灶王爷的传说故事

在很久很久以前，落荒庄有一户人家姓张，兄弟二人，哥哥叫张德，是泥瓦匠，弟弟叫张才是画师。张德最拿手的活儿是盘锅台，东街请，西坊邀，都夸他是垒灶的高手。张才画的画，不论是神仙人物，还是花草禽兽，栩栩如生。日久天长，张才的画闻名遐迩，人们尊称“张画师”;张德盘锅台远近闻名，方圆几百里都尊称他为“张灶王”。张灶王有个“怪癖气”，就是爱管闲事。他不论到谁家盘锅台，如遇到婆媳不和，就要劝说。如遇上媳妇不孝敬公婆，他就说：“百善孝为先，你孝敬公婆，将来孩子也会孝敬你，这叫一报还一报。”直说得媳妇频频点头，笑逐颜开，对婆婆似亲娘;如遇上凶婆婆虐待儿媳，他就劝说，“当长辈要有个长辈的样子，要体贴晚辈的辛苦，小小不然，不要和晚辈挣个你高我低。有话好好说，千万不要伤了和气。俗话说‘家和万事兴’。”一席话说得婆婆心服口服，从此待儿媳像亲闺女似的。因此，左邻右舍，谁家婆媳不和，或有了疑难事，都愿意找张灶王商量解决。

张灶王七十岁那年冬天，偶感风寒，卧床不起，不料腊月二十三日深夜寿终正寝。张灶王咽气后，张家可乱套了。张灶王在世时本是一家之主，家里的大事小事都由他管，大人小孩都听他的吩咐，现在张灶王离开了人世，张才只会绘画写诗，虽是花甲之人，对于管理家务，却一窍不通。这时张才的几房儿媳妇，吵吵嚷嚷闹着要分家。张才一筹莫展，无计可施，整日愁眉苦脸，度日如年。

突然有一天，张才终于想出了一个好点子。腊月二十三日，正是张灶王病故一周年的祭日。这天深夜，张才突然起床，在院子里大声呼叫，他把全家人喊醒，说是“大哥显灵了”。当儿子、媳妇、孙男地女来到院中，他就带着他们来到厨房里。儿孙们只见黑漆漆的灶壁上，在飘动着的烛光中，张灶王和他已故妻子的美丽容貌，若隐若现，全家人惊呆了。

张才这时才说：“今天晚上，我做了一个梦，梦见大哥和大嫂成了神仙，玉皇大帝封大哥为‘九天东厨司命灶王府君’，封大嫂为‘灶王奶奶’。你们平时好吃懒做，妯娌不和，不敬老爱幼，闹得居家不得安宁。大哥得知你们现在又闹着分家，很是气恼，准备禀告玉皇大帝，今年三十除夕晚上，他要下界惩罚你们。”

儿孙们听了张才这番话，吓得毛骨悚然，惊恐万状，瑟瑟发抖，立即跪倒在地，连连向灶王爷磕头施礼，祈求灶王爷饶恕，再也不敢闹事。他们急忙取来平时张灶王爱吃的甜食供在灶上，再一次烧香磕头，恳求灶王爷不要和小民一般见识。

自从张才家祭灶王之后，经常吵闹的叔伯兄弟、妯娌媳妇们再也不敢撒泼，全家和睦相处，敬老爱幼，欢乐度日。这件事很快被街坊邻友得知，一传十，十传百，方圆百里的人都到张才家打探虚实。

其实，腊月二十三日夜晚灶壁上的灶王爷、灶王奶奶，都是画师预先绘制好的。他假借大哥显灵来吓唬儿孙们，万万没有想到此法如此灵验。所以，当乡邻们前来画师家打探情况时，他只好假戏真做，把事先画好的灶王爷像分送给左邻右舍。这样一来，灶王爷显灵之事很快传遍全国，家家户户的灶房里都贴上了灶王像。随着岁月流逝，就形成了腊月二十三给灶王爷上供，送灶王升天，除夕夜迎灶王回家，祈求灶王爷保护合家平安的习俗，一直延续至今。

灶王爷和灶王奶奶的传说故事

相传在远古的时候，中原大地有个张生，娶妻郭丁香。郭丁香长得眉清目秀，貌若天仙，性情温顺，吃斋念佛，乐善好施，人人羡慕张生有个贤惠的妻子，夫妻二人感情深焉。郭丁香不但貌美，而且持家有方。她种棉，防线，织布;种桑，养蚕，织锦，起五更睡半夜，风里来，雨里去，省吃俭用，家业很快兴旺起来，成了远近闻名的富户。张生家中存粮大囤满、小囤流，金银财宝不计其数，日子过得红红火火，幸福美满，人人羡慕。

谁知张家富裕后，张生忘本，贪图享乐，整天游手好闲，不务正业，更喜沾花惹草，喜新厌旧，不久以郭丁香不育为名，娶了一个年轻漂亮的媳妇李海棠。李海棠虽说人长得漂亮，可是为人奸诈，好吃懒做，过门不久，妒忌丁香，经常无事生非，闹得家里鸡犬不宁。后来海棠硬逼着张生把丁香休了。

