Eating meat after work is a custom from northern China. It generally refers to the scene where newlyweds go back to their parents’ home or relatives’ homes for dinner in the evening. Since meat is usually regarded as a high-end food in China, it naturally becomes one of the essential foods in wedding celebrations.
In addition to appearing in wedding celebrations, eating meat after work can also generally refer to some family gatherings or team gatherings, where everyone shares food. On these occasions, meat is also an indispensable delicacy and is often regarded as a symbol of nobility and abundance. The process of eating meat is also a pleasure, and the taste and quality of each dish are very high.
Although eating meat after work is traditionally associated with banquets, it has now been carried forward by people and has become a cultural symbol. It not only symbolizes the harmony and unity of the family, the emotional connection between relatives and the cohesion between the professional team, but also highlights people's pursuit of food and quality of life. It is not only a taste, but also an expression of emotions and expectations.
