Fish — an Increase in Prosperity
鱼——越来越富足
In Chinese, "fish" (鱼 Yú /yoo/) sounds like 'surplus'. Chinese people always like to have a surplus at the end of the year, because they think if they have managed to save something at the end of the year, then they can make more in the next year.
在中文里,“鱼”和“余”谐音。中国人喜欢在年末有结余,因为他们认为如果自己能在年底攒下一些财富,明年他们将能赚取更多。
不同的鱼都有什么寓意?
What fish should be chosen for the New Year feast is based on auspicious homophonics.
年夜饭上要选用什么鱼取决于发音是否吉利。
Crucian carp: As the first character of ‘crucian carp' (鲫鱼 jìyú /jee-yoo/) sounds like the Chinese word 吉 (jí /jee/ ‘good luck'), eating crucian carp is considered to bring good luck for the next year.
鲫鱼:因为鲫鱼的“鲫”和吉利的“吉”谐音,所以吃鲫鱼被认为可以给来年带来好运。
Chinese mud carp: The first part of the Chinese for “mud carp” (鲤鱼 lǐyú /lee-yoo/) is pronounced like the word for gifts (礼 lǐ /lee/). So Chinese people think eating mud carp during the Chinese New Year symbolizes wishing for good fortune.
鲤鱼:鲤鱼的“鲤”和“礼”谐音。所以中国人认为过年吃鲤鱼象征着盼望好运。
