The Legend of the Kitchen Gods
In Vietnamese culture, the Kitchen Gods (Tao Quan) are believed to oversee family affairs and report to the Jade Emperor once a year. According to the legend, there was once a poor but loving couple. However, due to hardship, the husband left home to seek a better life, leaving his wife behind.
After waiting for many years without hearing from her husband, the wife believed he was gone forever. She then married another man, who was kind and took good care of her. One day, a beggar came to their home asking for food. The wife, being generous, gave him rice and warm clothing. As she looked closely, she suddenly recognized that the beggar was her first husband. He had struggled for years and returned in despair.
Feeling guilty and torn between the two men, she prepared a meal for her former husband and let him rest in the yard. However, when her second husband returned, she became worried that he would misunderstand. In panic, she hid her first husband under a stack of straw.
Unfortunately, later that evening, the husband unknowingly set fire to the straw to cook dinner. The flames quickly spread, and the former husband perished in the fire. Overcome with grief, the woman threw herself into the fire to be with him. Seeing this, the second husband also sacrificed himself to stay by her side.
The Jade Emperor, moved by their tragic love and loyalty, turned the three of them into the Kitchen Gods, responsible for watching over every household. Every year, on the \(23^(rd)\) day of the \(12^(th)\) lunar month, families prepare offerings to send the Kitchen Gods to heaven, where they report on the family’s affairs.
