Giving gifts is a tradition that Chinese people value. During the Spring Festival, the most common recipients are leaders and relatives and friends. Depending on the recipient, the gifts and timing are very particular. So what are the things to pay attention to when giving gifts during the 20219 Spring Festival? For more details about the 2019 Spring Festival, please visit Shuimoxiansheng.com for consultation.Things to note when giving gifts during the Spring Festival:1. When giving gifts during the Spring Festival, many people think that the more and the more expensive the gifts, the better. In fact, the form of gifts is not important, but the thought behind them. If someone gives a big gift during the Spring Festival, people will feel that the gift is too expensive and they dare not accept it, and it will also make people feel that you are being utilitarian .2. Some people give gifts out of politeness, while others give big gifts with a purpose. Gifts like these usually bring troubles and worries to people. It is not right to accept them, nor is it right to refuse them. Therefore, it is best not to give gifts that are too unacceptable or have a purpose during the Spring Festival, so as to avoid embarrassment or damage to the relationship. 3. It is best to deliver the gift in person at 7 or 8 pm to avoid disturbing others at inappropriate times . 4. When giving gifts, be careful not to make them too heavy. It is best to put them down when you enter the door and do not mention them when you leave. Everyone should know this. If it is a more expensive gift, or if you are asking for something for no reason, you should show it when you enter the door. If you need to ask someone for something, it is best to say what you want in advance and explain it when you leave. 5. Generally speaking, it is inappropriate to give a gift to only one person in a group of people in public . Because the person who receives the gift will feel like he is being bribed and fooled, and the person who does not receive the gift will feel neglected and despised. It is also not appropriate to give gifts to people you are close to in public, so as to avoid giving the public the impression that your close relationship is solely supported by material things. Only special gifts that are small in size but carry great meaning, gifts that express special emotions, are suitable for giving in public. Because at this time the public has become a witness to your sincere friendship. Such as a special souvenir, etc. 6. Be friendly and careful with your words. When giving gifts, pay attention to your attitude, actions and language. Peaceful, friendly and graceful actions accompanied by polite language are what the recipient will be happy to accept. The practice of secretly placing gifts under the table or in a corner of the room like a thief will not only fail to achieve the purpose of giving gifts, but may even have the opposite effect. 7. Giving gifts according to the person, the event and the place is one of the norms of social etiquette. The choice of gifts should also comply with this standard. The choice of gifts should be different according to the different recipients. Generally speaking, for the poor, affordability is better; for the wealthy, exquisiteness is better; for lovers, commemoration is better; for friends, fun is better; for the elderly, practicality is better; for children, enlightenment and novelty are better; for foreign guests, uniqueness is better. 8. In China, there is a common saying that "good things come in pairs", so for any big celebration or happy event, the gifts given should be in pairs rather than odd numbers . However, the Cantonese people are superstitious about the even number "4" because in Cantonese, "4" sounds like the word "death", which is unlucky . No matter how good it is, although white means purity and flawlessness, Chinese people are quite taboo about the color because in China, white is often the color of great sorrow and poverty. Similarly, black is also considered unlucky, the color of disaster, and the color of mourning. Red, on the other hand, is a symbol of happiness, peace, and celebration and is widely loved by people. In addition, Chinese people often pay attention to not giving clocks to the elderly, and not giving pears to couples or lovers, because "giving a clock" is similar to "seeing off the end", and "pear" is homophonic with "separation", which is unlucky. What are the gift-giving taboos during the 2019 Spring Festival?There is a saying in "Dream of Red Mansions": "Knowledge of the world is knowledge, and understanding of human nature is writing. " Giving gifts during the Spring Festival may seem like a small issue, as it is just about sending the gift to the person you want to give it to, but there is a lot of knowledge involved. In different contexts, you need to say different words, do different things, and give different gifts. Only when the gifts are given just right can both the host and the guests be happy. Otherwise, it may backfire, turn a good thing into a bad thing, and even cause dislike.1. Do not give a fish tank as a gift. A friend asked us to check the feng shui of his house to find out why his financial luck has been bad since he got a fish tank. It turned out that she didn't know that fish tanks, like the "God of Wealth", cannot be given or accepted casually. What's more, some people's numerology prohibits them from keeping fish, so the fish tank cannot be given away casually. When placing a fish tank, you must first consider whether it suits you, and then it depends on its shape, size, placement, height, number of fish, type, quantity, color, etc. 2. Do not give swords as gifts. Some friends like to give "peach blossom swords" to others so that they can cut off bad peach blossoms. As a result, they themselves suffer from a lot of peach blossom disasters. Some friends, when they see their relatives or friends moving or getting married or other happy events, buy a set of kitchen knives and forks as gifts for others. Strangely, their own fortunes plummet afterwards. Be careful when giving away swords. In addition, if someone gives you a sword as a gift, you should also keep it carefully. 3. You cannot send the "God of Wealth" When a friend opens a shop or starts a business, friends and relatives will give him the "God of Wealth". In fact, we tell you that from the perspective of feng shui, you should be cautious when sending the God of Wealth. Otherwise, it is very likely that your fortune will stagnate. Of course, the recipient should also pay attention. Usually, you have to go to the temple in person to invite the gods and Buddhas. You cannot invite them casually, nor can you casually accept the "God of Wealth" sent by others. Otherwise, both the sender and the receiver will have financial problems. 4. Don’t give wallets as gifts. Giving wallets as gifts usually means that you are giving your own “money bank” to others. For friends who have given wallets as gifts, think about whether you will have bad luck with money in the future. Or is there a serious financial loss? Or the money that should be collected cannot be recovered in time? So be careful when giving a wallet as a gift. Of course, it is usually fine between couples or lovers because they are physically intimate and have similar personalities. 5. Don’t give a clock as a gift. Some people say that you can’t give a clock as a gift because “clock” is a homonym for “end”, and giving a clock to someone is equivalent to hoping that person will die. Watches are also clocks. Just look at how many corrupt officials have been brought down or even lost their lives because of wearing the brand-name watches given by bribers. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
