Different symbolism of food in a feast
-Sugar cane, because of its sweetness and long stem, symbolises good life (sweet and long life) .
-A round 'cake' of dried noodles and dried cuttlefish (juhi) were placed on top of the pig's leg. Ju hi in Hokkien sounds like another word meaning 'as one wishes'
- oranges and apples, because the orange colour symbolises prosperity, while the word for apple in Chinese is homonymous with the word for peace.
-Nuts and seeds for fertility
there's a meaning behind why are those dishes serve in the feast
which i find really interesting.
