In some places, there must be fish on the New Year's Eve, which means "more than a year". Because the homonym of fish is surplus, which means surplus, eating fish is a good way to win the lottery. Moreover, the homophonic word "fish" of fish not only represents surplus, but also symbolizes exorcism. In ancient times, people painted fish patterns on doorknobs, doors, cupboard doors and box doors to drive away ghosts.

New Year's Eve, also known as the reunion dinner, is the highlight of New Year's Eve. On the dinner table of New Year's Eve, dishes are not only rich in color, but also very important. In ancient times, meals could only be served after the worship ceremony was completed.

Matters needing attention in eating fish on New Year's Eve.

1, the placement of fish for the New Year's Eve dinner is also very particular. The fish head should be aimed at the most distinguished guest at the table or the oldest elder in the family to show respect for the younger generation. If the guest is a learned man, you can also point at him with a fish belly, which means that he has ink in his stomach and is learned. In addition, when serving the table, you should pay attention to the placement of the fish, who refers to the head and who refers to the tail, and you can't change it after putting it away, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the people at the table.

2. When we eat New Year's Eve, we will also pay attention to the kinds of fish. Generally, carp means "fish jumps over the dragon gate", crucian carp means "good luck", and silver carp means "more than every year, more than every year".

In addition, the most important thing about the New Year's Eve dinner is that it must be a complete fish, preferably with a head and a tail. In addition, it is best not to eat all these fish, so that there will be more than enough next year.
