The whole family got together from all directions, giving the meaning of New Year's Day reunion. Since ancient times, regardless of the distance, Chinese New Year is for reunion. You should go back to your hometown for reunion before the 30 th anniversary. If you really can't go back, you should also send a letter to report peace. This is what old people call "year-on-year". Qi means qi and reunion. After the reunion, eating is the most important thing. Therefore, "New Year's Eve" plays a very important role in China culture. "New Year's Eve" refers to "jiaozi" at midnight on New Year's Eve. This jiaozi is different in peacetime. It means "making friends" at midnight. At that time, no one slept, waiting for the arrival of the new year, in order to "live in old age", commonly known as "endure the year." Eating jiaozi will make you one year older. Therefore, this meal is also called "New Year's Eve". Pay attention to going to jiaozi.

When cooking jiaozi, in order to get lucky, sometimes a man will suddenly ask a woman, "Do you earn?" , reflecting the quick say "earned, earned, earned the old nose". Earning means breaking.
