Serving and eating rice cake during Chinese New Year is an important tradition because the Chinese homonym for cake 糕(gāo) sounds like 高, means up, high or tall. During Chinese New Year, people will say auspicious phrases to one another. 步步高升 (bù bù gāo shēng) means wishing that every step you take leads you to a higher position. 快高長大(kuài gāo zhǎng dà) is usually said to children and it means wishing that you will grow big and tall quickly.
