Question 1: The origin of the New Year’s Eve dinner: Answer: The New Year’s Eve dinner is also called the New Year’s Eve dinner.

New Year's Eve is an extremely important day for the Chinese.

On this day, people prepare to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and have a reunion dinner.

In ancient China, some prison officials even let prisoners go home to reunite with their families for the New Year. This shows how important the "New Year's Eve dinner" was to the ancient Chinese.

Family is the cornerstone of Chinese society, and the annual reunion dinner fully demonstrates the mutual respect and love among Chinese family members. This mutual respect and love makes the relationship between the family closer.

The reunion of the family often brings spiritual comfort and satisfaction to the head of the family. The old man sees his children and grandchildren in the house, and the whole family talks about their family life. The past care and efforts in raising the children are finally not in vain. What a happiness.

Speaking of the sound of knives and anvils on New Year's Eve, "Yanjing Local Records" written by Deng Yunxiang records a very desolate story on New Year's Eve: The poor in the old society had a difficult life, and thirty nights was a barrier.

There is a family where the husband has not come back with the money until late in the evening. "The house has already run out of bottles of millet and there is nothing for the New Year. The woman has put the child to sleep at home and is helpless. She hears the sound of chopping boards next door and is in extreme pain. She doesn't know what to do."

Can the husband come back with some money or things? He didn’t know how he would spend the new year tomorrow, and he was afraid that there would be no chopping board in his house to make people laugh, so he took a knife and chopped the empty chopping board, and while chopping, tears fell down..., this
