Definition
团圆 (tuán yuán) means 'to have a family reunion', especially during traditional festivals like Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. It emphasizes the family unit coming together, unlike 团聚 (tuán jù), which is a more general reunion of any group (friends, colleagues, etc.). 欢聚 (huān jù) and 联欢 (lián huān) focus on joyful gathering and celebration, not necessarily family.
