Bring back the kitchen god on New Year’s Eve or welcome the kitchen. We call it receiving the kitchen there.
Whoever participates in the sacrifice kitchen is different from place to place. Many men participate in the sacrifice kitchen, but women bow down if they don’t. If men don’t participate in our house, both men and women worship first, and then women worship. I think women should worship the right women and turn around the kitchen stove all day. Besides, this is an old woman’s sacrifice, and it’s not a matter for gentlemen.
What does the kitchen god look like? Zhuang Dasheng’s stove bun Sima Biao notes that the kitchen god is dressed in red. I have seen the woodcut color printing kitchen king with a slightly round face and twenty or thirty sparse beards. It is not like a beautiful woman, but like a blessed old man. In our kitchen king niche, a rectangular red paper is posted to write that the East Chef is destined to bless the kitchen king.
What’s the kitchen god’s surname? When Jingchu was old, he remembered that his surname was Su Ming Geely. Not only did he even have his wife’s name, but I once read a story about a North Chinese citizen, saying that his name was Zhang San, who got into the kitchen chamber because he had done something shameful, so he became the kitchen king. Beijing folk songs are also clouded, and the kitchen god’s surname is Zhang. What’s his name? It’s hard to tell.
The God of the Town God’s Land Kitchen is the closest god of China people’s public life.
These gods were created by ancient emperors. Myths are rumors. The purpose is to unify the common people’s thoughts. It is a Shinto religion.
The common people also need such gods. Once the common people master these gods, they will become a kind of religious stubborn force. Without these gods, they will lose their moral standards, the scale of right and wrong, good and evil, and lose their balance of mind. However, it is impossible to spend all day. During the Northern Expedition, the city god of our county was pulled down and chopped into pieces by a group of bloody young people named Huang, which angered many women in urban and rural areas. Many women in our county, who have no education, will read the word South Amitabha, and they will worship the South Amitabha, no matter whether this god is it. Teach the gods that no matter which temple is fragrant, they all go to sit in a large area. They are very cohesive and have a good heart. They heard that the Lord of the Town God was destroyed. Ha, that’s not bad. They took a piece of incense and wanted to burn down the house of a member of the Party Committee named Huang. Huang heard the news in advance and fled over the wall and hid for many days. These Taoist women donated money to raise funds and just re-created a Lord of the Town God. They said it was very simple. How could there be no Lord of the Town God?
Ignorance is a great power.
Most people’s attitude towards the God of the Kitchen in the Town God’s Land is so fearful that they can’t stand by, but it’s not the case at this time. Many local operas play the God of the Kitchen, and the Lord of the Town God plays a little joke. They can’t always be so serious. It really shows a national sense of humor to feed the God of the Kitchen with some oriental sugar when delivering the kitchen.
Perhaps it is this sense of humor that keeps our nation from being blocked by the iron plate of faith.

Hometown yuanxiao
Hometown Lantern Festival is not lively.
No lion dragon lantern, no stilts, no dry boat, no big head, Liu Cui, no tea burden. All these were only held at the reception on July 15 th, when the city god was there. There were not many places to make fun of Lantern Festival, but it was quiet there.
Send Kirin for lunch in a few years. Three rural Chinese, one holding Kirin, one sticking paper outside a long bench, one knocking on a gong, one banging on a cymbal and singing some auspicious songs together. Every paragraph is fried and fried.
Ge Zha Zha ge Zha Zha
Kirin sent it to your home.
I’m deeply impressed by this bombing. What does this mean? It’s like a sentence. What is it? It’s simple to send Kirin without performing or moving the tune. It’s not exciting at all. After listening to a series of bombing, my grandmother will give them some money
The street rolls dice to catch the old sheep gambling stall. No one is lying quietly at the bottom of the big bowl with six dice. Sitting on a small bench with his knees in a daze, the year is almost over, and he is almost ready to lose money in the New Year. It’s still a matter of days, and everyone is not gambling.
There is a sugar blower at the entrance of Caoxiang, and the monkey dances with a big knife and the mouse steals oil.
Beishikou dough kneader green snake white snake old fisherman hemp fiber is made by buying Prunella vulgaris from a drugstore.
