If breakfast is the conscience of a city and midnight snack is the temperature of a place, then the New Year's Eve dinner must be the most distinctive epitome of Chinese food. Although China cuisine is divided into north and south, the definitions of food vary widely from place to place in terms of civilization, regional character and cultural differences, which makes the New Year's Eve dinner unique. However, behind this delicious taste, there is a surge of concern about human feelings and awe of the four seasons. The traditional New Year's Eve dinner is very different between the north and the south, but it must be rich and has a wonderful meaning. Rice cakes, jiaozi and glutinous rice balls are the most traditional specialties in the north.

In the south, people pay more attention to the name of the menu of New Year's Eve, and the dishes must be delicious. In China, regardless of the north and south, there are generally several things to eat New Year's Eve. One is traditional poultry and fish, and the other is rising star sea cucumber. Fish is homophonic with "Yu", which symbolizes "more than auspicious"; Chicken and "Ji" are homophonic, symbolizing "good luck".

Sea cucumber means "promotion", which means promotion and wealth, study and promotion.

Now that the New Year's Festival is approaching, foodies are eager to move again. They have taken stock of the national map of vegetables, and Xiaobian has selected several very representative local dishes, which are enough to satisfy the taste buds from the name and appearance of the dishes. Beijing-Sauced pork almost every family in Beijing has a sauce elbow. In addition to the products of classic time-honored brands such as Tianfu, Yueshengzhai and Meizhou Dongpo, there are not a few old Beijingers who make sauces at home. When they warmly greet their relatives and friends to eat sauced meat, the taste of this year will be stronger.

Hong Kong-Potted Vegetables Hong Kong people have always had the custom of eating large pots of vegetables during the Spring Festival. The so-called "pot dishes" are the dishes cooked one by one, with layers of meat and vegetables stacked in a pot for a banquet. A pot of dishes can contain all kinds of dishes. Nowadays, potted vegetables are usually packed in large pots that are convenient to heat, such as ceramics or metals. The whole pot is eaten while it is hot on the fire, which is booming and steaming.
