Having more than one year after year means "fish to represent surplus, fish to represent good luck, and fish to represent wealth." It means living a prosperous life and having extra wealth and food every year!

1. Fish every year is a homophonic pronunciation of "more than every year". It can be said to be one of the most representative languages ????of traditional Chinese auspicious blessings. If represented by pictures, it can be regarded as a traditional auspicious symbol. There must be a lotus or lotus root in the picture, and there must also be a fish, that is, "there is a fish in the lotus connection". It represents a prosperous life, with extra money and food every year!

2. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, fishing customs in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins converged, and Jiangdong was further developed. Fish and rice were far superior to those of Sun Wu, and people at that time began to call Jiangdong the "Land of Fish and Rice." At that time, fishing was booming, business opportunities abounded, and it was a fashionable way to make money. The development of fisheries will inevitably lead to the rise of fishing customs. The public opinion of "eating fish brings good luck" and "using fish as a metaphor for surplus" is "suggestive" and is promoted by fishermen in Jiangdong, the "land of plenty". It is reasonable and logical. At least, there is an atmosphere here that creates the annual custom of "having more than enough every year".

3. In the "Eight Treasures Picture" that has been popular since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, one of the eight treasures, "Jade Fish", has been promoted as "Auspicious Days with Fish (Yu)" because of its homophony, symbolizing the New Year. The scenery is good and the scenery is prosperous. This type of ancient cultural relic includes a bronze washer from the Han Dynasty, with a pair of fishes painted on the bottom and the words "Dajiyang" on the side.

4. "More than enough every year" is caused by changes in people's material levels driving people's concept of eating fish. To this day, in many areas of the south, "whole fish" is still the highlight of the banquet, usually as an embellishment at the end of the banquet. It is basically served to maintain this custom, and no one will finish it. In some areas, the first course is the whole fish, which is kept in the middle of the wine table until the end of the banquet, when people symbolically move their chopsticks to it. Both of these fish-eating customs mean that the fish is left over from this year and is reserved for next year, following the auspicious meaning of "more than enough every year".
