! How did the history of Yecheng sesame candy come about? The Kitchen God has been staying at home since the New Year's Eve of the previous year to protect and supervise the family; On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God will ascend to heaven and report the good or evil deeds of his family to the Jade Emperor in heaven. The ceremony of sending the Kitchen God is called "Sending off the Kitchen God" or "Saying Goodbye to the Kitchen God". The Jade Emperor, based on the report of the Kitchen God, entrusted the fortune and misfortunes that this family should receive in the new year to the Kitchen God. Therefore, for a family, the report of the Kitchen God is of great significance.

Stove delivery is often held at dusk.

. The family first went to the stove, set up a table, and offered incense to the Kitchen God located in the altar on the stove wall, as well as sugar melons made from malt sugar and flour. Then tie bamboo strips into paper horses and feed livestock with grass. Offering malt candy to the Kitchen God is to make his mouth sweet. In some places, sugar is also applied around the mouth of the Kitchen God, while saying, "Speak good words, don't say bad words." This is using sugar to stuff the Kitchen God's mouth and make him not speak ill. In the Tang Dynasty work "Nianxia Sui Shi Ji", there is a record of "using distiller's grains to apply to the stove to make the magistrate (Kitchen God) drunk". After people coated the mouth of the Kitchen God with sugar, they removed the statue and ascended to heaven with paper and smoke. In some places, sesame stalks and pine branches are piled up in the yard at night, and the statue of the Kitchen God, which has been worshipped for a year, is taken out of the shrine, along with paper horses and grass, and burned on fire. The courtyard was illuminated by the fire, and at this moment, the family gathered around the fire and kowtowed, praying while burning: It's the 23rd of this year again, and we respectfully send the Kitchen God to the Western Heaven. There are strong horses, grass, and a smooth and safe journey. The sweet melons provided are sweet and delightful. Please speak kindly to the Jade Emperor. Nowadays, ordinary people usually go to supermarkets to buy sesame candy and send it to the stove

When sending off the Kitchen God, there are still several beggars in some places who dress up, sing the song and dance to send off the Kitchen God from house to house, called "Sending Off the Kitchen God", in exchange for food.
