EGO Assorted Fruit Box -Wang 500g 八宝盒 (Chinese New Year Gift Edition)

Food is one of the best ways to better understand and appreciate a culture. Food also holds a special symbolic meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception. In the Chinese culture, food culture is believed to have a significant bearing on the progression of life. Hence, the Chinese are very particular about selecting food types for special occasions like CNY.

Chun He, or the Tray of Togetherness is one of the most significant foods that has Chinese New Year symbolic meaning. This CNY symbol is traditionally made up of eight compartments, arranged in a circular or octagonal shape, as the number 8 symbolizes good fortune. For this reason, it is sometimes called ‘Ba Bao He’, ‘Ba Bao box’ or ‘Eight Treasures Box’.
