With the increasing frequency of international exchanges, our curiosity about foreign cultures is also increasing. One of the most striking phenomena is the fact that foreigners make and give away small cards during festivals. Some of these small cards are colorful, some are simple and elegant, but they all carry a special emotion and blessing. So, why do foreigners make small cards for festivals? Today, let's take a look at the reasons.
1. Continuation of traditional customs.
In many countries, making and giving away small cards has become a traditional holiday custom. This custom often originated in folk culture, and gradually evolved into a way to express emotions and blessings over time. For example, in traditional Japanese culture, it is a common practice to give New Year's cards on New Year's Day. These Chinese New Year's greetings are often handmade and filled with blessings and good wishes. Over time, this tradition gradually spread to other countries and became a global cultural phenomenon.
2. A medium for expressing emotions.
Small cards are a simple medium of expression that allows people to pass on their emotions and blessings to friends and family. Compared with modern technology, small cards are more human and warm, because it requires people to choose, write and make with their hearts. In the fast-paced modern society, people are often busy with work and life, and rarely have the opportunity to calm down and express their emotions. Small cards provide an opportunity for people to express their inner world in the simplest way possible.
3. The embodiment of social etiquette.
In many cultures, giving away small cards on holidays is also a form of social etiquette. In interpersonal interactions, people need to express their gratitude and respect in appropriate ways. As a symbolic object, the small card can properly convey this emotion. At the same time, people are able to strengthen and expand their connections by giving away small cards. Because in the eyes of the person who receives the card, the act of giving the card is a manifestation of care and attention, and they often have a stronger willingness to interact because of it.
Fourth, the means of commercial marketing.
Of course, in addition to traditional customs, emotional expressions and social etiquette, small cards also play an important role in the business world. Many businesses take advantage of the festive atmosphere to promote their brands and products by making and giving away small cards. These small cards are usually printed with the merchant's logo and ** information to attract the attention of consumers. After receiving these small cards, consumers often have the urge to buy because of their exquisite design and special blessings.
To sum up, there are various reasons why foreigners make small cards during festivals. Whether it is the continuation of traditional customs, the medium of expressing emotions, the embodiment of social etiquette or the means of commercial marketing, it all shows the important position of small cards in people's lives. Through a simple small card, people can convey the most sincere emotions and blessings, and can also experience the unique charm brought by different cultures.
