Little New Year arrived, "stove" up

Little New Year is a traditional Chinese festival, also known as the "New Year Festival", "Kitchen God Festival", "the Festival of Cooking" and so on. The main folk activities in the off-year are sweeping dust, offering sacrifices and so on.

China has a vast territory and local customs vary greatly. Due to different local customs, the days called "Little New Year" are also different. In most parts of south China, the 24th of the twelfth lunar month is the "Little New Year", while in most parts of north China, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is the "Little New Year".

Little New Year is also the traditional folk day for sacrificial offerings. On this day, people will not only put candy melons and pastries on the tables in front of the statue of the Kitchen God, but also replace the old portraits of the Kitchen God and put up a new image of the Kitchen God that every family "invites" back.
