In the folk customs of Guangdong and Guangxi, it is necessary to make a sacrificial stove for the kitchen god, put the kitchen god's sacrifices, burn incense and worship, burn bamboo and horses, send the kitchen god to heaven, and finally put up a new statue of the kitchen god on the fifteenth day of the first month to welcome the kitchen god's return.

First of all, the statue of Kitchen God

The location of the kitchen shrine is very important, mostly located in the north or east of the kitchen, with the idol of the kitchen god in the middle.

Second, prepare to send the kitchen god to heaven

Twenty-three kinds of food for offering sacrifices to the stove include stove candy, lotus seed eight-treasure rice, "seeing off the windward side of jiaozi", sending the kitchen god to eat jiaozi, and preparing fragrant fried beans and clear water for the kitchen god's mount to avoid suffering from the kitchen god's mount.

Third, offer sacrifices to God.

When you are in king of people, you should make offerings, burn incense and worship, and then enter the wine for the first time. At this time, you should sincerely pray to the kitchen god, and then enter the wine for the second time. After drinking for the third time, the old image of the kitchen god was torn off and burned with the gods, horses and money, which meant to send the kitchen god to heaven, and the ceremony was successfully completed.

Fourth, burn bamboo and horses.

Burning a horse with paper paste is to make a mount for the kitchen god. You should prepare some soybeans and hay as dry food and forage for the kitchen god and the horse to travel long distances.

Fifth, meet the kitchen god.

After sending the stove, of course, take the kitchen god home! Most stoves are connected on New Year's Eve, and some are connected on New Year's Day or as late as the 15th day of the first month. We should set up a new god and a new statue of the kitchen god.
