Mr. Cong Ong Tao's Day: What do Chinese people usually do?

HỒNG HẠNH |

This day is called "Little New Year" in China or the festival of the kitchen God - the god who oversees the personality and morality of each family.

Here are 6 things listed by the Chinese daily.

Donate to the kitchen God

One of the special traditions of the Lunar New Year in China is burning a piece of paper printed with the image of the kitchen God, sending him to heaven to report on the family's situation in the past year.

After that, the kitchen god was welcomed back by pasting a new piece of paper printed with his image next to the kitchen. From that time on, the kitchen god will supervise and protect the family for another year.

The kitchen offering ceremony includes pork chops, fish, red bean soy sauce, watermelon, fruit, steamed bags, toothoth candy and Guandong candy.

Cleaning the house

On this day, Chinese families carefully clean their homes, sweeping away old things to welcome the new year.

Eat Guandong candy

Guandong candy, a dish made from millet and wheat germ, is a traditional snack that Chinese people eat during the Party of the Cook God festival.

Cut the paper into the window

The old opposites will be removed and replaced with new opposites. They are cut from red sheets and pasted into windows as a decoration for the New Year.

Bathe and get haircut

As the ancients say, whether rich or poor, people often cut their hair before the Lunar New Year. Bathing and hairdressing are usually done on this day.

Preparing for the Lunar New Year

People have started shopping for necessities - ancestral offerings, treat guests and families for the Lunar New Year from this day on.

The list of holiday shopping for the Lunar New Year includes items such as meat, poultry, eggs, fruits, vegetables, fruits, rice, flour, cigarettes, wine, sugar, tea, red paper, images of horses in heaven and the kitchen god, incense, candles, snacks and a new calendar. Two things that cannot be forgotten are new clothes for children and fireworks to welcome the New Year.
