Description
Persimmons are displayed and eaten during Chinese New Year due to its name as a homophone and its association with health:
- The Chinese word for persimmon is shì (柿). This sounds like the word for "matters," "affairs," or "business" (事)
- Shì shì rú yì (事事如意) is a common blessing associated with fortune and luck which translates roughly to may all matters go your way
-
Because the drying process preserves the fruit through the harsh winter, they are also seen as symbols of resilience and longevity.
- Giving them as a gift expresses a wish for the recipient to have a long, healthy, and stable life.
