The god of the stove was one of the most important household gods in traditional Chinese popular religion. Up until recent times the cult to him was observed in the vast majority of homes, and even now persists in many rural areas. The focus of the cult, and the most likely agent of its transmission, is a colored paper image of the deity mounted above the stove. A major observance to the stove god is a distinctive part of the New Year festival, held to ensure his goodwill when he ascends to report to the celestial monarch on the conduct of the family. The god is often seen by Chinese and Western observers alike as being quaint and amusing, but he is in fact deeply ingrained in the popular imagination as the spiritual authority most closely linked to a single family unit, and as the defender of the male authority.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The god of the stove was one of the most important household gods in traditional Chinese popular religion. Up until recent times the cult to him was observed in the vast majority of homes, and even now persists in many rural areas. The focus of the cult, and the most likely agent of its transmission, is a colored paper image of the deity mounted above the stove. A major observance to the stove god is a distinctive part of the New Year festival, held to ensure his goodwill when he ascends to report to the celestial monarch on the conduct of the family. The god is often seen by Chinese and Western observers alike as being quaint and amusing, but he is in fact deeply ingrained in the popular imagination as the spiritual authority most closely linked to a single family unit, and as the defender of the male authority.
520 $a Records of the stove deity and the cult to him going back over two thousand years allow for the investigation of the evolution of a typical component of Chinese popular religion. The early deity from pre-Han times to the start of the Tang is an elusive entity, variously described as the dangerous and potentially malevolent "stove ghost," invoked for alchemy, exorcism, and black magic, as a goddess, and as one of the spirit inspectors watching over mankind. By Tang and Song times the god takes on a more human and benevolent form, just as the popular cult was evolving into its modern form in the South.
520 $a One consequence of the importance of the popular stove cult was the formation of a small corpus of scriptures and moral tracts which attempted to redefine the cult in accordance with elite religions and moral teachings. Early exemplars in the Taoist Canon inspired numerous tracts in wide circulation by late Qing times. The interaction between the textual tradition and the popular cult reveals much about the peculiar characteristics of each, and demonstrates that the latter remained fundamentally resistant to outside influences.