When you go to the altar of heaven and earth, you can see people pulling the sky and shaking it, and the bamboo is pulling loudly, and the sky is humming like a bull.
Go to Taishan Temple and watch an old mother burn incense. An old mother’s soles have dried up.
The day is almost over.
However, Lantern Festival is not considered Lantern Festival until the lights are late. In our place, it is generally not called Lantern Festival. It takes a few days, thirteen lights and seventeen lights go down, and the day is fifteen.
All the lights in each room are lit. Aunt, aunt, there are four glass square lights in the room. Second, mother’s room is painted with red birthday characters, white corner glass lights and a pearl lamp. My stepmother’s room is lit with red glass, and the lights are bright and gentle, which is very auspicious.
Go to the street to see the lantern. Even Wanshun’s lantern is very big. The villagers don’t know the lantern. Here it comes again. It’s just turning the chariots and horses back and forth, but we can also watch it turn a few times. Later, I also started to make a candle and looked at the paper wheel inside and turned up. The paper screen outside reflected the lantern. It’s a rectangular carton with white paper. Some colored little people are connected to a hair. The candle burns the hair. The little people’s hands and feet will move. Although it doesn’t go, we still call it the lantern. What kind of lamp should we
Children’s lanterns, rabbit lanterns, hydrangea lanterns, lantern lanterns are mostly made by themselves. Four wheels can be pulled to walk. Rabbit lanterns are actually not like rabbit faces, round eyes and two curved eyebrows. Lantern lanterns are all about buying hydrangea lanterns. They are a multi-faceted paper ball, a bamboo pole, a bamboo pole, two wheels holding bamboo poles, pushing the ball forward, that is, rolling the lantern constantly. Lantern lanterns are two sections, a horse’s head and a horse’s butt, watermelon lanterns and toad lanterns.
A custom may be that the hardwood long box of the wai screen is about three feet high and a half wide, and it is inlaid with silk paintings, meticulous romance novels, characters and stories. Before the Lantern Festival, a wai screen is installed, and about 30 screens are lit with candles. Actually, it is brightly lit. There are two comic books to see the wai screen, one is in the sun-refining temple, and the other is in the fire temple attached to the city god temple. The fire temple painting is a list of gods. After watching the screen of the Three Kingdoms for many years, it seems that it is not the Lantern Festival without looking at the wai screen.
Street people put flowers.
A few fires rose to the sky and went out in bursts.
In the morning, a red lantern is pasted with red paper on the outside of the bamboo bone. It is very good to put a candle in a rectangular tube and put it in the sky. Even the brain line is not at an angle line, the lantern can fly. It flutters slightly in the sky. I don’t know what it looks like. It is a little thin and desolate.
After the end of the year, the 16th store will be the gate. In our place, shops are closed from the first day to the fifth day. On the sixth day, two rows of doors are sold to sell something that citizens need. The sixteen rows of doors are removed, a whip is hung, and a few firecrackers are called the gate. So the year of regular business has passed.

Kunnian custom
Spread loose wool
During the Spring Festival in Kunming, many people spread pine needles all over the ground, and the custom of rosin Kunming also swept away the wealth without sweeping the floor on the first day and the fifth day of the first month. Not only did the pine needles spread, but the festive atmosphere also appeared clean.
The horsetail pine is planted everywhere outside Kunming.
Posting Tang poems
Some shops in Kunming don’t post Spring Festival couplets and Tang poems for the New Year.
The facade of smaller shops in Kunming is mostly like this. Half of them are brick walls and half of them are a row of four boards. After the Chinese New Year, they don’t unload the boards. Wan Nianhong paper is pasted outside to write a poem of Tang poetry. This wind is not seen elsewhere. It is also interesting to wander around the first street and read Tang poetry along the street.
Split sugar cane
On the streets during the Spring Festival, people often bet on splitting sugar cane. Seven boys pooled their money to buy a bunch of sugar cane. People prepared folding knives. A round of splitting sugar cane stood on the ground at the tip of the knife and pressed the knife against the tip of the sugar cane. The knife drew a circle in the middle. When the sugar cane fell, it was cut off where it was split. People could split it from the tip to the root. Everyone applauded.
