The moral of the twelve New Year's dishes, New Year's Eve, and every dish on the dining table has a different meaning, which we in China attach great importance to and can't be replaced by all kinds of delicious food. Here I would like to introduce the meaning of traditional New Year food in China.

The moral of the twelve Chinese New Year dishes is 1 1, and jiaozi: the way to make money.

In China folklore, eating "jiaozi" on New Year's Eve is an important feast that no food can replace. "jiaozi", also called "Jiaozi" or "Joule", means the alternation of old and new, and it is also a must-eat feast food. Eating jiaozi means "making friends when I was young", while "Zi" means "Zi Shi", which is homophonic with "Jiao" and means "Happy Reunion" and "Good luck". In addition, jiaozi, which is shaped like an ingot, has the auspicious meaning of "making a fortune" when eating jiaozi in the New Year.

2. Chicken: There are plans.

On New Year's Eve, a chicken is indispensable on a sumptuous dinner table. On New Year's Eve, chicken is the first dish for dinner in many places, because it means good luck. There must be a chicken on the Chinese New Year's dinner table, because "eating chicken begins". The local Hakkas in Guangzhou worship God, regard chickens and geese as the "firstborn", and all choose "take the chicken", which means that they are living fiercely.

In order to reduce the intake of fat and calories, peel it before or after cooking. In fact, there is a film between the chicken skin and the chicken, which can keep the moisture of the meat and prevent the fat from overflowing. Therefore, if necessary, the chicken should be peeled after cooking, which can not only reduce the fat intake, but also ensure the delicious chicken.

3. Pig gizzard: Good luck.

Pork belly represents a prosperous year, so every New Year, pork belly will be rushed to buy by old neighbors!

4, fish: more than a year.

Because there is a traditional saying in China that fish is an essential dish for the New Year's Eve. Eating carp on New Year's Eve is homophonic with "Li", and eating carp in the New Year is very prosperous. Eating crucian carp on New Year's Eve is homophonic with "auspiciousness", and eating crucian carp and crucian carp together in the New Year is good luck. Eating silver carp on New Year's Eve is homophonic with "Lian", and eating silver carp in the New Year is getting more and more every year.

In order to eat more than one year's kindness, you can eat two fish on New Year's Eve, one on New Year's Eve and one on New Year's Eve, which is more than one year's kindness. If you make one, you can eat the terminal on New Year's Eve and the head and tail on New Year's Eve, so there are fish tails every year.

5. Oyster sauce: a good market

In the south of China, there are many kinds of New Year's Eve, such as chicken, barbecue, Nostoc flagelliforme and oyster sauce, because "Nostoc flagelliforme and oyster sauce" are homophonic. Oyster black beans, also known as "dried oysters", are dried oysters (also known as oysters) and are a must-eat dish for Cantonese during the Spring Festival. Oyster soybean is the best food for calcium supplementation and is rich in phosphorus. Because calcium needs the help of phosphorus when it is absorbed by human body, it is beneficial to the absorption of calcium.

6. Shrimp: Laugh.

People in Guangzhou like to eat seafood, and shrimp will be an auspicious dish for the New Year, such as boiled shrimp and fried shrimp, because shrimp means laughing and laughing every day. A shrimp in the New Year makes you laugh and be happy every year.

7, celery: diligent

New Year's Eve is not only a family reunion and a good expectation for the coming year, but also an opportunity to educate children. Celery in long-term dishes is homophonic with "Qin", teaching children to be hardworking, and only hard work can lead a better life.

8, pig hand: make a fortune.

There are many ways to eat pig hands, such as stewed pig hands, vegetable delivery pig hands, peanut pig hands and so on. Because pig hand means to get rich, everything will be smooth and everything will be fine. So this dish is also the favorite auspicious dish in Guangzhou neighborhood!

The moral of the zodiac II. China traditional New Year food and its implication.

Fish: It means more than a year, and more and more money.

In Chinese, "fish" and "fish" are homophonic. China people like to have a balance at the end of the year, because they think that if they can save some wealth at the end of the year, they will earn more next year.

What fish to choose for the New Year's Eve depends on whether the pronunciation is auspicious or not.

Crucian carp: Because the word "crucian carp" is homophonic with the word "auspicious" of Geely, eating crucian carp is considered to bring good luck in the coming year.

Carp: the homonym of "carp" and "ritual" of carp. Therefore, people in China believe that eating carp in the New Year symbolizes good luck.

Catfish: "Catfish" and "Yu Nian" have the same pronunciation. So eating catfish is in the hope of making a surplus in a year.

Eat two fish, one on New Year's Eve and one on New Year's Eve. I hope there will be more fish every year.

If you only make a catfish, it's the same meaning to eat the first half on New Year's Eve and the second half repeatedly at the beginning of the Lunar New Year.

How to eat fish is also important. Let's see what's important about eating fish in the New Year:

Fish should eat leftovers, the last dish, not all, because every year symbolizes "surplus" This is a custom north of the Yangtze River. In other areas, fish heads and tails can't be eaten until the first day of the new year, which means that there is hope of surplus from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Fish heads should be oriented to distinguished guests or elders, representing respect.

Only people with the right fish head can eat first, and others can eat with chopsticks.

Fish can't move People with fish heads and tails are considered lucky to drink together.

