1February 22nd is called "Chef's Day". On this day, we should clean the shrine of the kitchen god, burn incense with clean hands and send him to heaven. This year, in order to prevent Kitchen God from telling the ugly behavior of his family, he will often be given cakes made of glutinous rice to stick his mouth. Legend has it that Kitchen God won't come back until dawn on New Year's Day. ?
1February 24th, commonly known as "New Year's Eve". Every household begins to clean the house, which means getting rid of the old and dirty things and welcoming the new year with a new look. On this day, housewives tie the bamboo branches or sugarcane tail leaves that have already been prepared on long bamboo poles to clean the dust in the house. This is called "sweeping the house dust". Tie a broom with bamboo branches, which means longevity; Sugarcane leaves mean "one year is sweet to the end". At the same time, all furniture and tableware should be cleaned. ?
1From February 25th to 27th, every household began to soak rice noodles. In the past, there were not many families raising pheasants in rural areas, so they generally had to queue up and take turns making flour. The weather is dry at the end of winter, so dry the powder outside with a dustpan for later use.
