[quote=RITA,225258]The 23th day of the last month of lunar calendar is called 小年 -Lesser New Year (I don't know if there is any better translations:-)) (The Chinese New Year is called 大年) . This particular day is said to be the day Stove God goes up to heaven to report his work of the past year. Usually on this day, a new image of the Stove God will take the place of the old one in the kitchens, at the same time, the housewives will offer rich tribute to the stove god, so that he will speak in favor of the family to the "general" God in heaven, then offers good luck to this family in the coming new year.Usually, the housewives will cook something good for the whole family, but won't be as good as the dishes served on the New Year's Eve. I don't know much about the custom in south China of this day, but I remember in my hometown, we eat jiaozi for dinner! Furthermore, on 23th, every corner of the house should be cleaned to be sparkle. Housewives have a really hard day on this day![/quote]
