The origin of off-year is as follows:

1. As early as the Song Dynasty, it was recorded that the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month was off-year, but at that time, off-year was divided into two days. Therefore, the custom of having a small year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month has a long history. From the Yongzheng period, the Qing emperor began to worship the gods in Kunning Palace on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In order to save money, the emperor also paid homage to the kitchen god. Later, the royal family and Baylor followed suit, offering sacrifices to stoves on December 23rd of the lunar calendar. Since then, there have been differences between the government and the people on different days to spend the next year.

2. Off-year is set up to worship the kitchen god. In the traditional culture of China, Kitchen God is one of the most important gods in the family. Kitchen God is regarded as the patron saint of the family, which can protect the peace, happiness and smoothness of the family. On the off-year day, people will set up a stove at home, and then burn incense, paper money and stove on the stove to worship the kitchen god.
