Reading guide:From ancient times to the present, the Chinese pay special attention to the way of gifts, every festival to give gifts, thank the benefactor to give thanksgiving gifts, wedding banquets to send wedding gifts, the Spring Festival as the biggest festival of the year, the gifts are also the most exquisite. Although the Spring Festival gifts, regardless of the high and low, give gifts with good meaning and bright colors, many elderly people will like them very much. But there are some gifts, which have bad connotations, and if you give these things to the old man, the old man will feel that you are cursing him, and he will speak ill of you behind the backs of many people, so in the folk, some old people who know how to count etiquette often say: "3 New Year's Day is not sent, and the people and wealth are empty", what do you not send 3? New Year's gifts must be respected, don't do bad things with good intentions!
Type 1: No shoes
Some people with filial piety like to give gifts in the New Year, giving some more practical things, such as clothes, shoes, etc., which many people like to give. In fact, it is okay to give one or two pairs of shoes to the elders in normal times, but during the Chinese New Year, it is best not to send them, because the "shoes" and "evil" of shoes are homonyms, and giving shoes will lead to no good luck in the new year. There is also a layer of meaning to send shoes, shoes have the meaning of going farther and farther, sending shoes, indicating that the relationship will become more and more estranged, so it is best not to send it during the New Year, usually see the elders shoes broken, we send them in time, so that they can get their praise.
The second type: do not send the clock
Although many young people don't like clocks now, but in rural areas, clocks are indeed the main thing for the old people to see the time, and the clock is too long, it will not go long or consume electricity very fast, and someone will send him a clock during the Chinese New Year. In fact, clocks and watches are the most unacceptable gifts during the Chinese New Year. Because the homonym of "sending the bell" is "sending the end".After sending a clock, the elders will leave us on the surface, and some old people are very taboo about this, so during the Spring Festival, when we see that the old man's clock is broken, we can indirectly give some money and let him buy one by himself, and explain the reason why we don't buy him a clock, and we will definitely get their understanding.
The third type: do not send a wallet
In the new year, everyone hopes that they have good fortune and can gather their wealth in their own homes, so when giving gifts for the New Year, it is best not to give a wallet to anyone, because the wallet is a tool for loading money, it represents the fortune of a person's wallet bulging, it means that the wealth is prosperous, if the wallet is given to others, it is equivalent to giving the fortune to others, resulting in no financial luck in the new year, so in order to have their own good fortune, the wallet must not be sent indiscriminately.
Every year during the Spring Festival, I will also send various gifts to the elders in the family, over the years of experience, I have found that some gifts are particularly practical, usually when I go home, I will also find that they will be used, and will also tell me that I have to give these things to pass a lot of time for them! For example, these 4 kinds of gifts are all recommended by me!
The first type: electronics
Electronic products are my favorite things for the elderly, and they are also the gifts that many elderly people particularly like, such as smart radios, mobile phones, movie consoles, smart watches and other electronic products, we can give them the same according to the things of the elderly, and teach them how to use them, they will be very happy. For example, I gave a smart watch to my uncle last year, and in one year, I can tell my family in time about anything, and my children who work outside are not as worried as before.
The second type: health food
After the age of 50, people will learn to maintain health, and only hope that they can live a long life, so we can send some healthy food to the elderly, such as sending some calcium tablets to the elderly, which can increase the hardness of bones, sending some ejiao to female elders, which can replenish qi and nourish blood, and can also send some sesame paste, lotus root powder, water chestnut powder and other foods that can be drunk at ordinary times, all of which they like.
The third type: exercise equipment
When people reach middle and old age, regular exercise has the effect of improving immunity and prolonging life, so exercise equipment can also be used as a New Year's gift to the elders. For example, spinning tops, badminton rackets, handball balls, and ** equipment are all exercise equipment suitable for the elderly. Don't send exercise equipment that requires a lot of effort, and if something happens, his family may blame you.
Fourth: warm clothing
Warm clothes are also a particularly good New Year's gift, when you choose warm clothes, try to choose cotton, less choose down, because older people, walking is easy to slip, if it is cotton clothes, there is a cushioning effect when falling, if it is down, thin clothes are not buffered, for safety, try to send cotton.
