The Spring Festival is not only the biggest but also the most solemn festival in China, especially the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the highlight of the entire Spring Festival!
It's not an exaggeration: most families start preparing for this meal several days in advance! And the reason why this meal is so important is to celebrate the family reunion, and the second is to celebrate the New Year together as a family, praying for a better life in the coming year!
Therefore, on Chinese New Year's Eve, there are often the most rules and exquisiteness. There is an old saying: Chinese New Year's Eve is not empty, and the coming year will not be poor".

Many young people still don't understand, don't worry, let's take a look together!
Bai Juyi once wrote:The lights are on the four sides of the city, and the galaxy is a water**. The reason why we attach importance to the Spring Festival is that we hope that through such a form, it will indicate good luck in the coming year, prosperity of people, and good luck. Therefore, the house must have fireworks. Otherwise, if it is empty, how can people prosper? Where to have fun with the family?

From the night of Chinese New Year's Eve to the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, there will always be a house with lights on every house! The particular thing is that the lights of the house cannot be empty, and the lights are on means that the family is prosperous; Secondly, the brighter the light, the more prosperous the fortune in the coming year.
As the old saying goes: if the pots and bowls are empty, you will be poor in the coming year! On Chinese New Year's Eve, remember that the pots and bowls at home cannot be empty! There is a saying that everyone has heard: the poor can't open the pot! Therefore, in order to symbolize abundance, generally on Chinese New Year's Eve, some meals will be left in the pot, meaning that the family has surplus food and abundance!
As the old saying goes: don't panic when you have surplus food at home! Chinese New Year's Eve is a day of succession, so the old tradition pays attention to filling the grain tank at home on this day, which means that the next year will have a bumper harvest and more than abundance! Of course, in more particular families, not only the grain tank will be full, but also the water tank at home, today's refrigerator, etc., will be full. Not only does it mean good, but it will also be used to entertain guests in the New Year, and it will not be rushed to buy it again.
As a native of the countryside and growing up in the countryside, even now he has not forgotten the firewood pot at home to cook in his childhood! At that time, it was necessary to make a fire for stir-frying, and the firewood needed was generally the branches of the orchard, as well as the corn stalks and wheat stalks in the field.
Tang Bohu, a famous painter and poet of the Ming Dynasty, wrote in "Seven Things to Open the Door": firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea! Firewood is listed first, without firewood, how to cook. Therefore, on Chinese New Year's Eve in ancient times, every household would pile up firewood, especially firewood and "wealth", which means that the coming year will be prosperous and the wealth will be rolling.
The last thing that is not empty on Chinese New Year's Eve is that the fish plate cannot be empty! Not only can the fish plate not be empty, but when eating fish at Chinese New Year's Eve, the head and tail of the fish should be retained, which means that there is a head and a tail, and there is more than enough every year, and I hope that everything will go well in the coming year!
In fact, the sixth day of Chinese New Year's Eve is not empty, and the coming year will not be poor, which is about people pleasing a good prize, and it is also the expectation of a better life in the future. It is precisely this and that custom that makes our New Year's flavor even stronger! The Year of the Dragon is here, and Lao Yu wishes everyone here: the Year of the Dragon is mighty and good luck!
