Every household will put on rare or auspicious dishes on weekdays: there are usually chicken (meaning planned), fish (meaning more than a year), glutinous rice balls (meaning reunion), lotus roots (meaning cleverness) and other dishes for good luck in the New Year. This is also good for the coming year.
