The custom of offering sacrifices to stoves exists all over the country. Of course, some ethnic minorities, such as Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai, do not offer sacrifices to stoves, but they will do it in another way. In the past, offering sacrifices to the kitchen god was not allowed to be careless. If the kitchen god came to the Jade Emperor to sue you about the blackness of your family, you would have bad luck that year. Therefore, every family attaches great importance to it and hopes that the kitchen god will say good things in heaven and keep peace in the lower world.
