A
Chinese god who's found in the
kitchen because most arguments occur in the kitchen. He watches over the household and at the lunar new year ascends to
heaven to report to
Huang Ti, the yellow
Emperor about the behaviour of the family.
It is customary to smear honey on the lips of the kitchen god before new years so he's only able to say sweet things.
Sometimes he appears as
calligraphy on a piece of paper. So where are his
lips then?
