Fish is an indispensable dish on the table on the eve of the Spring Festival, because the pronunciation of the Chinese word " fish " is the same as that of " Yu ". Because of this symbolic significance, fish are also given as gifts to relatives and friends during the Spring Festival.

The symbolic meaning of fish is said to originate from Traditional Chinese culture. The Chinese have a tradition of saving. They think that the more they save, the safer they feel.

Today, although people are getting richer and richer, they still think that saving is a virtue worth promoting.
