It is a tradition for Chinese people to have a reunion dinner before the Spring Festival. The reunion dinner is the most important dinner of the year and the best time for family reunion, especially for families living in different places.

The dishes on the reunion dinner are rich and varied, some of which have special meanings. For example, fish is an indispensable dish, because the Chinese word " fish " and " Yu " sound the same.

Dumplings are also an important delicacy in many parts of China because they symbolize wealth and good luck.
