Fish : The finale dish of New Year’s Day: Fish means abundance every year. Tofu fish, sliced sauerkraut fish, steamed sea bass, cold pot fish, grilled eel, crucian carp with fermented black beans, dry-fried pomfret, spicy and sour small yellow croaker, sweet and sour hairtail, saury, kimchi fish, DIY pan-fried longli fish... Among so many fish, why do we eat sweet and sour carp? Fish indicates a prosperous new year. Sweet and sour carp tastes sweet but not greasy, smooth but not astringent, and indicates a sweet and stable life. It is the perfect finale dish for New Year's Day. 2. Rice cake Rice cake is also called sticky cake, which means getting taller every year. It is made of glutinous rice in the south and sticky millet in the north. 3. Dumplings: Eating dumplings on New Year’s Day was popular in the north during the Ming and Qing dynasties. For example, Chen Bang's "Wan Shu Miscellaneous Notes" during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty said that on New Year's Day, people in Wanping County, a suburb of Beijing, "make flatbreads and offer them to elders as a token of their longevity." The Annals of Quwo County of Shanxi during the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty recorded: "Two days of making flatbreads wrapped in gold, and inviting sons-in-law to compete for blessings." The term flatbread was passed down among the people in the Yuan Dynasty.What are the celebration customs on Chinese New Year's Day?1. What is more common now are activities organized by groups, such as New Year's Day parties, hanging slogans to celebrate New Year's Day, or holding collective activities. In the past, people organized themselves to beat drums and gongs and perform folk dances together, and you can still see them on TV documentaries. With the development of technology today, it has evolved into a gala or something like that. 2. If there are any traditional customs, they should be those preserved among the people. Every New Year's Day, every household will set off firecrackers, kill chickens and geese, and after worshiping the gods from all sides, the family will reunite and have a meal together. |
