Makanan WAJIB
🥑 Yamie ( yg mie nya panjang). Selain cocok untuk Imlek, juga cocok untuk panjang umur. Tempat beli kalau di Jogja saya biasanya beli di Yamie panda. Intinya yg mie panjang. Beberapa Chinese restaurants juga menyediakan nya. Pastikan makan jangan digigit/ dipotong. Habiskan dari ujung ke ujung.

🥑 Ikan yang ada di dalam air ( masak kuah ). Dan jangan dibalik ya saat makan : artinya rejeki mudah sepanjang tahun karena tidak perlu bolak balik. Disarankan yg sudah dimasak seperti goreng terbang juga bagus. Intinya jangan makan pakai perjuangan
🥑 Lumpia atau apapun yg digoreng kuning keemasan . Melambangkan seperti emas
🥑 Yang manis manis seperti permen atau coklat

COOKING AND CHINESE NEW YEAR
You can start cooking again on the **second day of Chinese New Year** or later, depending on family traditions. Here's a breakdown:
### **Chinese New Year Timeline and Cooking Practices**
1. **New Year's Eve (除夕 | Chúxì)**
- Big family reunion dinner is prepared in advance.
- Most of the heavy cooking is completed to avoid using knives or stoves on the first day.
2. **New Year’s Day (初一 | Chūyī)**
- Cooking is often minimized or avoided to prevent "cutting away" good luck.
- Families usually eat leftovers or light meals that don’t require much preparation.
3. **Second Day (初二 | Chū’èr)**
- Normal cooking can resume for many families.
- This day is also significant as it’s traditionally when married daughters visit their parents, and meals may be prepared to welcome them.
### Key Points to Remember:
- Some families resume cooking on **Chūyī (first day)** if necessary, but they avoid using sharp objects like knives.
- Others strictly avoid cooking until the **third day** (初三 | Chūsān) for maximum luck.
- Traditions vary by region and household.
It’s best to follow your family's customs or choose a day that feels right for you!
🌺
It is not entirely true that you shouldn't cook during **Chinese New Year**, but there are specific beliefs and practices tied to cooking, particularly on **New Year's Day** (the first day of the Lunar New Year). Here's why:
### Reasons Behind the Belief:
1. **Avoiding Sharp Objects**
Using knives or scissors is often avoided as they symbolize cutting away good fortune. This can make cooking less common on New Year's Day itself.
2. **Pre-prepared Meals**
Many families prepare large feasts on **Chinese New Year's Eve** to avoid cooking on New Year's Day. This allows everyone to relax and focus on celebrating, visiting relatives, and honoring traditions.
3. **Fire and Energy**
Some believe lighting fires (e.g., the stove) on New Year's Day can symbolize arguments or loss of wealth, so cooking is minimized.
4. **Rest for the Family**
It's considered auspicious to rest and enjoy the holiday without engaging in chores like cooking or cleaning, symbolizing a smooth and worry-free start to the year.
### Exceptions and Modern Practices:
- In many households, cooking still happens on New Year's Day, especially for smaller meals or for visiting guests.
- The key is to focus on **positive and harmonious actions**, avoiding anything that could bring bad luck.
While it's not a strict rule, refraining from cooking or limiting it on New Year's Day is a way to follow tradition and enjoy the festivities.
