Do I have to go home on New Year’s Eve?You don’t have to go home on the eve of the Chinese New Year, as long as there is someone at home to sweep the house and worship the Kitchen God.Besides, the Little New Year is not a legal holiday in our country, so people who work away from home may not be able to go back even if they want to. It is better to wait until the holiday is approaching. If you can't go back, you can also do a thorough cleaning where you live now and greet the upcoming Spring Festival in a tidy and energetic state. This way you will be more motivated to return to work after the New Year. What preparations should be made for the New Year’s Eve?The Little New Year's Eve is the beginning of the busy year, which is the first day of the twelfth lunar month for preparations for the Spring Festival. The main activities are house sweeping and worshiping the kitchen god.1. Sweeping the dust The period from the 24th to New Year's Eve is called "Welcoming Spring Day" or "Dust Sweeping Day" by the Chinese people. "Sweeping the dust" means the year-end cleaning. Every household has to clean the environment, clear various utensils, take apart and wash bedding and curtains, sweep the courtyard, dust off dust and cobwebs, and dredge open and underground ditches on this day. Everywhere is filled with the atmosphere of happily cleaning up and welcoming the New Year in a clean manner. The purpose of sweeping the house is to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and to remove bad luck. 2. Offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God Offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God is an important activity on the day of the Little New Year. In addition to offering sugar melons and cakes, people also have to replace the portrait of the Kitchen God. While taking down the old image of the Kitchen God, every household also has to "invite" back a new one. 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. In addition, it is said that on the night of New Year’s Eve, the Kitchen God will come to the human world with other gods to celebrate the New Year, and there will be ceremonies of "welcoming the Kitchen God" and "welcoming the gods" on that day. After every household burns sedan chairs and horses, pours three cups of wine and sends off the Kitchen God, it is then their turn to worship their ancestors. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
