The flavors of Spring Festival warm the heart from the tongue. Dumplings, shaped like ingots and sometimes wrapped around coins and red dates, reveal prosperity and sweetness when bitten into; sticky rice cake (nian gao) is glutinous and symbolizes "better year by year"; a fish dish is always left with some on the plate to bring the auspicious "may you have abundance every year." Each dish is a code passed down by ancestors—no words needed; it is already is an authentic Chinese New Year.
