How To Lo Hei Yu Sheng Like A Pro? (11 DIY Steps Included)
Lo Hei Yu Sheng, also known as prosperity toss, is a traditional Chinese New Year dish for celebration. You can perform the Lo Hei ritual in any location, but it is traditionally done at home with family members present. It involves tossing auspicious ingredients into the air while wishing good fortune for the coming year.
In addition, Lo Hei, when translated in Cantonese, means ‘tossing good fortune’, so people believe that you should toss the salad as high as possible to usher in good fortune. Each ingredient has a specific attached meaning and an auspicious saying that you should recite while spreading them around the dish.
Why Is Lo Hei So Popular During Chinese New Year?
Besides the auspicious symbolic meaning of each ingredient of the Lo-Hei, it is also a chance to gather and bless your loved ones with good luck in the new year. Once again, the tossing action means to rise and thrive to a greater height. Therefore, it gains popularity with people in business and those in sales. Many also believe that the higher you toss the ingredients into the air, the more good fortune you will get.
