今天是小年 Today is " Xiao Nian", which is the most important festival before the Chinese traditional Spring Festival. This traditional event was in memory of kitchen god (we called "Zao Wang Ye"), and thank him to bring us sufficient food for supporting family. Although we all know that this "god" dosen't eat anything, old chinese people still prepare dumplings for him. Now, in many rural area, people kneel in front of the Kitchen God, fire the crackers to invited him come home, and eat dumplings. It's funny. In the eyes of the Chinese people, Kitchen God like a real person, if he eat the meal which had prepared for him, he should have the responsibility to ensure the family's harvest next year. Can it be bribery? Any way, if you have learned this traditional event, eat some dumplings today. good wishes for you all!
