Extended data:

In Taiwan Province Province, just like in Chinese mainland, the Spring Festival, also known as the China New Year, is the most lively festival for people. The longest festival. Generally speaking, it lasts 1 month, starting from the "tail tooth" on the 6th day of the lunar calendar/kloc-0.

The first and fifteenth days of each month, or the second and sixteenth days of each month, are the days when Taiwanese businessmen worship the land god, which is called "tooth-making". February 2 is the first time to make teeth, called "head teeth"; 1February 16 The dentist was the last dentist, so it was called "tail tooth".

Tail tooth is the "end" of the business's one-year activities and the "first sound" of the people's Spring Festival activities.

On this day, people in Taiwan Province Province will burn land money to worship the upright god of Ford (that is, land money), and set up a bench in front of the door to offer a five-flavored bowl, burn prayer flags and silver paper to worship the owners (to worship the foundation of the house).

All business lines should also entertain employees today in return for their hard work in the past year. In the past, if the boss didn't plan to renew his employees in the coming year, he pointed his head at him at the banquet, implying dismissal. However, this custom has disappeared.

In addition to the increasingly popular tail tooth banquet in recent years, according to the traditional custom, the whole family get together to "eat tail teeth". The main food is moist cakes and steamed bread.

Wet cake is made of bean sprouts, shredded bamboo shoots, beans, garlic, dried eggs, tiger moss, peanut powder, tomato sauce and other ingredients wrapped in wet cake. The food in the bag is three layers of meat, pickles, dried bamboo shoots, coriander and peanut powder, all of which are local delicacies.

Send it to god. The 24th of the twelfth lunar month is the day of offering sacrifices to the gods, and every household will hold activities of offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove to bid farewell to the kitchen god and other gods.

Kitchen God is commonly called "Kitchen God", and some are called "Siming Zhenjun", "Kitchen God" and "Hospital Protection". "Chef King" and so on. Its full name is "East Chef Points Nine Spirits, and Wang Yuan will be the God King", so some people call it "the smoker of Nine Days East Chef".

In early Taiwan Province Province, every kitchen had a fairly large "stove". Legend has it that there is a kitchen god in the kitchen. Every year 1 4, he is sent by the jade emperor to monitor the words and deeds of various families. Until1February 24th, he returned to heaven to report his work to the Jade Emperor and the merits and demerits of each family.

There is no god in the kitchen god. On weekdays, he just sticks a supermom on the kitchen door.

When sending the stove, take off the mother of God and incinerate it. In addition, burn a paper horse tied with bamboo as the mount of Kitchen God, and prepare some soybeans and grass as dry food and forage for Kitchen God's long journey.

Then burn incense, kowtow, grab a few handfuls of straw ash on the stove kang, spread it on the ground in front of the stove, and feed: "Heaven speaks well, and the next world is safe." Then light firecrackers and bid farewell to the kitchen god. People went back to the kitchen to see if there was a parting message from Kitchen God on the ground.

Most of the offerings sent to the stove are sweet and sticky things such as glutinous rice balls, wheat candy and pig blood cakes, which are nothing more than sealing the mouth of the kitchen god and saying less bad things.

Clean up the village. After sending God away, every household began to hold a "clean-up".

People in Taiwan Province Province believe that the household utensils are in charge of the gods at ordinary times, and sacred cases, shrines and incense burners are not allowed to move without authorization. Only after the gods return to heaven can the house be thoroughly cleaned.

Of course, cleaning is to go to the old and welcome the new. In Taiwan Province Province, there is a proverb: "Only by cleaning the house can you get rich", that is, only by cleaning the house can you develop. If someone dies at home these days, it can't be cleaned. It is said that dust will enter the eyes of the dead.

After cleaning, you should prepare for the annual ceremony, which must be before the 28th. There are "sweet", "fat", "salty" and "vegetable bags" every year.

There is a rice cake in Taiwan Province Province-Guo Song, which vividly summarizes the meaning of rice cake: "Sweet rice cake, giving money, paying for vegetables, eating snacks with radishes." Sweet glutinous rice is the most important glutinous rice in Chinese New Year. You must do your hair well to become rich.

Vegetable bags can be covered with gold because there is stuffing inside. Radish fruit means "good color-good omen" and can be used as a snack. Bereavement cannot be a grand New Year, nor can it be sweet. From relatives, most recipients use oranges as gifts.
