Offerings to the God of the Kitchen
Before assuming the Kitchen God, it is a sunset ceremony. The family enters the kitchen, set up a table, puts on incense sticks to the niche of the paper image of God and offers sweet cakes. In some places, the Chinese smear or cover the mouth of the deity with sugar so you do not speak ill of them, and then burn the image. Elsewhere, dry twigs burning in the courtyard next to the image of God. Clean
After the ceremony in honor of the God of the Kitchen, formally begin preparations for the Lunar New Year. The moon is December 23 New Year's Eve. From this date after the "days of cleaning powder" or "days of welcoming spring," that is, a very clean at the end of the year. On the eve of Spring Festival, every family washes the utensils, washing blankets, curtains, and clean the yard, so we welcome the new spring.
spring couplets
Three auspicious phrases, written on paper and glued to each side of the door and the lintel. It is an original literary genre in China. Commonly used words of good fortune to avert the evil and wish prosperity and happiness in the new year. While the party looming, all families will buy couplets on the street or written, to renew the doors of their houses.
