It is a tradition for Chinese people to have a family reunion dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival. The family reunion dinner is the most important meal of the year and is also the best occasion for family reunion, especially for the families whose members live in different places. The dishes served in the family reunion dinner are various and abundant, some of which have special meanings. For instance, fish is an essential dish in it, since the words separately for “fish” and “surplus” sound the same in Chinese. In many places around China, dumplings are also a significant dish, because they symbolize fortune and good luck.
