The significance of Chinese reunion dinner lies in the reunion of family members and emotional exchange.

In Chinese culture, the reunion dinner during the Spring Festival is regarded as one of the important family activities to celebrate the Lunar New Year. It is usually enjoyed on the eve of the New Year, symbolizing that family members should try to return home to meet their loved ones and welcome the New Year together, no matter where they are. The reunion dinner is not only a meal, but also an important time for families to look back on the past year and look forward to the future. Each dish is rich in cultural significance and blessings, such as fish (Yu) symbolizing “more than one year”, dumplings shaped like ingots representing wealth, and Nian gao symbolizing “higher and higher every year”.

In addition, the atmosphere of the reunion dinner is full of warmth and joy, family members reminisce about the past, share the latest situation to enhance the relationship, and also express good wishes for the New Year. With the changes of The Times, although people’s lifestyle has undergone many changes, the reunion dinner, as the most core and traditional part of the Spring Festival celebration, is still widely cherished and passed on. It not only strengthens the cohesion of the family, but also is an important embodiment of family harmony and unity in the Chinese culture.
