Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, it's already the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.
As the saying goes: "On the twenty-third, worship the Kitchen God; on the twenty-fourth, clean the house; on the twenty-fifth, make tofu; on the twenty-sixth, go buy meat; on the twenty-seventh, steam jujube buns; on the twenty-eighth, put up New Year pictures; on the twenty-ninth, buy wine; and on New Year's Eve, eat dumplings; on the first day of New Year, bow down and greet…"
According to tradition, "On the twenty-third, worship the Kitchen God," and once the Kitchen God ascends to heaven, the New Year is almost here.
So!
From yesterday, the twenty-third day of the twelfth month, we start "celebrating the New Year."
Commonly known as "Little New Year."
