🏮🎊Today is the Little New Year！ Legend has it that on this day, the Kitchen God ascends to report on families. People offer sweet malt sugar to seal his mouth, preventing him from speaking ill of them. In northern China, the Little New Year is celebrated on the 23rd of the last lunar month, while in the south, it's on the 24th. It's a time for New Year preparations—cleaning, making dumplings, and putting up couplets. The Little New Year brings excitement and reminds everyone that family reunions are near.🥰 #SpringFestival#china #Newyear#DiscoverChina #ChineseCulture #traditional #littlenewyear #xiaonian #kitchengod #華夏focus #非遺中國年 - @chinafocus_official
