When is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month?

On the 24th (or 23rd) day of the twelfth lunar month, the Han people call it "off-year", which is a festival to worship the Kitchen God. According to the folklore of the Han nationality, on this day, the Kitchen God will ascend to heaven to report the merits and demerits of his family to the Jade Emperor, and his death is to see the Kitchen God off.

Therefore, people are very pious and respectful to this god who lives at home. Sending a stove is to entrust the working people of the Han nationality with their yearning for a happy life and pray for the gods to bless the family peace, good luck and peace in the new year. ?
