What's the saying about sending some gifts? Everyone likes to contact friends who haven't been in touch for a long time by giving gifts on holidays, but giving gifts is a very particular thing, so everyone should choose carefully when giving gifts. Let me give you a brief understanding. What is the saying of sending some gifts?
What's the saying about sending some gifts? 1 1. The number of gifts is very particular. It is generally better to give even numbers than odd numbers. And the number of gifts should be auspicious, not unlucky.
2. Is it better to give 3 gifts or 4 gifts? From the point of view of odd and even numbers, it is appropriate to send four kinds of gifts, but not three kinds of gifts; However, from the moral point of view of numbers, 4 homophony sounds unlucky. Three gifts are appropriate, but not four.
To sum up, if you choose between 3 kinds of gifts and 4 kinds of gifts, it is generally more appropriate to give 3 kinds of gifts. But the homonym "three" is actually not suitable as a wedding gift. Generally, you can choose to send 2, 6 or 8 wedding gifts, which is even, which means good.
What are the taboos for giving gifts?
1, appropriate 6, 8, 9, taboo 1, 4, 7, 10.
"6" is homophonic with "Lu", which means "six, six and great harmony".
"8" homophonic "hair" You can say superstition or vanity, but it is undeniable that 8 is very popular. Look at the mobile phone card and license plate number to know whether it is necessary to add money to bring 8.
"9" and "long" are homophonic, indicating a long time. On Valentine's Day, you can send nine roses to your girlfriend.
"1"-Loneliness, China people like yes-men,1is a little lonely, so try to avoid it.
"4" homophones "death". Particularly unpopular figures in China, especially when seeing patients, should be avoided as much as possible.
"7" is homophonic "sad", but it is an upset anyway.
"10" is homophonic "lost". Ten means perfection, but it overflows when it is full. Generally speaking, people in China like to celebrate their birthdays early. Do it on your 60th birthday and 70th birthday.
2. Avoid sending towels, clocks, fans, umbrellas, shoes and swords.
"Towel" means "giving money and cutting roots". It is usually given to mourners after family members have done nothing, which means cutting off contact with the dead.
"Send a clock" means "send a clock". I don't need to say this. I understand. Don't send a clock if you don't want to die.
"Fans", fans are usually lost after they are used up in summer, so sending fans between friends will make it look like your feelings can be discarded at will.
"Umbrella" is homophonic "scattered". This is definitely not good.
"Shoes" means to send him/her away. Never send shoes between lovers. I once saw a way to crack it, saying that if I gave my partner shoes, I would give him another dollar so that he could come back by bus after he left. Of course, a little superstitious. I don't know if it's right. Just looking.
"Knife, sword" means "make a clean break" and is not suitable for friends and objects.
How many gifts do you say? Whether it's Chinese New Year or holidays, gifts are usually even, two or four. Of course, ordinary friends can give small gifts as souvenirs, even on birthdays! But you must pay attention to this even number during the holiday!
What four things can't be given as Chinese New Year gifts?
First, giving gifts to elders and the elderly is the most taboo.
People in China attach importance to homophony, and they like to please others.
Because the bell is homophonic with "final", it is a taboo in gift giving. Especially when giving gifts to elders and the elderly, never send clocks and watches, lest people think of "death" and mistakenly think that this is a curse to the elderly.
The intention of giving gifts, if misunderstood, can not only deepen feelings and enhance interpersonal relationships, but also be counterproductive, annoying and repugnant.
Second, send lovers, lovers, not pears and umbrellas.
The best gift for lovers is to wish them sweet feelings and a good marriage for a hundred years.
Even if the gift is mainly practical and has no auspicious meaning, it is understandable. But don't give gifts that suggest an unfavorable emotional marriage.
For example, in daily life, umbrellas and parasols are essential daily necessities, and the probability of upgrading is relatively high. But because the sound of "umbrella" is the same as "parting", it means parting, and it is definitely not suitable as a gift for couples and couples.
For another example, sending fruit is both practical and beautiful, and it is very common as a gift when visiting relatives and friends. But not all fruits are suitable for take-away.
If apple means peace, it can be given to almost everyone; Peach, known as longevity peach, is very suitable for the elderly; Bananas, homophonic "intersection", are beneficial to interpersonal relationships and are very suitable for giving to relatives and friends.
But some fruits are not suitable, especially pears, because "pears" and "separation" are homophonic, so they are not suitable for couples to send.
But pears are homophonic with "Li", which means separation. Don't give them to couples or couples.
Third, hats are hardly suitable for everyone.
Perhaps there were too many sayings about hats in the old society, such as filial piety hats (when an elder died, later generations asked for Dai Xiao hats, indicating that there was a funeral at home), sad hats and cuckolders (as the saying goes, a wife having an affair and cheating on others is regarded as the biggest insult to people), and so on. Therefore, even if there is a "tube hat" that symbolizes official luck, it cannot dilute the custom taboo that hats are not suitable as gifts.
Fourth, these flowers and green plants can't be given away.
The history of sending flowers as gifts cannot be said to be very long and universal. However, with the concept of green living deeply rooted in people's hearts, green plants and flowers have become the choice of many people as gifts, especially when they are happy to move to a new house, celebrate festivals or visit patients.
However, prickly green plants, such as cactus and cactus, have hidden dangers in geomantic omen and are not suitable as gifts.
Giving people chrysanthemums is even more taboo, because in people's impression, chrysanthemums are used to commemorate the dead.
