Talking about the kitchen god

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the kitchen god went to heaven.

Heaven speaks well, and you will be blessed when you return to the palace.

The tight and slow time is New Year's Day.

Chef, I believe everyone is familiar with him. His disciples were Dong Yu's Nine Spirits, Wang Dingfu and so on. People simply call it the kitchen god.

As can be seen from the name, Kitchen God is a Taoist god, not a Taoist god, nor a Buddhist bodhisattva or arhat. Most Taoist gods worship gods after death (called gods after death), whether they are gods from heaven or emperors (emperors), they can all be gods. When God was a man, there was no question of whether he had faith, let alone whether he had read the Bible. However, he must have extraordinary achievements or special talents to become a god.

God has a position and belongs to the management system of heaven. Everyone can understand that civil servants in heaven work on earth and perform certain duties, such as God of Wealth, Mountain God, Land and City Glory. Their authority is given by heaven and they are responsible to the Jade Emperor in heaven. Part of their salary comes from the finance of heaven and part from the incense offerings of ordinary people. Therefore, the system of god in heaven is similar to the civil service system in society, and to a certain extent, it is also a unity of heaven and man. Except the immortal system of Taoism, all other religions do not involve the management function on the earth. Now some Buddhists call the Kitchen God a Bodhisattva, which is really confusing and all wet. This must be known, so as not to make people laugh.

The kitchen god is the god of the family, that is, the god worshipped at home. In a family, whether you serve the chef or not, he will exist, regardless of whether you believe it or not. Kitchen God mainly records the gains and losses in a family's daily life. Ancient medical technology was relatively low and not very popular. Many people get sick because of unclean diet, so the kitchen god also plays a certain role in treating diseases. When a family member is sick, he goes to the kitchen god with incense sticks to pray.

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month (some areas in the south are also customarily scheduled for the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month) is the day when the kitchen god reports his work to heaven. Starting from this day, the Spring Festival will be celebrated in 7 days faster than 8 days (whether it is 7 days or 8 days depends on whether the twelfth lunar month is a big moon or a small moon), so the Spring Festival will be celebrated in 7 days slower than 8 days.

People hope that the kitchen god will tell good things in the family in the sky, not bad things for the family. They all hope that they will be lucky and will not be punished by God. Therefore, everyone hopes that Kitchen God "speaks well in the sky and goes back to the palace for good luck."

If you want to say a good word and do a good deed, your mouth will be sweet. Therefore, on the day when the kitchen god goes to heaven, every household will prepare sweets and other sweets to worship the kitchen god, and the children will also be sweet with their mouths. Let's work hard together, make good luck and welcome the new year with a happy mood. Therefore, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is also called off-year.
