The custom of Yueyang Spring Festival
"Hundred-mile fish, reunion dinner" Yueyang New Year custom

Yueyang, commonly known as "Chinese New Year", has the same customs as other parts of the motherland. Besides killing chickens and ducks, setting off firecrackers and pasting Spring Festival couplets, it is very rich to have a "reunion dinner" on the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month. There must be a dish of fish in twelve bowls, which shows more than good luck. Before liberation, there were almost no fish in some areas. In order to have the dish of "Hundred Miles Fish", a "Hundred Miles Fish" was carved out of wood, put in a basin and sprinkled with chopped green onion, just like a real fish. People attach great importance to the reunion dinner. People who go out are rushing home, and their families wait and wait. When having a reunion dinner, the door should be closed to prevent the treasure from running away. Setting off a firecracker after a meal means that people have finished their New Year's Eve dinner and can walk around.