郭丁香含泪离开张家，来到荒郊野外，她口中念念有词：“我的鸡跟我飞，我的狗跟我走。”于是家中鸡狗随之而来。接着她又念道：“屋里粮食跟我走，金银财宝随我来。”从此郭丁香在这里安家落户，不久又重新过上荣华富贵的日子。

自从张生休了郭丁香，他和海棠饱食终日，无所事事，整日吃喝玩乐，不到两年光景，把个万贯家产全部卖光。张生和海棠走投无路，只得沿街乞讨。

在一个风雪交加、北风凛冽的日子，张生行乞来到一家门前，这时他已饿得行走困难，站立不稳。这家丫环红红看他实在可怜，就把他扶进厨房，拿来美味佳肴，让他饱饱地吃了一顿。张生听丫环不住口地夸奖她家女主人智慧善良，乐善好施，可惜命运不佳，直到现在还是孤苦伶仃一人。张生十分敬慕这位女主人，真想面谢这位贵夫人。

恰在这时，贵夫人来到院子里，丫环忙告诉张生说：“你看，我家夫人来了”。张生见了这位贵夫人，头戴金冠，身穿华丽衣衫，面目和善，忙叩头施礼，口中一连声地叫道：“大娘，大娘，谢谢您的救命之恩!”

贵夫人听了，怒目喝道：“柳条子穿鱼你瞎双眼，见了贤妻喊大娘!”

这时张生抬头细看，站在面前的原来是两年前自己抛弃的妻子郭丁香。他羞愧难言，无地自容无，可是躲又无处躲，藏又无地藏，最后只好钻进灶膛里。郭丁香见了，急忙跟了过去，来到灶房，急忙把他拉出来。可怜张生已活活烧死。善良的丁香看到此情此景，悲愤交加，痛不欲生。她厚葬张生后，抑郁寡欢，不久也离开了人世。

玉皇大帝得知此事后，考虑到郭丁香生前为人，封郭丁香为灶婆，又念及张生能知错认错，封张生为灶王，专管人间、天上传递消息。

自从张生当了灶王爷，每年除夕来到人间，收集各家的善事恶行，于腊月二十三上天向玉皇大帝汇报，据此玉皇大帝扬善惩恶，以保天下太平。

百姓得知张生当了灶王，想起他的生前为人，敬畏交加，担心他在玉皇大帝面前拨弄是非，于是在腊月二十三日送灶之时，一边磕头施礼，一边唠叨：“灶王爷呀，灶王爷，上天言好事，下界保平安”，并且向他嘴里塞糖，还在嘴边摸糖，希望他说话甜甜的，在玉皇大帝面前不要胡言乱语。

灶王爷深知民间疾苦，状告三尸神在人间为非作歹，并且告诫各家各户从腊月二十三日到除夕，打扫庭院，才使三尸神的阴谋没能得逞。

俗话说：“路遥知马力，日久见人心。”在天上人间诸神中，唯有灶王爷最具人性，体贴民情，因此历来受到全国百姓的敬仰，每年腊月二十三送灶王，除夕之夜迎灶王，年年如此，乐此不疲。

扩展阅读：Little New Year and Kitchen God小年灶王爷

Little New Year, which falls about a week before the lunar New Year, is also known as the Festival of the (灶王爷), the deity(音：deɪəti;义：神) who oversees(监管) themoral(道德的) character of each household(家事). In one of the most distinctive traditions of Spring Festival, a paper image of the Kitchen God is burnt on Little New Year, dispatching(派遣) the god's spirit to Heaven to report on the family's conduct over the past year.——看到这里，你是否觉得平日里对别人的论头品足有点多，2015年就收敛些吧O(∩_∩)O哈哈~

The Kitchen God is then welcomed back by pasting a new paper image of him beside thestove(炉子). From this vantage(音væntɪdʒ ;义：优势;利益) point, the Kitchen God will oversee and protect the household for another year. The close association of the Kitchen God with the Lunar New Year has resulted in Kitchen God Festival being called Little New Year(这个“小年”翻译太Q太直接了吧?!捂嘴乐。。。). Although very few families still make offerings to the Kitchen God on this day, many traditional holiday activities are still very popular.

Studies of popular Chinese religion indicate that the Kitchen God did not appear until after the invention of the brick(砖头制作的) cooking stove. The cooking stove was a fairly late development in the history of human civilization. Ancient writings indicate that the Fire God(见下段注解), the earliest form of the Kitchen God, was worshipped(被供奉) long before the stove was invented.

