What's on New Year's Eve?
One, round and round-four happy party balls.
The most popular dishes on the dining table are dishes with auspicious meaning, and New Year's Eve meatballs are essential dishes with the beautiful meaning of "happy reunion". The "Four Happiness Club Ball" stands for happiness, auspiciousness, longevity and happiness respectively, and it is definitely a necessary auspicious Caicai on the dining table.
Second, there is still more than a year-fish.
There has always been a traditional saying in China that there are more fish every year. Eating fish in the New Year means having enough food every year, having money every year and living a rich life. Fish is an essential dish on New Year's Eve. Eating fish is for good luck, hoping to win a good lottery, which is necessary for every household. There must be complete fish for the New Year's Eve dinner. I can't finish the New Year's Eve dinner, and there is only a little spare every year.
Third, make a fortune-pig hand.
The custom of eating pig's hands during the Spring Festival means "getting rich quickly" in the coming year. I hope the new year will be prosperous! When we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, we must chew the pig's hand (hoof), which means that in the new year, we will have good luck, earn a lot of money and win a good reputation. The more we eat, the more wealth we will have in the new year.
Fourth, step by step-Goldman Sachs ribs.
This is my favorite New Year's Eve dinner in my childhood memory. The ribs are wrapped in sweet and sour juice, bright red in color, sweet and sour to stimulate appetite, moist and fragrant. Rib slices mean "rising steadily", and luck will be smooth in the coming year, and life will rise steadily. Therefore, it is also one of the essential auspicious dishes for dinner in 2008, which means that life in the new year is sweet and steady.
Fifth, good luck-chicken.
"Nothing can be done without chicken" symbolizes "all things are auspicious", and chicken is homophonic with "auspiciousness", which means auspiciousness, avoiding evil and celebrating. The importance of chicken on the dinner table is self-evident. Chicken dishes on New Year's Eve can convey the meaning of good luck to family members.
Sixth, good color-tomato prawns.
The food on the dinner table is about winning goodwill, and eating dishes with good meaning means good luck and wealth in the coming year. Just like this "tomato prawn", its color is red, symbolizing the "prosperity" of life in the new year, representing "good luck", and it is one of the indispensable dishes on the table, implying good luck in the coming year.
In short, the New Year's Eve dinner should not be flashy, simple and have a beautiful meaning. It's important for a family to get together and share family happiness!
