The belief of Kitchen God, originally comes from natural worship, has gradually become a personification god from Fire God and Ancestry Shrine. The image of Kitchen God has been shaped by the concept of social restriction, and it reflects the public's impression and criticism toward the real world. His numerous appearances contain two connotations of the social cognition and the religious awareness. This study takes The Traditional Popular Enlightening Collection of Sheng Yu Xuan Jiang in Chin dynasty as the subject of the research of contemporary Kitchen God belief. It aims at learning the Apotheoses of the Kitchen God, and its characteristics in Chin dynasty and investigating into the manifestation and the religious intention of the Kitchen God’s belief. According to the differences of political demands and criticism, the image of the Kitchen God in the tales of Sheng Yu Xuan Jiang and the Kitchen King in folk tales are contraries to each other. One is honorable with positive image, and the other is disdained and negative. Zao Jun (the Kitchen God) in case evidence tales has had the supreme status and is capable to be the divine judge. However, the portrait of the god is a flat and boring character. There is no lively description for this character except his function for advancing storylines. The splendid stories of the Kitchen God in folk tales are not applied in the plots of case evidence tales. In Sheng Yu Xuan Jian, Zao Jun (the Kitchen God), the most human god of all, has been added in the plot. It has been edited in the story and given almighty power to manipulate good fortune and adversities. Nevertheless, lacking of theatrical description, Zao Jun (the Kitchen God) becomes a flat character under the enlightening of the social moral reform. As a result, The Traditional Popular Enlightening Collection shows the image of the Kitchen God under both restrictions of moral concept and political power. It can be the bases to observe the social setting and custom phenomenon in the text of The Traditional Popular Enlightening Collection.
