Legends

Legend has it that there is a three-corpse god attached to the body of people, and he often makes small reports to the Jade Emperor, saying bad things about the world. In a very short period of time, the Jade Emperor received 99,999 secret reports from him, saying that the world was going to rebel against the heavenly court. When the Jade Emperor saw this, he was furious, and immediately summoned the Three Corpse Gods, ordering him to write the crime on the wall of the house of the person who spoke ill of the Jade Emperor, and then let the spider make a big web and hang it under the eaves.

The Jade Emperor also ordered Wang Lingguan to go to the Nether on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and anyone who saw the three corpse gods making a mark would be beheaded all over the house.

Seeing that the conspiracy was about to succeed and that he could monopolize the beautiful world, the three corpse gods quickly descended to earth and marked the walls of every house. Zaojun discovered the conspiracy of the three corpse gods, and hurriedly sought out the Zao Wangye of each family to discuss countermeasures: from the day the stove was delivered, the house was cleaned before Chinese New Year's Eve.

When Wang Lingguan was ordered to inspect the lower realm on Chinese New Year's Eve, he found that every household was clean, and the people kept to themselves and worked hard. The Jade Emperor learned from Wang Lingguan and the King of the Stove that the three corpse gods had wronged good people, and he was furious and imprisoned the three corpse gods forever.

Since then, the kind-hearted stove king has been supported by everyone, and the stove must be sacrificed on the twenty-third day of the lunar month every year, and sweeping the dust has also become a folk habit. People sweep the house because after a year of living in the house, the New Year is approaching, and they need to clean it and prepare for the New Year.
