When did the annual meeting culture begin?
The origin of the annual meeting is the ceremony of offering sacrifices to landlords by folk businessmen in Fujian and Taiwan at the end of the year (usually on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month), commonly known as "Tail Teeth". Used delicacies are given to family members and employees for a big meal. The main course of the Tail Tooth Banquet is usually boiled chicken. In Taiwanese, "chicken" and "home" are homophonic, which means reunion and increase. It is difficult to find a specific record of the origin time, but it is said that "Tooth Making" originated from a businessman named Laomiya who commemorates the Ming Dynasty, so the rise of "Tail Tooth" should also be after the Ming Dynasty (doubtful here)

Nowadays, the company will hold employee dinners or large gatherings and social activities at the end of the year, which is also called Weiya. On the one hand, it expresses the company's concern for employees, on the other hand, it also encourages the morale in the coming year. Weiya's wealth and luxury have become a sign that the company's economic indicators are improving, even reflected in the stock price the next day.

The Internet has also promoted the development of the annual meeting culture. With the rise of self-media platforms such as blogs and Weibo, many ordinary employees are willing to record the highlights, tears, jokes and thunder in the annual meeting in the form of words, photos and videos and share them with their relatives and friends. Enterprise officials also seized the opportunity to package and publicize the company through the annual meeting to enhance the company's image in the eyes of the industry, the public and potential candidates. Ogilvy & Mather is a well-known public relations company in China, and its annual meeting planning is very topical and influential. In the past two years, the annual meetings of major Internet companies have also become hot spots sought after by netizens, whether it is the appearance of boss, wonderful speeches, cosplay of executives, or "? The birth of "Niang" played an important role in (to some extent) endorsing the (excellent) cultural genes of Xuanguan Company.
