February 24, 65438 is the day when "immortals from all walks of life" go to heaven to pay New Year's greetings. Therefore, on 23rd or 24th, in Chaoshan countryside, it is a custom to offer sacrifices, steam sacrifices and bid farewell to gods. The custom of "sending God" began with sending "Kitchen God". Who is the kitchen god? Xu Shen's "Five Classics and Different Meanings" in the Eastern Han Dynasty said, "Zhuan Xu has a son named Li, who is Zhu Rong. The temperature is just right and he is worshipped as the kitchen god." It can be seen that the Kitchen God is the familiar Vulcan Zhu Rong. It is one of the five great sacrifices in ancient times. "Book of Rites Moon Order" Xia Meng's moon cloud: "Its emperor Yan Di, its god Zhu Rong ... its sacrificial stove." The purpose of the kitchen god is to "blame those who are white, and those who are big will seize the discipline for 300 days; Small is a hundred days. " (Tang Duanshicheng's Biography of Xiyang Zanuo) So, there are hundreds of people in the world. In order to let Kitchen God put in a good word for himself, and let God bless him to make a fortune, live a long life and be safe, it is convenient to "sacrifice dolphin wine to Kitchen God one day." It can be seen that the custom of "sending gods" originated from the above-mentioned "sending kitchen gods". Ancestors brought this custom from the Central Plains to Chaoshan and made it "worse". On this day, it was sent to heaven with other immortals.
