It celebrates the passing of a peaceful year and indicates the welcome of a new year. How do we celebrate the New Year? First, the elaborate multi-generation reunion dinner eaten leisurely and luxuriously at home is the norm. The reunion dinner eaten on New Year’s Eve is the most significant meal of the year.

For thousands of years we Chinese have always regarded chopsticks the simplest possible and the most effective tool for transporting bite-sized morsels of food from a bowl to the mouth. As early as in the Zhou Dynasty (11th -3rd century B.C.), chopsticks were used for picking up meat and vegetable, while hands were used for rice. The mastery of this survival tool requires a skillful coordination of fingers,
