Kitchen God, please say something good about me!!Why do we eat rice cake on Chinese New Year?
In Chinese culture,we have a kitchen god.
The kitchen god will observe our deeds,
and tell the Jade emperor.
So we will sacrifice some Chinese dessert ( such as rice cake) for the kitchen god,
and to make the god happy,then it will say something good about us to the Jade emperor!!
Long new year's dish.