Jiaozi: It means wealth.

Jiaozi, with a history of 1800 years, is a classic food in China and a traditional dish on New Year's Eve, which is very common in China, especially in northern China.

Some people wrap jiaozi like an ingot (meaning: make a fortune). It is said that the more jiaozi you eat in the New Year, the more money you will earn in the coming year.

Jiaozi usually uses minced meat and chopped vegetables as stuffing, and the dough is thin and elastic. People's favorite jiaozi is ground meat, shrimp, fish, ground chicken, beef and vegetables. Jiaozi can be boiled, steamed, fried or roasted.

People in China don't eat kimchi jiaozi during the Spring Festival because it implies poverty and a difficult future. On New Year's Eve, the tradition is to eat jiaozi with Chinese cabbage and radish. It is said that eating it can whiten skin and soften personality.

Bao jiaozi needs a few more pleats. If you pinch the edge of jiaozi too flat, it means poverty.

Some people in China will put a white line in jiaozi, and those who eat this white line in jiaozi will live longer. Sometimes a copper coin is put in jiaozi, and people who eat copper coins will be very rich.

Jiaozi should be placed in a straight line, not a circle, because the jiaozi in the circle means that life will always be in the same place.

Spring rolls: means wealth

Spring rolls are traditional food eaten during the Spring Festival, hence the name. Spring rolls are very popular in eastern China: Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Fujian, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hongkong.

Spring rolls are Cantonese dim sum. Vegetables, meat or sweet stuffing are wrapped in thin dough into cylindrical rolls and then fried until golden brown. (moral: twelve thousand gold)

Rice cake: It means getting better every year.

In Chinese, the pronunciation of "rice cake" is the same as "rice cake", which means "rice cake". The main raw materials of rice cakes are glutinous rice, sugar, chestnuts, dates and lotus leaves.

Tangyuan: It means family reunion.

Tangyuan is the main food of China Lantern Festival, but in the south of China, people also eat it during the Spring Festival. The pronunciation and shape of glutinous rice balls are related to reunion. This is why people in China like to eat glutinous rice balls when celebrating the New Year.

The moral of twelve Chinese New Year dishes is 3 1, with bacon flavor.

Eating bacon in the New Year is a traditional custom in Guangdong, Sichuan, Hunan and other places. Because curing bacon takes a long time, it is usually prepared after the annual heavy snow and solar terms. Bacon, sausage, preserved fish and pig's head are so delicious that people are salivating. In the old society, life was hard and material was scarce, so people pinned their good wishes on homophonic Chinese New Year food, so eating sausages during the Spring Festival was "eating often".

2. Fish

This is a traditional proverb in China. It is more than enough to eat fish every year, so fish is very important on this auspicious day of the Spring Festival. Many families will eat one on New Year's Eve and one on New Year's Day, hoping for a good omen for more than a year, which means more than a year. However, we still have a saying that we eat fish tails on New Year's Eve and fish heads on New Year's Day. This is also more than a year, with a beginning and an end.

3. jiaozi

Jiaozi is a traditional food during the Spring Festival. For northerners, how can Spring Festival food be without jiaozi? Jiaozi is not only delicious, but also has profound meaning. It has the auspicious meaning of "the way to make money", so eating jiaozi in the New Year means that the new year will be lucky. And the choice of dumpling stuffing is directly related to its meaning. For example, jiaozi with leek stuffing means wealth for a long time, jiaozi with cabbage stuffing means wealth for a hundred years, jiaozi with mushroom stuffing means encouraging wealth, and jiaozi with pickled cabbage stuffing means calculating wealth, so jiaozi is an essential food for the Spring Festival.

Customs related to the Spring Festival

1, dust removal

Years ago, the busy work was mainly to get rid of the old cloth, and sweeping dust was one of the customs of getting rid of the old cloth. The folk proverb says, "On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, dust and sweep the house". 23/24 ended, and officially began to prepare for the New Year. Sweeping dust means year-end cleaning, which is called "house sweeping" in the north and "house sweeping" in the south. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household should clean the environment, clean all kinds of electrical appliances, remove and wash bedding curtains, sweep six yards, dust cobwebs and dredge culverts in open channels. Everywhere is filled with the joyful atmosphere of cleaning and welcoming the Spring Festival cleanly.

2, paste the year red

Sticking New Year's Red is the general term for sticking Spring Festival couplets, door gods, New Year pictures, blessings, horizontal criticism and window grilles. Because these are all red festive elements pasted during the New Year, they are collectively called "Sticking New Year Red". Sticking New Year Red is a traditional New Year custom in China, which reflects people's customs and beliefs, adds festive atmosphere and places people's good expectations for the new year and new life.

3, lucky money

Lucky money (called "giving money" in Guangdong) is one of the customs of the Spring Festival. Lucky money is distributed by the elders to the younger generation. After dinner, the elders should distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation. It is said that lucky money can kill evil spirits, and the younger generation can spend a year safely with lucky money. In some families, parents will put their children under pillows after they fall asleep at night. Giving lucky money in the New Year reflects the care and sincere blessing of the elders to the younger generation. Lucky money has the meaning of exorcising evil spirits and keeping peace in folk culture. The original intention of lucky money is to suppress evil and drive away evil, because people think that children are easy to sneak around, so they use lucky money to suppress evil.
