Every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God will go to heaven to report the good and evil of the family to the Jade Emperor, so that the Jade Emperor can reward and punish them. Therefore, when delivering the stove, people put candies, water, beans, and mosses on the table in front of the Stove King's statue, the last three of which were to prepare the Stove King's mount for ascension to heaven. When offering sacrifices to the Stove Lord, Guandong sugar must be melted with fire and smeared on the Stove Lord's mouth. In this way, he could not speak ill of the Jade Emperor. There is a folk custom that "men do not worship the moon, and women do not worship the stove". Therefore, worshiping the stove prince is limited to men.
Tanggua, caramel, sesame candy and other snacks were originally eaten for the Stove Lord to put on his mouth, but they gradually evolved into must-eat snacks for children in their early years. There is a saying in northwest Shanxi that "eat sesame candy when you are twenty-three, and gnaw your fingers on sesame candy if you are not enough".
