What are the customs or snacks in Yugan Spring Festival in Jiangxi?

The custom of eating in China during the Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival of the Chinese nation. People in China celebrate the Spring Festival, and every household has to celebrate it. Diet is an important part of it. On New Year's Eve, people in China will have a reunion dinner together, which is also called a stove. It originated from the ancients who ate around the stove. When you are around the stove, you should eat together regardless of age. Members of the family must wait until the whole family arrives before they can start working. They should also set bowls and chopsticks for family members who can't go home to eat members' meals to show the whole family. In the modern society where interpersonal relationships are replaced, it is particularly important to symbolize the members' New Year's Eve. The slower you eat on New Year's Eve, the better. You should try everything. There are several dishes that are essential in the New Year's Eve because of their auspicious meanings, such as: [Longevity dish] (mustard) should be eaten one by one from beginning to end, so that the first year of the year can last for a long time; [Vegetable head] indicates good color; "Whole chicken" symbolizes the family portrait ("chicken" and "home" are homophonic); Eating "clam" is homophonic with "fat" to get its fat meaning; Eating fish balls, shrimp balls and meatballs means [three yuan and] (that is, being the top scholar, meeting yuan and solving yuan). Only fish can't be eaten on the table, which means more than a year.
