Prosperity Toss

Today we ate yee sang for dinner. I have been eating yee sang since young during Chinese New Year and all I know is it is a symbolic thing to do, to signify that we wish to have everything good when we chant phrases that wish for good health, good fortune, prosperity and others. Then when google appeared on the web and I googled for information about yee sang, I found a wiki page just for Yee Sang (Yusheng) with details about its origin and meaning.
