What is Jizao in China(kitchen god)-Annieli tours

Annieli tours’s Beijing Tour Guide answer:
Jizao(祭灶：offer sacrifices to the kitchen god）
Jizao is a Chinese Custom and Tradition. Jizao falls on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.The old proverb says, “kitchen god go to heaven on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, come back first day of the lunar year”. So why does he go to heaven?
In common Chinese notion, there lives a kitchen god in almost every household. Kitchen god is recording the good everyone did or the bad everyone did. And he will report the thing they did to the god in heaven .
People want him to put in a good word for them, so people make a lot of candy and offer him the candy. At the same time it is necessary to shoot off firecrackers . Their purpose of doing this is a warm send-off to him.
