glued to his mouth and then burned together with the straw horse. This process is called quitting the stove.
After the New Year, buy a new portrait and invite the Kitchen God back to be pasted up. During these few days, due to the lack of supervision by the Kitchen God, most people tend to overeat, gamble, and indulge themselves in minor mistakes that they normally think they should not make.
