Why do we eat yusheng?

Traditionally served on the seventh day (初七人日) of Chinese New Year, yusheng is a customary Lunar New Year dish that signifies reunion, prosperity and good fortune for the new year. These days, families enjoy yusheng throughout the CNY celebrations – because one can never have too many blessings! 

From preparing raw fish and sweet dressings to tossing and eating yusheng, the whole lo hei process is a fun family activity filled with joy! Usually, one designated family member is in charge of saying auspicious greetings (more on that in the next paragraph!) that accompany each addition of ingredients, like fish or even the sprinkling of crispy golden pillows. Everyone then digs their chopsticks in and tosses the yusheng p in the air while gleefully shouting good wishes for luck and health! It is believed that the higher the ingredients are tossed, the more blessings everyone will receive in the new year. yusheng is commonly served on a big plate because of this as well – to catch all the food being tossed in the air!
