2. Sacrifice the kitchen stove: The 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month is the day when people send the kitchen god back to heaven. Legend has it that from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to New Year's Eve, these days are the days when Kitchen God returns to the palace. On New Year's Eve, the Kitchen God will be invited to descend to earth again, and the people will hang up the idol of the Kitchen God before preparing for the New Year's Eve.
3. Sticking Year Red: Sticking Year Red is a general term for sticking Spring Festival couplets, door gods, New Year pictures and window grilles. Because these are all red festive elements posted in the New Year, they are collectively referred to as "Sticking Year Red".
