As the saying goes: 'If you don't send something, it will be empty if you give away money.' What's the point of not sending something?

Introduction: Each country has its own unique social customs, which is also one of the important means to distinguish itself from foreign countries. As an ancient country with a long history, etiquette has always been the etiquette we respect, and China also has unique etiquette customs. There are seven things that cannot be given as gifts. Do you know which seven?

The first one: the clock

We all know homophones. The bell and the end point in Chinese are homophones, and the end point is the end point, which means the end point, so the end point means death in Chinese. If you give someone a bell, you will think of the word finish, which is very impolite. Gifts are originally intended to wish the other party all the best, and the gift also carries their own best wishes, so friends will definitely not be happy to receive such a gift.

Second: wallet.

We usually wrap money in money, and if we give our wallet to someone else, we are considered to be sending our money. Giving up your wealth is not good for you.

While gifts deliberately highlight our sincerity, we cannot allow ourselves to be harmed. But there is a situation where you can send wallets, that is, you can send new wallets, because the new wallets are not used and their money is not going into the wallet, so there is no such statement.

Third: fish tank.

The fish tank is not only a container for raising fish, but also a feng shui layout in Chinese folk culture. The fish we eat during the Chinese New Year represents the surplus of the year, and the fish in the fish tank also represents the surplus of the surplus every year. If we give the fish tank to others, it means giving the wealth and surplus food of the family to others, which is also unlucky.

Fourth: pillows.

There is a Chinese idiom called sharing the same bed, which is a metaphor for the harmony between husband and wife. In fact, pillows represent career and love. If you give away your pillow, you're giving away your career. Of course, like the wallet, it's fine if it's a brand new pillow.

Fifth: shoes.

Also influenced by homophony, shoes and evil are homophones, so shoes mean to give evil and evil luck to friends, which is a manifestation of disrespect for each other. At the same time, shoes are used for walking, so shoes also have the meaning of walking, which is unlucky anyway.

Sixth: pears.

A homonym of pear and leaving, giving pear means separation and leaving. We usually see people bring fruit to visit sick people and since no one wants to be separated from friends, we should also avoid this fruit when giving gifts.

Number seven: candles.

Candles are usually present at funerals, and when we meet someone in our lives that dies, we also use the candle emoji to express our grief. The candle also has the meaning of sacrifice, as in Li Shangyin's poem, the candle turns grey and the tears begin to dry. Therefore, candles are not an auspicious sign, and few people send candles.

Conclusion: In fact, in addition to gifts, China has many special habits. For example, when you buy a house, you will see Feng Shui, ask someone's first name and your surname, and the answer is free.

China is a country with a long history and a long-standing culture. People's attention to this aspect has become an indispensable part of folk culture. Several of the gifts mentioned above are all because they contain inauspicious symbolism, and many people also have an attitude of preferring to have it or not believe it.
