Randy W Posted January 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Little New Year (Chinese: Xiaonian), usually a week before the lunar New Year, falls on Jan 14 this year. It is also known as the Festival of the Kitchen God, the deity who oversees the moral character of each household. There are numerous customs associated with honoring the Kitchen God and determining the date of Little New Year. The date of this holiday was sometimes assigned according to location, with people in northern China celebrating it on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, and people in southern China celebrating it on the twenty-fourth. from China Pictorial on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ChinaPic/posts/pfbid02aTrbkSF7M1mEAqpedaFDYkxSxDdk64faoxbpMPFNLmqUExq4hAXrQuX7BnvDZkD5l Link to comment

Randy W Posted January 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 While the superstition isn’t widespread, the age-old tradition of hanging up door gods still endures during Lunar New Year. from the Sixth Tone on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/sixthtone/posts/pfbid02S6rsg9hbtYj3uVY7VHAXktTppeTpk2GP4DL9wwdr8dqN3JY8x6bLVniW8fhXDGKhl Spirited Away: A Peek into the World of China’s Door Gods While the superstition isn’t widespread, the age-old tradition of hanging up door gods still endures during Lunar New Year. Quote Known as menshen or “door gods,” they are venerated across the country as deities who protect homes from evil spirits — a tradition that dates back to ancient China. While belief in the supernatural isn’t as strong today, the time-honored custom of pasting their portraits on both sides of a door or gate still endures. Their origins can be traced back to ancient China during the Han dynasty (202 B.C.-220 A.D). Earliest available records show there were two such gods — Shenshu and Yulu. The pair lived on the mythical Dushuo Mountain in the middle of the sea, near a giant peach tree with branches that spread for thousands of miles. Link to comment
