“The banquet is going to be a huge, exhausting ordeal that lasts for days, and you need to deal with it too.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Flowing banquets and Spring Festival weddings

Some traditional Chinese families hold wedding banquets during the Spring Festival (such as starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year) because relatives have returned home for reunions. Multi-day flowing banquets (liu shui xi) showcase a family's prosperity and lavish hospitality.
