Extended data:

China ancient kitchen god belief;

China is a country with many gods. Among the many gods believed by people in ancient China, Kitchen God has the highest status among the people in China. There is a folk proverb "three sacrifices to the stove, four sweeps the house ...", which means offering sacrifices to the stove god on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. Kitchen God, commonly known as Kitchen God, Kitchen God and Kitchen God, is a kind of deity worship developed from primitive fire worship.

Primitive people learned to use fire in the long-term struggle with nature and became one of the natural worship of primitive people. In the life of primitive clans living in groups, the fire that never goes out is their stove, so in primitive people, Vulcan and Kitchen God are the same.

However, since the kitchen god came into being, his duty has nothing to do with fire or kitchen fire. He is the supervisor sent by the Emperor of Heaven to various families and the head of the family. He is responsible for supervising the merits and demerits of a family and reporting to the Heaven regularly, thus gaining the admiration of ordinary people.

In ancient times, regardless of status, the kitchen god was respectful from the palace, ministers and ordinary people. According to relevant data, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, as usual, the Qing emperor made a big sacrifice to the kitchen god in Kunning Palace, and at the same time installed the god of heaven and earth. The emperor made nine obeisances before the god to welcome the New Year and celebrate the New Year.

On the day of offering sacrifices to the furnace, Kunning Palace set up a confession case, placed a sacred card, placed incense in front of the sacred card, and set up a stove and a mattress in the hall. Like the folks in China, before Zhao Jun ascended to heaven to report on his work, he should seal his mouth with sticky sugar to prevent him from talking nonsense in front of the Jade Emperor. When offering sacrifices to the stove, the palace supervisor asked the emperor to burn incense and salute in front of the Buddha statues and kitchen gods in Kunning Palace. After the ceremony, the palace supervisor invited the queen to salute the kitchen god and other gods in turn.
