The "Tail Tooth Banquet" originally meant that businessmen hoped that their business would be prosperous in the coming year, and prepared good wine and dishes for the local people to "make sumptuous food" and pray for blessing.
The ancient festival "Tail Teeth" has also been introduced into modern enterprises. Before the end of the year, enterprises in Taiwan Province Province and enterprises in mainland coastal areas with investors from Taiwan Province Province will also hold a reunion dinner for all employees. This banquet is called Weiya Banquet. It is very popular among Taiwanese enterprises in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
For example, Foxconn (called Hon Hai in Taiwan Province), the enterprise of Taiwan Province's richest man, Guo Taiming, holds tail teeth twice a year in Chinese mainland and Taibei, during which it not only draws millions of cash prizes. Artists such as Lin Chi-ling, Cai Kangyong and Wu Bai were also invited to host or perform.
Nowadays, "Tail Teeth" has gradually evolved into a celebration for enterprises to reward employees at the end of the year. The "Tail Tooth Banquet" is a banquet hosted by the company boss at the end of the year to comfort his usual hard work. It is only held once a year. Nowadays, eating "tail teeth" has gradually evolved into an important party at the end of the year. After summing up one year's work, the boss announced important decisions, and even the year-end awards were distributed at the "Tail Tooth Banquet".
Around the 16th of the twelfth lunar month, large and small enterprises will hold grand banquets and get-togethers. Usually, few chairmen and general managers will attend in person, and some will bring their families. They often change their usual serious and rigid faces, dress up as characters in film and television works or fairy tales, and enjoy themselves with all the staff.
After the sumptuous dinner, there will be a big party and a lucky draw. Company bosses, employees and guests will sing and dance together, perform programs to entertain themselves, and gag in the middle to set off the atmosphere.
