Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people.
Excitement and happiness are palpable this time of the year， and they reach the
peak on lunar new year‘s eve.

Though the 15-day period， which starts with the first day of the lunar new
year and ends on the 15th day (known as Lantern Festival)， is relatively long，
it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they
have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps
them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends
over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and
setting off fireworks.

But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes，
thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good
food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to
society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best
time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was
possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main
reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese
people.

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China，
except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want.
Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for
obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

Tangerines and Oranges

Displaying and eating these fruits is said to bring wealth and luck.
According to the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco, the tradition stems
from the way the Chinese words for gold and orange sound alike, while the word
for tangerine1 echoes luck. "It's good if they have leaves," adds Lum, "because
leaves symbolize2 longevity3." But don't group them in fours, because, Dunlop
says, this number is associated with death.

Long Noodles

If noodles are served, then "keep them as long as possible for long life,"
says Lum.

The Tray of Togetherness

Put out for visiting relatives to snack on, or given as a gift, the eight
("a traditionally symbolic4lucky number," explains Dunlop) compartments5 of the
tray are filled with things such as preserved kumquats for prosperity, coconut6
for togetherness, longans to bring many sons, and red melon seeds for
happiness.

Nian Gao

"Nian gao means year cake, but gao sounds the same as the word for tall or
high," says Dunlop. Hence the cakes symbolize achieving new heights in the
coming year. The steamed sweets are made of glutinous7 rice flour, brown sugar,
and oil. Some versions have white sesame seeds, red dates, or nuts in them (the
dates are said to bring "early prosperity," writes Gong in Good Luck Life). If
you want to try your hand at making nian gao, here's our recipe. Chowhounds also
have some tips.

Pomelo

This large citrus fruit is popular, writes Gong, because it is thought to
bring "continuous prosperity and status." The tradition comes from the way the
Cantonese phrase for pomelo sounds similar to the words for prosperity and
status, explains Lum.
