The Lunar (农历的) New Year is one of the biggest and most important holidaysin Asia. In China,it is called “Chunjie”, which means “spring festival”in English. In Vietnam, it is known as “Tet.” Andin Korea, it is “Seollal.” These countries mark the coming year with many similar activities: familyreunions (团圆), cleaning the home, the color red, and traditionalfoods.Today, we learn about four foods considered lucky during the Lunar New Year.Spring rollsIn China, spring rolls are often made of vegetables and pork meat. The fried spring rolls look likelarge pieces of gold. The food is a symbol of wealth and financial success for the coming year.Vietnamese redsticky riceIn Vietnam, one food you will find during Tet is orange-red rice, called xoi-gac. It is made with gac,a fruit that only grows in Asia. The inside of the fruit is a beautiful, deep red. This gives xoi-gac itsorange-red color. And it is the food’s color that makes it especially popular during Tet; red representsluck, happiness and celebration in many Asian cultures.Korean rice cake soupNo Korean New Year celebration is complete without tteokguk, or rice cake soup. Eating a bowl ofit is said to bring a person a long life. Eating tteokguk also represents growing another year older.Koreans may ask a person their age by saying “How many bowls of tteokguk have you eaten?” Thesoup includes vegetables and thin, round pieces of rice cake. The round shape is said to represent oldKorean money. So, tteokguk is said to bring riches, too.FishIn many places in Asia, fish is another lucky food for the New Year. In Chinese, the word for fishsounds like the word for more or extra. So, fish also represents wealth. To be especially lucky, thereshould be some left for a meal the next day. That suggests your riches will continue throughout the newyear.
