1. Billions of people travel back to their homes and families in China to feast on a delicious reunion dinner with plates and plates of homemade food. Many of the foods like egg rolls, noodles and shrimp mean something special.
2. Egg rolls symbolize wealth for the coming year because they look like bars of solid gold. Chow mein noodles shouldn’t be cut because long noodles symbolize health for a long life. Shrimp symbolizes happiness because the Mandarin words for shrimp and smile sound very similar.
3. As part of the festivities lucky red envelopes called “hong bao” are passed out to children as well as unmarried adults. In Chinese culture the color red symbolizes luck. In order to receive the red envelopes well wishes are given to the elders. Money is inside each envelope to bring prosperity and good fortune in the coming year.
在中国，十多亿人回到自己的家和家人享受美味的团圆饭，一盘一盘家里做的食物。这些食物中有一些比如蛋卷（春卷），面条和虾有着特殊的含义。
蛋卷（春卷）象征着来年的财富，因为它们看起来像金条一样的条状物。炒面不能被切开，因为长长的面条象征着健康长寿。虾象征着幸福，因为在普通话中，虾和笑的发音非常相似。
作为庆祝活动的一部分，被称作“红包”的红色信封会分发给儿童和未婚的成年人。在中国文化中，红色象征幸运。想要收到红包，祝福要送给长辈。每个信封里都装着钱，象征着为来年带来财富和好运。
