In traditional Chinese New Year celebrations, the use of Chinese knots as home decorations symbolizes the strong connections within families and communities. During this festive period, families gather to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner together, reinforcing bonds and shared heritage.

In Yulong's view, this activity carries a dual significance—on one hand, it represents emotional connection and unity; on the other, it can also highlight underlying family conflicts and entanglements. This duality reflects the complex nature of family relationships and social bonds during the holiday season.
