Offering sacrifices to the Kitchen GodOffering 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. 2. The day of house sweeping starts from the 24th day of the twentieth month and lasts until New Year's Eve. In China, people call this period of time "the day to welcome the spring" or "the day to sweep the house". "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. 3. Eat stove candy As the saying goes, "On the 23rd, sugar melons are sticky." During the Little New Year, people will buy sugar melons, Guandong sugar, sesame candy and other offerings, praying to the Kitchen God to have a sweeter mouth and to say good things to the gods.
