New Year's Eve. A table full of hearty New Year dishes, family reunion, sitting around the table, having a reunion dinner together. Generally, two things are indispensable, one is hot pot. One is fish. The hot pot is boiling, steaming, warm and sultry, indicating that it is booming; "Fish" and "Yu" are homophonic, which symbolizes "auspicious celebration and surplus" and also means "year after year and surplus". Northerners are accustomed to eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year, which means replacing the old and the new with the old one. And because the white flour dumplings are shaped like silver ingots, serving them on the table symbolizes the meaning of "New Year's fortune, ingots roll in". When making dumplings, they also pack a few coins disinfected in boiling water, saying that whoever eats first can make more money.
