Therefore, the Chinese New Year custom in Wuhan exudes a strong local flavor: in addition to cleaning up the house, changing Spring Festival couplets, sticking up the gate, and inviting the kitchen god in the next year, on New Year's Eve, men have to fill the water tank with water, which is called "a good fortune and a long flow". On New Year's Eve, the whole family get together and have a big "New Year's Eve" (now called "reunion dinner"). In Wuhan, on New Year's Eve, there are usually "three dishes" (whole chicken, whole duck and whole fish), "three cakes" (fish cakes, meat pies and mutton cakes) and "three pills" (fish balls, meatballs and lotus root balls). Dinner is usually served before dark, and some families eat until the clock strikes, which means "the more you eat, the brighter you get." Since it is "talking about the New Year", they will talk over dinner, look back on the past and look forward to the future, and express their blessings to each other.
