The Kitchen God is one of the most important of domestic gods that protect the hearth and family.On the 23rd/24th of the 12th month of the lunar calendar, a week before Chinese New Year, the Kitchen God returns to heaven to report on the activities of every household to the Jade Emperor. People will make offerings to the Kitchen God on this day so that he’ll put in a good word for them. As a result, the Jade Emperor will not punish or may even reward the family for the coming year. -- source link
