In  one of the most distinctive traditions of Spring Festival, a paper image  of the Kitchen God is burned on Little New Year, dispatching the god&#8217;s  spirit to Heaven to report on the family&#8217;s co<em><\/em>nduct over the past year.  The Kitchen God is then welcomed back by pasting a new paper image of  him beside the stove. From this vantage point, the Kitchen God will  oversee and protect the household for another year. The close  association of the Kitchen God with the Lunar New Year has resulted in  Kitchen God Festival being called Little New Year. Although very few  families still make offerings to the Kitchen God on this day, many  traditio<em><\/em>nal holiday activities are still very popular.<\/p>\n<p>  <br type=\"_moz\" \/>  <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-2673715991\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Year (Chinese: Xiaonian), which falls about a week before the lunar New Year, is also known as the Festival<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,16],"tags":[135,117],"class_list":["post-6518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chinese-culture","category-traditional-chinese-festivals","tag-traditional-chinese","tag-traditional-chinese-festivals"],"views":318,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6518\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
