Chinese fesitval dishes usually have auspicious and meaningful names and the tang yuan 汤圆 is no different.The entire phrase tang yuan 汤圆 symbolises "tuan yuan" (family reunion / 团圆 ), and eating tang yuan on Dong Zhi 冬至 represents family reunion and harmony, and also signifies family unity and family prosperity.
