Legend has it that from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to New Year's Eve, these days are the days when Kitchen God returns to the palace. On New Year's Eve, the Kitchen God will be invited to descend to earth again, and the people will hang up the idol of the Kitchen God before preparing for the New Year's Eve.
