Eating jiaozi means "making friends at a younger age" by alternating the old with the new. And because the white-flour jiaozi is shaped like a silver ingot, a pot of pots on the table symbolizes the meaning of "making a fortune in the New Year, and the ingot rolls in". Some wrapped jiaozi, but also wrapped a few coins sterilized by boiling water, saying that whoever ate first would make more money.

Extended information New Year's Eve (also known as reunion dinner, reunion dinner) refers to the dinner on Lunar New Year's Eve (the last day of each year). The purpose is to have a family reunion and celebrate the Lunar New Year before the Chinese New Year. It is customary in China to observe the New Year's Eve after dinner.

In the Chronicle of Jingchu's Years, Emperor Zong of the Southern Dynasties recorded that "at the end of the year, family furniture and dishes are served to welcome the new year and get together for a drink." That is, every family prepares meat and vegetables (dishes) on New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year, and family members get together to drink and have a reunion dinner.
