The origin of Chaoshan brothers incense burner

It evolved from "dividing the stove". After the Chaoshan brothers divide the property, they should choose auspicious day to "divide the stove". Parents should take out the charcoal or firewood burned in the original partnership kitchen as kindling for their brothers and light their new kitchen for their first meal, which symbolizes that although the kindling of the big family will not go out, but now people's living conditions are constantly improving, many families no longer use the kitchen stove, but use incense burners, which means "dividing the kitchen". Chaoshan area is located in the southeast coast of Guangdong Province, belonging to Chaoshan cultural area and Chaozhou dialect area, and is the ancestral home and concentrated place of Chaoshan people.
