Feng Qingyan smiled and said: "Although Zao Jun receives incense from one family, he protects one Kangtai, and examines the good and evil of one family, and plays a family's merits. However, do not forget that the common people also have the means of the common people. Moreover, the common people also used the set of life experience of 'taking other people's hands short and eating other people's soft mouths' to worship the god of the stove. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at Feng Qingyan again, and nodded slightly.

At this time, Li Jing was a little curious and said, "Is this okay?

"When sending the god of the stove, the offerings that the people worship are generally sweet and sticky, such as sugar melons, glutinous rice balls, maltose, pig blood cakes, etc. In short, the purpose of using these sticky and sweet things is to stuff the mouth of the god of the stove, so that he can say more good things when he returns to heaven, the so-called 'eat sweet, say good things', 'good words spread to heaven, bad words aside'. ”

Feng Qingyan said with a smile, talking about the folk legend about the god of the stove.

"Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, every household sticks a picture of the New Year, and there are couplets on both sides of the couplet' 'Heaven says good things, and the lower realm descends auspicious' or 'Heaven goes to say more good deeds, and the lower realm returns to the palace to descend auspicious'. ”

"Ahh

Li Jing couldn't help but be a little surprised, she couldn't imagine that the people in ancient times were so powerful, and they actually thought of such a way to deal with the Stove God.

It's just that the god of the stove doesn't manage the food production?

Why, it always feels wrong......

In addition, sticking to the mouth of the god of the stove made it difficult for him to speak ill of him. Some people also use sake lees to smear the stove king and call it 'drunken Si Ming', which means to get the god of the stove drunk, make him drunk and dizzy, and his mind is not clear, so as to make a few fewer small reports. ”

Feng Qingyan said lightly, glancing at the statue of the god of the stove in the main hall, "Therefore, the sacrifice to the god of the stove symbolizes the meaning of praying for blessings and avoiding disasters." ”

"That's true. ”

At this time, the old man nodded and said, he looked at the statue of the god of the stove and said, "When offering to the king of the stove, arrange the offerings, burn incense and worship, and then drink wine for the first time." At this time, it is necessary to pray sincerely to the stove king, and then carry out the second wine intake, and after the third wine, tear off the old statue of the stove king, and burn it together with the armor horse and the wealth silk, which means sending the stove king to heaven, and the ceremony will be successfully completed......"

"And the burning of a horse made of paper paste is used as a mount for the god of the stove, and a little soybeans and hay must be prepared as dry food and forage for the god of the stove and the horse for a long journey. ”

"In addition, incense was burned, prostrations were made, and a few handfuls of straw ashes were grabbed in the stove pit, scattered on the ground in front of the stove, and muttered: 'Heaven says good things, return to the palace and bring peace'. ”

The old man said quietly, looking very familiar, it seemed that there was a sacrifice to the stove king every year.

"I see. ”

Li Jing nodded, she didn't expect the sacrificial stove monarch to be so particular, "Thank you uncle for your doubts." ”

"After sending off the gods, don't forget to bring back the gods on the fourth day of the first month, which is called 'receiving the stove' or 'receiving the gods'. The old man advised, it seems that it is rare to find someone to say the Fa, so it is no wonder that he can say everything he knows.

"How do you catch the gods?" asked Li Jing curiously.

"The ritual of receiving the god of the stove is simple. The old man smiled and said, "Just put a new image on the stove." ”

At this time, the old man sighed and said, "Alas, now the society is no longer willing to sacrifice to the god of the stove. Are you interested, the old man couldn't help but say a few more words. ”

When he had finished speaking, he went back behind the gate.

"Old man, who has just entered the Zaojun Temple?" Feng Qingyan suddenly remembered something, so he asked the old man.

The old man was guarding the door, and he should know who it was.

In this way, it can save him a lot of time and effort, after all, it is not easy to find it in the vast sea of people.

"It's you. ”

The old man sat down and said, "Now there is no one who worships the stove king." ”

Feng Qingyan frowned, could it be that the old man was asleep and didn't know that someone had come in?

This is a big possibility......

"Young man, you know a lot about Zaojun, but do you know the origin of Zaojun?" Suddenly, the old man asked Feng Qingyan.

Feng Qingyan looked at the old man and said without much thought: "Actually, the birth of the Stove God originated from the worship of fire by the ancient people, and it is a kind of god worship developed from the primitive fire worship. ”

"Huh?"

The old man was a little surprised, he couldn't think of this young man, he really knew.

"The ancient people, in their long life of fighting with nature, learned to use fire, and fire became one of the nature worship of the ancient people. In the life of primitive clans, the fire that never goes out is their stove, so in the primitive people, the fire god and the stove god are the same......"

Feng Qingyan said lightly, this is his understanding of the Stove God.

And in order to seize the position of the god of the stove, it is natural to know it incomparably and know everything about it.

"Yes, it does. ”

The old man nodded, his face looking a little happy.

"However, since the day of the birth of the Stove God, his position has nothing to do with fire or stove fire, he is the chief inspector of the Emperor of Heaven stationed in each family, the head of the family, responsible for supervising the good and evil deeds of the family, regularly reported to the heavenly court, so he has been worshiped by the common people......"

At this time, Feng Qingyan frowned, stared at the priest and said, "Therefore, if the people want to pray for blessings and disasters, they must be respectful to the god of the stove. For example, it is forbidden to burn incense with the stove, not to strike the stove, not to put a knife and axe on the stove, not to tell strange things, complain, cry, call, sing in front of the stove, and not to send filthy things into the stove to burn, etc......"

"Therefore, every year on the twenty-third or twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, when the Lord of the Stove wants to ascend to heaven to report the situation of the year, the people will also put offerings for the Lord of the Stove and offer good food and drink......"

Feng Qingyan frowned, and finally said, "This is the so-called sacrificial stove. ”

"When sacrificing to the stove, maltose and wine are indispensable, and the wine is to make the king of the stove get carried away and dizzy. ”

And the old man became more and more interested, laughed haha, and said: "And the maltose is sweet and sticky, paste it on the mouth of the god of the stove, once the mouth of the god of the stove eats sweet, it is not good to speak badly, you can only say good things, and secondly, the maltose sticks to your mouth, and you can't open your mouth if you want to say bad things, you can only say vaguely." ”

At this time, the old man stopped, looked at Feng Qingyan and said, "This is what you just said, 'Take other people's hands short, eat other people's soft mouths'." ”

After a long time, the old man looked at Feng Qingyan and said, "Actually, you ignored a point. ”

"Which point?" Feng Qingyan asked with interest.

The old man was silent, as if thinking about something, and finally said: "Actually, behind the sacrifice and worship of God, it is for the purpose of strengthening the family view and the national view, maybe this is the secret of the nation's spark, unity and progress, and endless growth......

When Feng Qingyan heard it, he couldn't help but be stunned.
