Where is the custom of surrounding the kitchen?

The surrounding furnaces are Taiwan Province Province, Fujian and so on.

Customs of Han nationality 18 years old. Popular in Taiwan Province Province, Fujian and other places. On New Year's Eve, every household puts a stove under the dining table, or puts a stove (pot) on the table and puts some coins around the stove. Anyone who takes part in the stove, big or small, should put chopsticks on everything on the table and drink.

In Taiwan Province Province and southern Fujian, Han people, big or small, sit around a round table to eat hot pot and have dinner together, which is called "surrounding the stove". People who take part in the fireplace, big or small, should put chopsticks on everything on the table. Women who usually don't drink should also take a symbolic sip of wine for good luck. Every dish on the table is very interesting when "around the stove": fish balls (pills) and meatballs mean "three yuan" and symbolize reunion. Radish, like Minnan dialect, is called "vegetable head" in Taiwan Province Province, which means "good color head" and symbolizes good luck. The "chicken" of the whole chicken is the homonym of "home" in Taiwan Province Province, that is, "starting from eating chicken".

Some fried foods are fried with oil and fire to show "prosperity". Taiwan Province province is interpreted as "fat". Eating cockroaches means "getting rich". Vegetables "around the stove" do not have to be chopped with a knife. Wash and cook well, don't bite it off when eating, but slowly eat it into your stomach from beginning to end and wish your parents a long life.

When "surrounding the kitchen", if someone at home goes out and can't get back in time, we should also highlight a seat and put this person's clothes on the empty seat. It means the whole family misses him.
