The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the day of offering sacrifices to stoves, commonly known as "off-year", also known as off-year, off-year and off-year festival. On this day, the kitchen god was sent to heaven to say things, called sending the kitchen stove, retiring the kitchen stove and getting drunk.

The sacrifice of the stove was held on the evening of the 23rd. The portrait of the kitchen god in Jiaodong area is posted on the kitchen fire wall in the east of the main room. On both sides, there is a pair of couplets "Heaven speaks well and goes back to the palace for good luck", which is the "head of the family". When offering sacrifices, put candied fruits and a bowl of noodle soup, then burn incense and kowtow, and put the ants of the old kitchen god on the lamp, which is to send the kitchen god to heaven.

When cooking, add some cereal and miscellaneous grains to feed the horse of Kitchen God. There used to be a saying that "men don't Yue Bai, women don't offer sacrifices to stoves". In Shandong, men usually offer sacrifices, but in Enxian, Boxun and other places, women lead their children to burn incense and worship the stove. Some old stoves eat old ones, some put new ones on the wall, and some put them on New Year's Eve, so the couplets also have the words "Go to heaven on the 23rd and come down on the first day of the first month".

Sweet and sticky food is often used in sacrificial stoves. Melons and dates are commonly used, sheep dates and dried persimmons are also used in Linqu, glutinous rice cakes and small honeydew melons are used in Weihai, and millet cakes or jujube cakes are added in Wudi, Enxian, Bo *, Zhaoyuan and Rizhao, which means sticking the mouth of the Kitchen God to prevent him from speaking ill of God or making the Kitchen God's mouth sweet, so it is called this in Chengwu and other places. Some people put some distiller's grains or wine at the door of the stove, which is called "drunken living and dreaming of death".

In addition to candied melons, some offerings are jiaozi, which means "ups and downs in jiaozi", some noodles, some boiled horses, and chickens made of straw, so that the kitchen god can ride to heaven and have a good trip.

After the sacrifice, a farewell ceremony will be held. The family knelt in front of the statue of Kitchen God, kowtowing and burning the old statue of Kitchen God and a paper horse. At the same time, the old man murmured: "Kitchen God, please go to heaven, say more good things, say less bad things, and bring all the grains."

People who are in urgent need of having children read: "On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God went to the Western Heaven. Say nothing nice and bring a fat boy on his ponytail." This will even send the kitchen god away. Zichuan, Zhaoyuan and other places have the custom of divination after quitting the kitchen, that is, quietly going out to hear people predict good or bad luck.

After quitting the kitchen, it is said that the immortal went to heaven and died. A poor folk got married at this time, which is called "chaotic year". In ancient times, it was called 10 days after the great cold, and marriage was not prohibited. Now most rural people get married at the end of the year.

On this day of firecrackers, we ushered in the New Year's Eve. I am very happy! Because I can see beautiful fireworks again!

In the morning, I get up early. I know I will have a sacred activity today-offering sacrifices to the stove! But this activity of offering sacrifices to stoves is different from previous years, because this year's stove candy must be made by ourselves! It is said that this is a custom in xx area.

Because according to legend, every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Kitchen God will report the good and evil of every household to the Jade Emperor. On the night of the twelfth lunar month, he returned to earth to punish evil and promote good according to the jade emperor's will. Therefore, before making kitchen candy, everyone must wash their hands and soak them in a special kind of water-this is a symbol of our respect for the kitchen god and our serious respect attitude.

Soon, with everyone's cooperation, the sweet furnace sugar full of everyone's hard work was completed. ...

As night falls, the moon Ran Ran rises. The earth was shrouded in darkness, and a few little stars jumped out of the dark sky. They blinked like naughty children and greedily watched the lively scene of family reunion.

After dinner, we began to quit. Mother brought two clean plates filled with offerings from the stove. There are almonds, candy skins, fruits and so on. Everything is exquisite. Dad brought a bowl of rice and a bowl of water, brought incense and put incense in the rice. Dad said the sugar was for the kitchen god. After eating it, my mouth will be sweet, and I will talk more about the good things in our family at the Jade Emperor's. Rice and water are for the kitchen god's horse to eat, so that the horse has the strength to take the kitchen god to heaven. I just know that there is a saying to prepare these things. Then, dad brought paper money. After burning it, mom and dad kowtowed in turn, while mom said, "As God said, going home is good luck." I also kowtow as devoutly as my mother, thinking that I hope our wishes can come true.

In the evening, we also held a fireworks feast. The sound of firecrackers was deafening, and we all ran to the balcony covering our ears. I vaguely saw a small fire. Just then, the firecrackers stopped abruptly. Instead, a "rocket launcher" was launched, which drew flames in the sky and then suddenly dispersed. Suddenly, a string of fire pillars more than 2 meters high appeared on the ground, surrounded by light. In a short time, firecrackers, fireworks and sand guns merged into an ocean. Fire and light merge into a bright light. Just then, we smelled fire and medicine. Our highlight is that the "rocket launcher" forms gold, green, red and pink in the sky. Qian Qian's fireworks on the ground are all red. The sky is beautiful at this time.

"Fireworks, I hope that in the new year, I will rush to study like you; At the same time, I hope you can take my troubles to heaven and make me a brand-new me again! "

This is really an unforgettable little year!

