Why do we put up the Kitchen God sticker on the wall during the Little New Year?

The main reason why we need to stick the Kitchen God on the Little New Year is because in our country there is a custom of worshiping the Kitchen God on the Little New Year.
Xiaonian falls on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month (the 24th day in the south) every year. There is a custom of offering sacrifices to the kitchen god during the Little New Year. The Kitchen God is also called "Kitchen Lord" and is commonly known as Kitchen King.
The Kitchen God is the "Lord of the Kitchen in the East Kitchen of the Nine Heavens" appointed by the Jade Emperor himself. He is responsible for managing the kitchen fires in each household, understanding the sufferings of the people, and bringing blessings and solving problems. On this day, the Kitchen God will go to heaven to report the good and evil deeds of the family to the Jade Emperor, who will decide on rewards and punishments.
Therefore, it is necessary to put up an image of the Kitchen God to offer sacrifices to him during the Little New Year.

Where should the Kitchen God be placed in the kitchen?

1. Stick it next to the stove
Under normal circumstances, the Kitchen God should be placed next to the stove. If the stove faces west and there is a wall behind it, then it should be placed on the north side, and so on. But the biggest taboo with pasting the Kitchen God image is that it cannot be pasted too high. Generally, it should not be placed higher than 1 meter.
2. The Kitchen God pasted above the stove is what the elders often call the Kitchen God, and he is regarded as the head of the family. It is usually pasted above the kitchen stove, and it can bless the whole family with peace and good fortune.
3. Stick it on the right side of the stove
When worshiping the Kitchen God, you must remember to stick his portrait on the right side of the stove to make him happy. When he reports to the God of Heaven, he can say good things about the family, which will greatly enhance the overall family fortune, increase wealth, and make life rich.

What should we prepare for the Kitchen God Festival?

Prepare sacrificial fruits, wine and dishes, and light incense and candles when offering them.
1. New Year's candy and New Year's cookies: symbolize a sweet life;
