First, send it to God.

Every year, the 24th of the twelfth lunar month is "God Sending Day", which is also an important day for Kitchen God and other gods who used to observe people's words and deeds to return to heaven once a year to tell the Jade Emperor the good and evil on earth, so as to determine the good or bad of people in the coming year. Therefore, a special sacrifice should be prepared for Kitchen God that day, so that he will not speak ill of too many people when he returns to heaven, especially Kitchen God. Farewell to God is often held at dusk. The family went to the kitchen first, set the table, and incense the kitchen god in the shrine on the kitchen wall.

Second, reed (sound Xi m m m ? n) dust

Dust removal (also known as dust removal, dust removal, dust removal), dust removal on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, dust removal and filth removal, and household cleaning are long-standing customs. All these activities have a common theme, that is, "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new". On the surface, dust removal seems to be a great health, but in fact, it has another meaning, that is, to sweep away all bad luck at home and pray for peace in the coming year.

Third, cook bowls, cakes, clams and turtles.

Cooking means steaming in Minnan dialect. The shape of food can be easily controlled by using steam as heat transfer medium. The scene of transpiration and expansion brought by steam is a sign of vitality in a year. Therefore, every household will make all kinds of cakes during the Spring Festival, the most common ones are boiled bowls and cakes, pickles and rice turtles. The material for making bowls and cakes is ordinary rice that every household has.

Fourth, open and correct.

On the eve of New Year's Eve, the family stayed up until midnight 12, and ushered in the dawn of the new year. While "honoring God", every household sets off firecrackers and opens the door to welcome the spring, commonly known as "opening the door".

Five, providence, respect for providence

Born in the sky, that is, the ninth day of the first month, is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, the highest god in the sky, commonly known as "born in the sky". God is the Jade Emperor. He is the supreme god who commands the ten gods inside and outside the three realms and all the gods on the earth, and represents the supreme "heaven". "Born in the sky" is a very grand festival for the people of Fujian and Taiwan. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, make rice turtles, circle and drag, and steam sweet and sour steamed bread. On the eighth night, at the beginning of dusk, the lunch "Tian" was placed on the square table.
