春節是與家人團聚的時間。
The New Year's Feast is "a must" banquet with all the family members getting together.

The food eaten on the New Year Eve banquet varies according to regions.
除夕宴會上吃的食物根據不同的地區各不相同。
In south China, It is customary to eat"niangao" (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) because as ahomophone, niangao means "higher and higher every year".
在中國南方,習慣吃“年糕”(糯米粉制成的新年糕點),因為作為一個同音字,年糕意味著“步步高升”。
In the north, a traditional dish for the feast is"Jiaozi" or dumplings shaped like a crescent moon.
在北方,年夜飯的傳統飯是“餃子”或像月牙兒形的湯圓。
