The Tradition of Having Wedding Dinner

The banquet is an important part of Chinese culture. More than just a meal, it represents an opportunity to build relationships.

Dishes carry symbolic significance at a banquet including :

1) A cold platter of jellyfish and various meats arranged in dragon and phoenix shapes. In Chinese culture, dragon symbolizes the yang or male aspect, while the phoenix is a representation of the ying or female aspect. The dish, therefore, is a symbolic marriage of the ying and yang, which is a fundamental principle in Taoist belief.

2) Whole chicken dish serves to represent hopes for a good marriage and the union of two families. When served whole, the chicken emphasizes the ideal of family unity.

3) Duck represents fidelity.

4) Fish is usually served whole, and is a very important menu in a Chinese banquet. It is usually served last and the dish is pointed towards the guests of honour. The whole fish is a symbol of togetherness. The Chinese word for fish is yu and it is similar in sound to the words meaning 'abudance' and 'surplus'. So serving whole fish at the wedding banquet is believed to ensure that the couple will not lack for anything in the coming year.

5) Chinese dates, peanut, longan and sunflower seeds. The names of these four items spell out the phrase 'zao sheng gui zi', which means to have a precious or noble son very soon.
