The twenty-third day of the lunar month, commonly known as "Xiao Nian".
Legend has it that this day is the day when the Lord of the Stove ascends to heaven. As early as the Han Dynasty, there have been records about the small year, and the Eastern Han Dynasty Cui Ding's "Four People's Moon Order" contains: "La will be updated tomorrow, called the small year, enter the wine and respect the elder, and repair the monarch." "The New Year is also a day for family reunions, family feasts, firecrackers, and its activities are similar to the New Year, but they don't go out to congratulate. Since the Song Dynasty, the worship of the god of the stove has gradually become the main activity of the New Year.
