The custom of New Year in China
The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, also called off-year, is the day when people offer sacrifices to stoves. It is said that every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Kitchen God will report the good and evil of his family to the Jade Emperor, so that the Jade Emperor can reward and punish him. People put candy, water, beans and grass on the console table in front of the kitchen god statue, and the latter three are for the kitchen god's mount to ascend to heaven. When you worship the kitchen stove, the kwantung sugar will melt with fire.
In the folk, people also like to stick various paper-cuts on the windows. Paper-cutting not only sets off the festive atmosphere, but also integrates decoration, appreciation and practicality. Paper-cutting is a very popular folk art in China, which has been loved by people for thousands of years. Because most of them are stuck on the windows, they are also called window grilles. With its unique generalization and exaggeration, window grilles show auspicious things and good wishes incisively and vividly, and decorate festivals with colorful colors.
