While taking down the old image of the Kitchen God, every household also has to "invite" back a new one. 2. Sweeping the dust On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, sweep the house: From the 24th to New Year's Eve, the Chinese people call this period of time "Welcome the Spring Day" or "Sweeping the Dust Day".

Eat stove candy As the saying goes, "On the 23rd, sugar melons are sticky." During the Little New Year, people will buy sugar melons, Guandong sugar, sesame candy and other offerings, praying to the Kitchen God to have a sweeter mouth and to say good things to the gods. 4. Bathing Both adults and children need to take a bath and have a haircut. There is a saying among the people that "Whether you have money or not, you should get a haircut during the New Year." In Luliang area, people pay attention to washing feet on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. That evening, the mother-in-law and the children all washed their feet with boiling water. 5. Marriage After the Little New Year, people believe that the gods have gone to heaven and nothing is taboo.
