（中国の）除夕の団らん料理（年越しの食事）

A deeply cherished family tradition during the Spring Festival. The meal typically features auspicious dishes: 鱼 (fish — symbolising surplus), 饺子 (dumplings — symbolising wealth), 年糕 (New Year cake — symbolising advancement).

正しい言い方

• 年夜饭不仅是一顿丰盛的晚餐，更是凝聚家庭情感、传承文化记忆的重要仪式，承载着中国人对家的最深切眷恋。(The New Year's Eve dinner is not merely a sumptuous meal but an important ritual that binds family bonds and passes down cultural memory — it carries the deepest longing for home in Chinese people's hearts.)
• 随着生活节奏的加快，越来越多的城市家庭开始选择在餐厅预订年夜饭，但无论形式如何变化，团圆的内涵始终是这顿饭的核心所在。(As the pace of life accelerates, more and more urban families are choosing to book their New Year's Eve dinner at restaurants — but regardless of how the format changes, the essence of reunion remains the core of this meal.)

避ける言い方

• 将'年夜饭'仅理解为一顿普通的除夕晚饭 — 年夜饭 carries profound cultural and emotional significance as a family reunion ritual; reducing it to just a 'dinner' misses its central importance in Chinese cultural life
