【正确答案】Having the feast on New Year's Eve is the liveliest moment for every family during the Spring Festival. A big table is filled with substantial and delicious dishes on New Year's Eve. All the family members get together and sit around the table, laughing and sharing the feast. The feast on New Year's Eve may well be said to be the most wonderful meal in a year. In order to prepare it, people tend to be busy for several days in advance, preparing a variety of ingredients. The cooked dishes are of various kinds. Generally, in some places two things inevitably appear on the table: One is hot pot and the other is fish. The boiling hot pot sends out warm steam, symbolizing a great boom. 'Fish' and 'abundance' have the same pronunciation in Chinese, symbolizing 'more luck and auspiciousness' and implying 'abundance year upon year'.
