Catfish: The Chinese for “catfish” (鲶鱼 niányú /nyen-yoo/) sounds like 年余 (nián yú) meaning ‘year surplus'. So eating catfish is a wish for a surplus in the year.
鲶鱼:“鲶鱼”和“年余”发音相同。所以吃鲶鱼是希望一年有富余。
Eating two fish, one on New Year's Eve and one on New Year's Day, (if written in a certain way) sounds like a wish for a surplus year-after-year.
吃两条鱼,除夕吃一条,大年初一吃一条,是希望年年有余(年年有鱼)。
If only one catfish is eaten, eating the upper part of the fish on New Year's Eve and the remainder on the first day of the new year can be spoken with the same homophonic meaning.
如果只做了一条鲶鱼,在除夕吃掉上半条,到大年初一再吃掉下半条,也有同样的意思。
鱼的吃法也很重要,来看看过年吃鱼都有什么讲究:
The fish should be the last dish left with some left over, as this has auspicious homophonics for there being surpluses every year. This is practiced north of the Yangtze River, but in other areas the head and tail of the fish shouldn't be eaten until the beginning of the year, which expresses the hope that the year will start and finish with surplus.
鱼应该是吃剩下的最后一道菜,而且还不能全吃完,因为这象征着年年有“余”。这是长江以北地区的习俗,在其他一些地区鱼头和鱼尾要到大年初一才能吃,这代表着从年头到年尾都有富余的希望。
