When will Kitchen God go to heaven?

1, Kitchen King niches are mostly located in the north or east of the kitchen, and the idol of Kitchen King is in the middle.

2. After worshipping idols, people will worship brown sugar dumplings in front of the kitchen king's throne, and people with good conditions will also worship them with big fish, big meat and good wine. Before the Kitchen God went to heaven, people used to treat him to a meal.

3. After offering incense, please take the portrait of Kitchen God off the wall, take it outside the courtyard, burn it with the paper money prepared in advance, and set off firecrackers. It means to let his old man put in a good word in heaven and leave quickly until he returns to the palace for good luck.

4. Send the Kitchen God on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month every year. In order to please the kitchen god, people put candy, water, beans and grass on the console table in front of the statue of the kitchen king. Among them, the last three samples are the mounts of the kitchen king ascending to heaven. When offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove, the northeast will melt the Kwantung sugar with fire and spread it on the mouth of the kitchen god, which means sticking the mouth of the kitchen god so as not to speak ill of this family in front of the Jade Emperor.

On new year's eve, when the new year is about to begin, we should also welcome the kitchen god from the sky. Legend has it that on New Year's Eve, the Kitchen God will lead the gods to the earth for the New Year, so there will be ceremonies of "receiving the kitchen" and "receiving the gods" on this day. After receiving the kitchen god, it was only the turn to worship the ancestors, and then began to eat New Year's Eve, and the family was reunited for the New Year.

1. Candy, clear water, beans and couplets for offering sacrifices to the stove are on the console table in front of the statue of the kitchen king. Before the statue of Kitchen God is placed, prepare brown sugar and glutinous rice balls and light incense. Then, please take the portrait of the kitchen god down from the wall, bring it to the yard and burn it with the prepared tributes, and set off firecrackers at the same time, thus completing the ceremony of sending the kitchen god.

2. As for the time to send the Kitchen God, different regions and nationalities have different sacrificial customs. The time to send the kitchen god in the north is mostly on December 24th of the lunar calendar, and in the south it is mostly on December 23rd of the lunar calendar, also known as the Kitchen Festival. People pay attention to eating sticky cakes, jiaozi, sesame sugar, Nianzhu, Nianzong, fire, Cantonese sugar and so on.

After the kitchen king was sent to heaven, every household began to clean, clean the kitchen and inside and outside the room, and prepare all kinds of rich food for the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve afternoon, amid firecrackers and children's laughter, people restored the position of the kitchen king and welcomed him back.
