每年農曆十二月廿四嘅傳統節日；「灶」即係灶君，係掌管廚房同埋飲食嘅神。灶君亦負責監察人間善惡，而且會喺年底向玉帝禀報，所以世人就有謝灶嘅習俗，希望灶君向玉帝美言幾句。 A traditional festival on the 24th day of the last month of the Chinese year; 謝灶 literally means "to thank the Kitchen God (灶君)".At the end of the Chinese year, the Kitchen God reports activities of every household to the Jade Emperor (玉帝),so people thank him in advance for reporting their activities in a positive light, so that they would not get punished by the emperor.
