As the saying goes, "Seven things are not sent, and if you send people to scatter wealth, they are empty" What does it mean if you don't send them?Reasonable?
Chinese gift-giving culture, so-called"Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light", began to appear in ancient times, and then gradually formed a system of hospitality and gifts, becoming the main means of bonding interpersonal relationships, gifts during the New Year's holidays, and even weddings and funerals, red and white ceremonies, business celebrations, gifts are essential.
As the saying goes"Many people are not to blame"No matter how tense the interpersonal relationship is, it can be alleviated by gift-giving, so the atmosphere of gift-giving has continued to this day, in a period of continuous improvement and change, and even some rules have appeared, and people need to pay attention to what gifts to give when giving gifts. In the concept of aborigines, giving different gifts has different meanings, and even affects their fortune and brings bad luck, so it is often said:"If you don't give a seven-point gift, those who give it will be empty"。After all, there is no credibility?
The first is the wallet, the wallet here mainly refers to two kinds, the first is the empty wallet, although the use rate of cash in today's society is relatively low, the wallet is often used to store documents and bank cards, so the frequency of use is also relatively high, but because of this, the wallet is often used as a gift to give people.
But many people don't pay much attention to this when giving away, they directly buy an empty new wallet to give to a friend, in fact, this was very unlucky in the past, because in the past there was no other place to store money except the wallet, so the money bag was just their own"Xiaobao"Sending an empty wallet directly is a big deal"Break the bank"Meaning.
In order to avoid this bad implication, they now tend to put a piece of paper or some small banknotes to insert, so that they will be empty and rich. In addition to an empty wallet, you can't give away your own used wallet, because the wallet represents your own wealth, and giving your own wallet is giving your wealth to others. Of course, this is a gift between friends, but there is no such taboo of wealth in the family, so we should be more cautious when giving wallets to others.
The second type of gift that cannot be given is related to happiness and wealth. In fact, many people now like to give a dry branch when a friend opens a store to wish a friend a prosperous business, but in fact, this kind of gift cannot be easily given. As we all know"Fortune God"with"Door God"、"Furnace God"It's the same kind of god.
Therefore, whether it is a New Year's festival or an open door, it cannot be used"Buy"words, and should be used"Please"word, and in person"Please", not casually"Please"so that it can become"Fortune God"。Moreover,"God of Wealth"It has the function of accumulating wealth, and if you give the God of Wealth to yourself, it means that you give the God of Wealth to yourself along with others, which means that there is a great sense of self-destruction. So,"Please God of Wealth"If you really have this kind of thought, you must bring your friends in person, even if you pay for it yourself in the end, you must not buy potted plants yourself.
The third type of gift that cannot be given even if there is a fish tank is the fish, which is the most important mascot in the workplace, and various symbols such as the red arowana, which symbolizes disaster relief, will often appear at home"The dragon spits out the beads"of"Silver Arowana"It will often appear in the position of wealth. Therefore, it is also very common for fish to be given as a gift, but certainly not fish in a tank, which carries a rather sinister symbolism of wealth, so be careful.
In addition to gifts containing money, there are also gifts that affect family harmony and personal development, and this fourth type of gift cannot be given"Bells"Actually, this is also what many people see, this is the ancient place of harmony, the so-called"Bells"It's just so-called"Bells"It's not just about time, it's about it"Finale"meaning.
Because the average age of ancient people was not high, death was a topic that people never wanted to talk about, and this kind of moral is"Finale"The gift is certainly the biggest taboo, even in"Bells"The gift was crowned"Clock"After that,"Bells"The gift was later marked with great ridicule, so until now it cannot be given to anyone at will.
Actually, the original meaning of this gift was:"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", but later"Shoes"There it is"Evil"The meaning of often worn on the feet to step on the mud, it is considered a bad symbol. Over time, shoes are considered to be"**"with"Filth"In ancient times, shoes could not be given away casually, because giving them away would affect the further development of others.
The sixth type of gift that cannot be given is also controversial, and that is:"Pillows"In fact, in the earliest days, some students usually used pillows as gifts because pillows contain"Sit back and relax, smooth sailing"meaning, but then the meaning of the pillow changed.
Later, people gave pillows to couples, which was very wrong, because pillows are not only"Sit back and relax"meaning, and more"Share a bed"There may be a sense of challenging the relationship between couples, but people will inevitably have such thoughts, maybe the giver does not have such thoughts, but the recipient will inevitably not think like this.
Therefore, a pillow as a gift will cause family conflicts, and you should also pay attention to it when giving gifts, and finally give gifts can not be revenge, but also have a couple or husband and wife affection, these are"Umbrellas"In fact, it is to give an umbrella, this behavior is also common in today's rainy days, of course, this is not a gift, there is no umbrella, many people like to share their favorite items on rainy days, but also a gesture. On rainy days, many people like to share an umbrella with their favorite person'Hold an umbrella together'。"""Divide a handful"means"Share:"。
In the past, though, sending an umbrella meant"Block the door", this practice undoubtedly implies a curse on the couple's or conjugal affection, and the cushion is a gift that causes family disputes.
So, while gift-giving is a common phenomenon today, it's important to be cautious when choosing gifts. These seven ancient taboos on gift-giving may seem pedantic and ridiculous today, but good wishes and expectations are indisputable facts.
