Fish is an indispensable dish on the Spring Festival’s feast because "fish" sounds the same as "abundance" or “surplus” in Chinese. It is because of such symbolic meaning that fish is sent as a gift among relatives and friends during the Spring Festival. This symbolic meaning of fish is said to originate from traditional Chinese culture. The Chinese have a tradition of frugality. They believe the more they save, the more secure they feel. In this day and age, although people are getting more affluent, they still regard thrifty as a virtue worth praising.
