Eating chicken on New Year's Eve means good luck. Because the homonym of chicken is "auspicious", eating chicken on New Year's Eve means good luck in the new year. Moreover, there is a saying that "no chicken is a feast", and the indispensable dish in the New Year's Eve dinner is chicken, which is also the reason. In addition, the types of chickens are also very delicate, such as black-bone chicken and capon, which usually appear in Guangdong's New Year's Eve. Because the homonym is "purple gas comes from the east", it is regarded as auspicious and popular.
