1 The number of New Year's Eve dinners prepared by different people in different regions is also different. However, when eating New Year's Eve in many places, the dishes on the table must be even, such as 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and so on. Therefore, if a family eats at least six dishes, it will take the title of "Liu Liu Da Shun", and it is not bad to eat more than eight dishes. There are too many auspicious words and homophonic meanings about "8", or 10 dishes are "perfect". More people can add even numbers, as long as it is not too wasteful.

2. The annual New Year's Eve dinner is a big meal that the whole family should mobilize. Every household will put on dishes that are rare on weekdays or that are auspicious: there are usually dishes such as chicken (meaning there is a plan), fish (meaning there is more than one year), glutinous rice balls (meaning reunion) and lotus roots (meaning cleverness) for good luck in the New Year. This is also the expectation for a better life in the coming year. New Year's Eve, what you eat is joy, what you taste is affection, and what you smell in the fragrant rice is the taste of home. The annual New Year's Eve dinner is extremely important to the people of China. The whole family respects and loves each other, and they are happy to sit around the dining table.