此处注解一下，再看下一段英文应该easier一些：Fire of God(火神)在中国名为祝融，祝融以火施化，号赤帝，后尊为火神、水火之神、南海神，古时三皇五帝中五帝之一，葬衡阳市南岳区祝融峰，

《灶王爷的传说故事》(http://www.lp1901.com)。祝融氏酋长燧人，在世界史上最早发明了钻木取火、最早创建了集市，祝融氏燧人为三皇之一，号为三皇中的西皇。祝融氏是西皇所在的氏族，祝融氏即西皇氏。祝融氏是一个古老的氏族，融是荧火虫，像星星一样闪光，在黑夜里明亮;祝是祭祀，祭火，祭光明，祭祀天帝。祝融氏与伏羲氏(日)、女娲氏(月)、共工氏(水)同时，是崇拜自然中日、月、水、火的氏族。比神农氏(牛)、轩辕氏(猿)、三苗氏(蛇)、有熊氏(熊)、有虞氏(驺吾)、有妫氏(龟)等动物图腾的氏族还要早。祝融八姓：祝融的后裔分为八姓，即己、董、彭、秃、妘、曹、斟、芈。

Zhu Rong, China's ancient Fire God was a popular folk deity and had many temples built in his honor. Stone lined(排列成行) firepits(pit：坑;firepit：火坑), an early form of the brick stove, are still commonly used among China's ethnic minorities(少数民族). People in these regions make offerings to the Firepit God. The Firepit God appeared between the Kitchen God and the Fire God in the history of Chinese folk deities. The Kitchen God appeared soon after the invention of the brick stove. The Kitchen God was originally believed to reside(定居) in the stove, and only later took on human form(化为人形)。

Legend has it that during the Later Han Dynasty, a poor farmer named Yin Zifang was making breakfast one day shortly before the Lunar New Year, when the Kitchen God appeared to him. Although all Yin Zifang had was one yellow sheep, he sacrificed(宰杀祭献) it to the Kitchen God. Yin Zifang soon became rich. To show his gratitude(感激), Yin Zifang started sacrificing a yellow goat to the Kitchen God every winter on the day of the divine visitation, rather than during the summer as had been customary. This is the origin of the Kitchen God Festival, or Little New Year.——不舍小黄羊，哪来后半生的富贵?小故事，大道理。

There are numerous customs associated with honoring the Kitchen God and determining the date of the Kitchen God Festival, or Little New Year. The date of this holiday was sometimes assigned according to location, with people in northern China celebrating it on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, and people in southern China celebrating it on the twenty-fourth. The date of Little New Year was also traditionally determined according to profession. Traditionally, feudal officials(封建官员) made their offerings to the Kitchen God on the twenty-third, the common people on the twenty-fourth, and coastal fishing people on the twenty-fifth. The person officiating at the sacrificial rites was generally the male head of the household.——难怪北京地区基本都按照大年二十三过小年，因为京城官员多......

The evening before Little New Year, the image of the Kitchen God that has been overseeing the household for the past year is taken down from its position by the stove. While the image is dried in preparation for burning, offerings and firewood are prepared. The firewood may includebundles of(一捆一捆的) pine(松枝), cypress(柏树枝), holly, and pomegranate twigs(石榴细枝). A new image of the Kitchen God is purchased, and figures of horses and dogs areplaited(描绘、编织) out of sorghum stalks(高粱杆子). The offerings include pig's head, fish,sweet bean paste(豆沙), melons(甜瓜), fruit, boiled dumplings, barley sugar(饴糖), andguandong candy(关东糖，详见下段注解), a sticky(粘稠的) treat made out of glutinous millet(黄米) and sprouted wheat(麦芽). Most of the offerings are sweets of various sorts. It is thought that this will seal(封住) the Kitchen God's mouth and encourage him to only say good things about the family when he ascends to Heaven to make his report. The Kitchen God will be invited to sit in a sedan(豪华的) chair for his trip to Heaven. Consequently, the day before Little New Year, streets and alleyways everywhere are full of vendors(小摊贩们) selling papermache sedan chairs and paper gold and silver ingots(银锭) for the Kitchen God's journey, and singing songs in his honor.

注解：关东糖又称灶王糖、大块糖、麻糖。是古老的汉族传统名点，即是年节食品又是祭祀用品(祭灶神)。一年之中，只有在小年前后才有出售。关东糖是用麦芽、小米熬制而成的糖制品，它是祭灶神用的，也有人说它是用白糖加淀粉加水加淀粉酶酿熬而成。清人写的《燕京岁时记》中记载：清代祭灶，供品中就有“关东糖”、“糖饼”。关东糖在东北的农村、城市里，大街小巷、街市上，都有小贩叫卖：“大块糖，大块糖，又酥又香的大块糖。”乳白色的大块糖，放在方盘上，一般有三寸长，一寸宽，扁平，呈丝条状。新做的大块糖，放在嘴里一咬，又酥又香，有粘性，有一种特殊风味，是关东男女老少都十分喜爱的一种糖。

When a family makes offerings to the Kitchen God, it is in the hopes that he will ask Heaven to protect their household. According to an old maxim(准则), "In Heaven good deeds are reported, on Earth safety is ensured." The new image of the Kitchen God is not pasted up until Lunar New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, in a ceremony known as "welcoming back the Kitchen God." According to a saying from southern China, "On the twenty-fourth day he ascends to Heaven; on New Year's Day he returns to Earth."——按照传统，灶王爷像要从除夕或农历新年第一天开始挂在家里，以便欢迎灶王爷从上天汇报回家哦。