Amid firecrackers, we ushered in the biggest festival-Spring Festival. Everyone was beaming, hanging red lanterns and pasting red Spring Festival couplets, and they were busy. ...

The first day of the first month is another happy day.

I always get up the latest, but today I won the first prize, because I really want to smell the fragrant firecrackers. Strings of firecrackers are lit in people's hands, and the sound is really loud, splashing everywhere, as if to send every blessing to thousands of households. Firecrackers continued, crackled and were very lively.

Sending the Kitchen God is a great event before the Spring Festival. Grandma said that Kitchen God sent it on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, the kitchen god returned to heaven to report to the jade emperor about human events. People want the kitchen god to speak well, so on this day, people will specially prepare rich offerings to worship the kitchen god.

My sister and I came to the street and saw that everyone was all smiles and full of energy. Some are buying New Year pictures, some are buying new year's goods, some are buying sweets, and some are buying couplets for ................................................................................................................................................ After a while, my sister shouted, "Sister, sister! The lantern is coming again! Look at those lanterns! Let's go there and have a look! " "Lantern? Lantern! I finally met you. " I thought there were fewer and fewer lights now, and I might not see lanterns this year. This makes me overjoyed! I responded happily: "Let's go!" My sister heard me say something in a foreign language, or, really a monk, I couldn't figure it out. I pulled it and went to see the lantern.

It was late at night, and there were fewer people in the street. Even so, I still can't bear to leave, and my sister took me, so I reluctantly left. My parents have already gone to sleep, and they have been brought into a sweet dream by the joy of the Spring Festival. ...

Although this is only a small year, every household is filled with a strong New Year atmosphere, which makes people feel extremely happy!

Off-year is a festival to worship the kitchen god. On the festival of offering sacrifices to stoves, people pay attention to eating jiaozi, which means "look down on the windward side of jiaozi". Eat more cakes and buckwheat noodles in mountainous areas. In the southeast of Shanxi, there is a custom of eating fried corn. There is a saying in the folk proverb that "23. If you don't eat fried food, pour a pot for the New Year". People like to bond fried corn with maltose and freeze it into pieces, which tastes crisp and sweet.

In the twelfth lunar month, every household is ready for the New Year. Sweep the dust is to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and remove the ominous. Every household should be carefully and thoroughly cleaned to make the windows bright and clean. In Beijing, December 24th of the lunar calendar is usually designated as House Sweeping Day.

Dust removal is mainly to clean the house thoroughly. Housewives usually cover the bed furniture in the room first, wrap their heads with headscarves, and then sweep the walls up and down with a broom. Clean the house, scrub the tables and chairs, and clean the floor. After cleaning the house, the shops and residents' homes are completely new.

Every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Kitchen God reports the good and evil of this family to the Jade Emperor, so that the Jade Emperor can reward and punish them. Therefore, when sending stoves, people will put candy, water, beans and grass on the console table in front of the statue of the kitchen god, and the last three are for the kitchen god's mount to ascend to heaven. When offering sacrifices to the stove, you should melt the Guandong sugar with fire and put it on the mouth of the kitchen god. In this way, he can't speak ill of the jade emperor There is a folk custom that "men don't Yue Bai, women don't offer sacrifices to stoves", so the owner of offering sacrifices to stoves is limited to men.

Candied melons, caramel, sesame candy and other foods, originally for the mouth of the kitchen god, gradually evolved into snacks that children must eat in their early years. There is a saying in the northwest of Shanxi that "you can't chew your fingers with sesame candy."

During the Chinese New Year, fireworks are set off everywhere, but to ask where the fireworks are the most beautiful, of course, it depends on the fireworks set off by the municipal government.

So my sister, my cousin, my father, my mother, my sister and my uncle went to the East District to watch the fireworks. On the East Side, the fireworks haven't started yet. However, the streets and upstairs are already crowded with people, crowded with people, and crowded with people. People are waiting for the fireworks to start, but they can only see rows of Kongming lanterns rising into the sky like red stars. Suddenly, a beautiful fireworks "bang" awakened the dark night sky. Then, a dozen "Qinglong" appeared from the ground, twisting their white and green bodies in the air and gradually disappearing into the night sky. "Qinglong" has just disappeared, smiling faces, copper coins and circles have risen to the sky, making the dark night sky shine with the light of "fire trees and silver flowers never sleep". These beautiful fireworks are like colorful flowers in the sky, with different colors, including yellow, red, purple, green and white; Different colors, some like chrysanthemums, a little like lilies, some like five stars, some like lightning, some like aquatic plants, and some like flower snakes; Some are round, some are oval, some are four-pointed stars, and some are five-pointed stars; Some are big, some are small, some are wide, some are flat, some are high, some are low, some are long, some are short, some ... Beautiful fireworks attract people's amazement-"Wow", "Really beautiful", "Really beautiful" ... Cheers and exclamations rush into the sky with the sound of fireworks, and then gradually disperse with the smoke, drifting into the distant night sky.

My favorite is the caterpillar-like fireworks. At first it was no different from ordinary fireworks. It is also bright green like a big chrysanthemum. When its light fades away, there will be a group of yellow and white stars like bees. The stars are getting darker and darker, but the red dots are getting brighter and brighter, like a gray tree.
