Putting traditional candies into a Chinese candy box is a custom of Hong Kong people at Chinese New Year. In fact, there is a hidden meaning in this practice. It is said that people believe sweet candies symbolize an appealing and delightful start to the new year. Apart from tradition, traditional candies received a top rating in Hong Kong because of the historical background. Light industries were the most common business in the city from the 1950s to the 1980s. Therefore, an array of traditional candies, like different flavours and packaging, were produced to attract the children.
