Time flies to the end of the year and will usher in a new year. China New Year is a happy time for children and for adults to relax and rest.

However, with the improvement of people's living standards, the flavor of the year is no longer as strong as before. Think about the past, you can only eat a big meal all the year round, but now people can order a takeaway at any time and enjoy the food without leaving home. In the past, there was not enough food; I can't finish eating at present. But at the moment of ample food and clothing, the traditional virtue of thrift must not be lost!

Traditional customs of the Spring Festival:

Sacrificing a stove is actually a preparation for the Spring Festival. To prepare for the Spring Festival dinner, kitchen hygiene should not be sloppy. Slowly, people formed the tradition of offering sacrifices to the kitchen god on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. According to legend, on this day, Kitchen God wants to report the work of the Jade Emperor to heaven. In order to make Kitchen God speak well of the world, people "bribe" Kitchen God, buy a portrait of Kitchen God to hang in the kitchen, and offer dried fruits and kitchen candy, hoping that he can put in a good word for people when reporting his work to heaven.
