2. Chicken. Chicken is the most common poultry in Chinese families. Its sound is the same as auspicious, so many people think that eating chicken is like bringing luck home. In some dialects, chicken also means home. Eating a whole chicken means "home".
The whole family is reunited.
3. Fish. As the saying goes, having more than one (fish) every year means good luck. Therefore, many families will deliberately leave some when eating during the Spring Festival to prove the word "more than enough". Some families also deliberately eat fish heads during the Spring Festival. No.
If you eat fish body for two days, you will have more than enough for many years.
