Chinese New Year Eve Dinner (Nian Ye Fan / 年夜饭)
Ancient Chinese tradition — pan-China with regional variations
The most important meal in the Chinese calendar — the New Year's Eve reunion dinner brings all family together. Dishes are chosen for auspicious symbolism: fish (年年有余 — surplus each year), dumplings (shape like gold ingots), spring rolls (wealth), nian gao (year-rising), tang yuan (reunion), whole chicken (prosperity), longevity noodles (long life). The number and variety of dishes signals family status.
