Kitchen God, together with Door God, Well God, Ce Shen and Liu Zhong, is in charge of the family's peace and is respected by people. Besides being in charge of people's diet and bringing convenience to people's lives, Kitchen God's duty is to be an official sent by the Jade Emperor to check the good and evil of a family.

Kitchen God accompanied the two gods, holding a "good jar" and a "bad jar", recording the family's behavior in the jar at any time, and then reporting it to the Jade Emperor God after the end of the year.

The period of thanking the stove is also divided into classes. Most people will choose Xie Zao at the age of 23, hoping that it will be more expensive and take its meaning. Generally, it is something sweet and greasy, such as honeydew melon, glutinous rice balls, maltose, pig blood cake and so on. It is dedicated to the kitchen god. In short, the purpose of using these sticky and sweet things is to shut the kitchen god up, so that when he returns to heaven, he can say more good things, and God will say good things, and the lower world will be auspicious. Heaven is so kind, so you can return to the palace to seek happiness.

After seeing off the gods, don't forget to bring them back on the fourth day of the first month (New Year's Eve). This is called "taking care of the kitchen" or "taking care of the gods". The ceremony of picking up the kitchen god is very simple. Just stick a new god on the kitchen stove.

Kitchen God occupies the highest position among the people. He is the supervisor sent by the Emperor of Heaven to various families and the head of the family.

Because people can't communicate with the gods, the gods can only let the kitchen gods talk nonsense, and mortals "have nothing to pray for." God will punish you for what the Kitchen God tells you.

If people want to pray for disaster, they should respect the kitchen god. For example, they should not burn incense in the kitchen, hit the kitchen, put their knives and axes in the kitchen, say strange things, complain in front of the kitchen, cry, shout, sing, send dirty things into the kitchen to burn, and so on. Every year on the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month, when the Kitchen God wants to ascend to heaven to report the situation for one year, people will offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God, which is called offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God. Maltose and wine are essential when offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove. Wine makes the kitchen god get carried away and dizzy. Maltose is sweet and sticky. Stick it on the mouth of the kitchen god. Once the kitchen god has a sweet mouth, it is not good to speak ill, but only good words. Secondly, maltose sticks to your mouth, and you can't open your mouth if you want to speak ill. You can only say it vaguely.
