What's the point of being a vegetarian on New Year's Day?

The significance of vegetarianism on New Year's Day: Blessing the whole family.

After fully enjoying big fish and meat on New Year's Eve, the whole family will be vegetarian on the first day of junior high school. This is because "fast" and "disaster" are homophonic, so eating fast also means "eating disaster", which can "eat" all kinds of disasters in the new year, and then wish the family peace and prosperity.

Eating vegetarian food for lunch in the first day of junior high school is not monotonous. People cook a pot of "arhat Zhai" with vermicelli, yuba, Nostoc flagelliforme and mushrooms, and the whole family sits around a table and eats this meal in the steaming air. This is not only very lively, but also implies that all vegetarian dishes that should be eaten in the New Year will be eaten on this day, so I wish the next year a smooth one. Therefore, it is better to be a vegetarian in the first day than in the whole year.

I will also choose to eat rice cakes during the Spring Festival.

People in many places will choose to eat rice cakes in the New Year. Because of its long history, this habit has become a traditional custom of China people. "Gao" and "Gao" are homophonic, so the use of rice cakes also means "increasing day by day". There are various styles of rice cakes, including square rice cakes and round rice cakes, which can also be divided into yellow and white rice cakes in color, symbolizing gold and silver respectively, expressing people's good wishes for making a fortune in the new year.
