Before the reunion dinner, ancestors or gods are worshiped first, and the meal is started only after the incense and candles are burned.

There are usually chickens (for good fortune), fish (for good fortune every year), oysters (for good market), lettuce (for wealth), yuba (for abundance), garlic (for good fortune), etc. on the table for good luck.

Five Blessings is a home-cooked recipe.

It is named after the five healthy ingredients, including mushrooms, vegetarian chicken, grilled bran, day lily (day lily), quail eggs, five main ingredients, red dates, wolfberry and other cooking and finished dishes.

There are fish every year, which is a homophonic pronunciation of "there is more than enough every year". It can be said to be one of the most representative language of traditional Chinese auspicious blessings, that is, "there are fish in the lotus".

It represents a prosperous life, with extra wealth and food every year!

The New Year's Eve dinner is also called "Reunion" or "Family Reunion" on the night of New Year's Eve. After this meal, we say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one, so it is also called "Separation of Years".

In ancient times, people believed that New Year’s Eve dinner also had the functions of warding off epidemics, exorcising evil spirits, and keeping fit.

Therefore, the characteristic of the New Year's Eve dinner is a banquet for family reunion. Both men, women and children must participate. For this reunion, family members or children who are away must return home before New Year's Eve;

Leave an empty seat and place a pair of chopsticks for those who have not returned to express family reunion.
