12 The implication of New Year's Eve.
Twelve-course New Year's Eve dinner is usually four cold dishes and eight hot dishes. It embodies three important cultural elements: reunion and family reunion; Celebrate the harvest of the year; Wish and look forward to what to do next year, including the expectations of adults for their children. The connotation of reunion dinner is actually a way for a country and a nation to increase affinity and cohesion.
The dishes of New Year's Eve correspond to more "good intentions": yuba stands for wealth, tofu stands for wealth, lettuce stands for wealth, celery stands for hard work, onion and garlic want children to be smart and count, and New Year's Eve covers people's pursuits, hopes and blessings.
New Year's Eve dinner has already gone beyond the category of "eating". The meaning of New Year's Eve is not the food, but the warmth between people. New Year's Eve is the core centripetal force of China people, and the warmth of New Year's Eve is exactly such a kind of warmth engraved in the bones of the nation, warm in the greetings of family members, and boiling in everyone's blood.
New Year's Eve symbolizes the yearning for happiness, which comes from parents' exhortation and parents' expectation for their children who are working hard outside to go home and reunite. It is also the persistence and sincerity of countless wanderers who go home against the cold wind and step on the snow.
China people are most concerned about their closest relatives and feelings, and are deeply influenced by the "state of etiquette". But in modern society, many family members go their separate ways for their livelihood and development, and it is rare to get together at ordinary times. The family is drinking and eating together, speaking out of turn, telling the feelings of parting and where will you go. What a pleasant thing it is to have dinner together.
What are the twelve dishes on New Year's Eve 12?
Of the twelve dishes, four are cold and eight are hot. Four cold dishes can be prepared according to personal preference, usually some cold dishes with wine and refreshing taste, or cooked food platters, braised pork and the like.
Pay more attention to the eight hot dishes, including four meats and four vegetables.
One or four meat dishes should include chicken, duck, fish and meat.
Chicken represents the golden rooster to announce the dawn, which is homophonic and auspicious. Auspicious; Ducks are animals that indicate spring, symbolizing this spring and beautiful arrival; Fish and fish are homophonic, meaning more than a year, while meat means a rich life.
Second, four vegetarian dishes should include Chinese cabbage, celery, leeks and tofu.
Because food and wealth are homophonic, cabbage represents a clear fortune; Celery represents hard work and wealth; Leek has been rich for a long time. As for the homonym of tofu and bean blessing, it means that there can be more blessings and abundance.
There are four kinds of cold dishes: cold Flammulina velutipes, braised pork platter, sashimi, cold preserved eggs, dry fried hairtail, cold frozen skin, chicken feet with pickled peppers, salted duck and sesame taro roll.

New Year's Eve is extremely important for China people. On this day, people are ready to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and have a family reunion dinner. In ancient China, some prison officials even let prisoners go home to reunite with their families for the New Year, which shows how important "reunion dinner" is to ancient China people. Eating New Year's Eve is the most lively and enjoyable time for every household in the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, a table is full of rich New Year's dishes, and the family get together, sit around the table and have a reunion dinner. The sense of accomplishment in my heart is really indescribable.
At this time, everyone's chopping boards are busy chopping meat and vegetables. At this time, the sound of every household's chopping board, firecrackers in the streets and lanes, the "scratching" abacus sound of shops and shops and the cadence of firecrackers are mixed with laughter and laughter everywhere, one after another, echoing joy and interweaving into a cheerful movement on New Year's Eve.
The New Year's Eve dinner is characterized by family reunion, and all men, women and children should attend. For this reunion, family members or children who go out must go home before New Year's Eve. If they don't come back in time, leave a space on the dining table for those who don't come back and put a pair of chopsticks to show family reunion.
