Ordinary people certainly wouldn't make such a decision. Banquet is a big expense, and many people point to receiving gifts at the banquet to make money. A banquet that does not accept gifts is equivalent to losing money directly. Ordinary people wouldn't do such a thing. Not because they want gifts, but because the economic conditions at home do not allow it.
This kind of banquet, snail jun also had the honor to experience. At that time, the host of the banquet was very rich at home; When celebrating the birthday of the elderly, there is no preparation for receiving gifts, so that many people want to accompany the gifts but can't find a place. Not only that, one person at the banquet table also has a pack of cigarettes and a red envelope of 100 yuan.
People who have attended this kind of banquet will be full of praise when they mention this family. This scene is very similar to the banquet in Fujian. Personally, I guess Fujian does not accept gifts, but also gives each person a pack of Chinese cigarettes for the following reasons.
First, my family is very rich, and I don't care about the amount of gifts. There are many banquets in Fujian with high specifications. To outsiders, such a banquet is extremely luxurious. Many news of bride price and tens of millions of dowry come from here. For such a rich family, when hosting a banquet, you naturally don't care about the gift money you receive.
The wealth of the family makes the host think that receiving gifts will affect the mood of relatives and friends who come to dinner. I don't care about these gifts. Instead of adding to people's lives, it is better not to accept gifts, let the guests come to dinner happily, and then leave with a smile.
Being able to do this has a lot to do with my family's strong financial resources. Not to mention the huge expenses of the banquet, a pack of Chinese cigarettes per person is not a small expense. In my hometown, although China's cigarettes are used at banquets, they are limited to a table and a pack of cigarettes; Divided equally, one person can get two cigarettes, and one person can't get a pack of such heroic scenes.
Second, the host family is hospitable. Compared with the gift money, I care more about the lively and pleasant atmosphere of the banquet. After the host family has money and a hospitable temperament, it is very likely that they will do things like not accepting gifts. The owner who has such an idea will not distinguish between dividends and white things in the matter of not accepting gifts; For them, nothing can be done as long as they are willing.
The red event is a joyous and auspicious event, which has the feeling of "amnesty for the whole world" and "celebrating with the whole world" in ancient times. Friends who want to attend the wedding banquet can come happily; Compared with the number of gifts they give, the host family prefers to hear auspicious words of blessing from them. If it's a white matter, it's to thank relatives and friends for coming to help, to send their loved ones off for the last trip, and to make them go lively and beautiful.
After the rich don't care about money, their pursuit will be different from that of ordinary people, and it is reasonable to be able to do such a thing. This kind of thing, in ordinary families, can't be plain, which is also very normal.
Personal opinion: The more feasts, the better. Mr. Snail is an ordinary person and a layman. Every year before and after the National Day and the Spring Festival, it is the most worrying stage. During these two periods, you can always receive "red bombs" from relatives and friends; The record is the highest. On the eve of National Day, I got a month and a half's salary in advance for giving gifts.
In human society, each of us will participate in a large number of banquets in our lives. Whether we are happy or not, these banquets are indispensable; Many times, even if you can't be present, you need to follow the "no one has arrived."
I think there is no one who doesn't like such a banquet in Fujian. You can witness the happy events of relatives and friends, eat and drink for free, and take a pack of good cigarettes with you when you leave. The more such parties, the better. For us, we will lose time to attend the banquet, but for the host family, we will lose time to have fun and celebrate.
Have you ever had such a wonderful thing as taking a gift home without receiving it?
