How to send the chef next year?

The way to send Kitchen God in off-year is as follows:

Clean the site, take a personal bath, get dressed, find a tribute table or altar, and spread yellow cloth (you can also put a cardboard or partition on the cupboard). Put up a picture of Kitchen God (you can buy it or draw it yourself) or simply put up a memorial tablet couplet, offering incense burners, candles (butter lamps) and essays equal to the front of Kitchen God. The godless position can be arranged beside the kitchen stove or sink or in the west of the room, or directly in front of the stove.

The total number of sweets, vegetarian snacks and local specialty snacks can be 3, 5 and 7, and a pair of candles (butter lamps) can be lit in front of the kitchen god. Burn three sticks of incense, twice. For the first time, I prayed for a long life for my family, and for the second time, I prayed for abstinence from evil and cultivation of goodness, complete diligence. Bow bow, offer tea or water, bow bow, offer debt or paper money.

Read the passage, thank you for your kindness in the past year, ask for forgiveness for crimes you didn't intend to commit, and pray for the coming year. To melt paper, send it to the brazier with paper money. Pay attention to burn paper first, then burn the kitchen god tablet or painting, and finally melt the debt or paper money as a reward. After burning incense, after three bows, the ceremony was completed and the case was dismissed.

Brief introduction of off-year

Off-year, a traditional festival in China, is also called Lunar New Year Festival, Kitchen God Festival and Kitchen God Festival. Off-year folk activities mainly include sweeping dust and offering sacrifices to stoves. China has a vast territory, and customs vary greatly from place to place. Due to different customs, the days called off-year are also different. The 24th of the twelfth lunar month is in most parts of the south, and the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is in the north.

Off-year is usually considered as the beginning of a busy year, which means that people begin to prepare new year's goods, sweep dust and offer sacrifices to stoves. And prepare for a clean and beautiful year to express people's good wishes to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Sacrificial stoves have a history of several thousand years in China, which reflects the dream of China people to have enough food and clothing.
