How to worship the kitchen god

First of all, the kitchen is usually sacrificed at night, and the whole family goes to the kitchen to pay homage to the kitchen god and offer honeydew melons made of sugar and flour. The reason why caramel is used to worship the Kitchen God is to make his old man's mouth sweeter and put in a good word for his family in front of the Jade Emperor. In some places, sugar is even sprinkled around the Kitchen God's mouth.

In other places, sesame stalks and pine branches are piled in the yard at night and burned with paper horses and horse fodder. The whole yard is brightly lit and looks very sacred. At this time, the family kowtowed around the fire to see the Kitchen God off and begged the Kitchen God to put in a good word for themselves in order to be happy and healthy in the coming year.

The position and taboo of kitchen god

The stove is the shelter of the kitchen god, and it is of course best to worship the kitchen god on the stove. If there is no place to worship above the stove, you can worship the kitchen god in the south of the kitchen.

The five elements of Kitchen God belong to fire, which is just suitable for southerners to worship fire. However, the biggest taboo of sticking a kitchen elephant is not to stick it too high, generally not exceeding 1 meter. Many people don't understand this now. It is wrong to hold an elephant high for the sake of beauty.
