On New Year's Eve, China people will have a family reunion dinner together, which is also called a stove. It originated from the ancient people who ate around the stove. When you are around the stove, you should eat together, regardless of age. Members at home must wait until the whole family arrives before they can start work. They should also set dishes and chopsticks for the family members who can't go home for the reunion dinner to show the members of the whole family. In the modern society where interpersonal relationships are displaced, it is particularly important to symbolize the reunion dinner of the members.
