The New Year’s Eve dinner is based on dishes with beautiful meanings, the most exquisite of which is the 12-course New Year’s Eve dinner.

The twelve-course New Year’s Eve dinner usually consists of four cold dishes and eight hot dishes. It embodies three important cultural elements: reunion, family reunion; celebration, celebration of the year's harvest, and wishes, looking forward to what to do next year, including adults' expectations for children.

The New Year’s Eve dinner symbolizes the longing for happiness. This happiness comes from the parents’ instructions and the hope that their children who are working outside will return home and be reunited. It is also the persistence and sincerity of countless wanderers who brave the cold wind and heavy snow to rush home.
