Chinese wedding gift-giving taboos
1. Don't send fans, which is homophonic and only used in summer. When the weather is cool in autumn, they will be discarded, which means they are definitely invited. No matter how expensive the fan you prepared is, you'd better not send it.
2, avoid sending mirrors, mirrors are easy to break, and if they are not broken, they will reveal the true face of people, indicating that people are ugly, so they are taboo.
3. Don't send knives. Knife is easy to hurt people, and there is an idiom "make a clean break" in Losing Face. As a wedding gift, giving someone away feels malicious, so it is taboo. Although your collection of knives is beautiful and valuable, it is not popular at Chinese weddings.
Don't send towels, because they are usually used to thank mourners for their mourning, so weddings are not welcome. Besides wool towels, wedding bedding, silk and fabrics are all acceptable.
When you get married, you can't give the green SE hat. It is considered an insult and taboo to take the green SE hat as a gift.
6, the umbrella can not be sent, umbrella and scattered homophonic, scattered is discrete, indicating bad luck.
7, good double taboo. There is a saying in China that "Men", every big celebration, the gifts you give are always double-free. Therefore, if there are multiple combinations of gifts, it is better to be even and avoid singular.
The homonym of 8 and 4 is "death", which is unlucky. Generally speaking, the number of gifts should be avoided. On the contrary, the numbers 6, 8 and 9 have better meanings.
9. Although white Se means innocence, it is taboo for China people. In China, white SE is often the SE of great compassion and the SE of poverty. Similarly, black SE is also regarded as unlucky, the SE of disaster and the SE of loss. Red is usually very popular in China.
10, the clock can't send, which is homophonic with the tail, which is unlucky. You can give your friends expensive clocks and watches on birthdays and anniversaries, but you'd better not give them at weddings.
Matters needing attention in wedding gifts
First: be careful not to bite the donkey's lips, which will make people wonder if you are using it to make up the numbers, and you are insincere.
Second: Be careful not to throw "evil" at it, which makes people wonder if you are deliberately provocative.
Third: when you get married, pay attention to whether the gift is the other person's gift. The so-called "peach for plum", "plum" and "peach" can have the same price, or they can be a little more expensive, but they must not be similar. I can't send you a crystal necklace, but I can also send her a crystal necklace back. It makes people wonder if you are an accountant. You are too calculating to be asked.
Fourth: pay attention to the gift without taste. Expensive wedding gifts are not necessarily tasteful. Don't give homemade gifts that look grand but are actually shoddy, which will make people have absolute reason to doubt your intentions.
Fifth: Pay attention to the fact that gifts have no wedding features or lack special significance. Wedding gifts must be associated with happy marriage, long-term marriage and early birth of children. Giving an irrelevant gift will make people wonder if it is a souvenir you brought back from an activity.
Sixth: Pay attention to whether the gift is the old one from a few years ago. Unless it is a classic style from a well-known brand and is talked about by people until now, you are suspected of turning out the things at the bottom of the box and giving them away.
Seventh: Be careful not to be superficial when giving gifts. There is a girl who often plays basketball. People naturally think that she likes sports-related things, but in fact, she likes to do cross-stitch in private, and she is completely a little woman. If she gets married and gives her a pair of sneakers, it will definitely make her laugh and cry. Being fond of sports is just her appearance.
Wedding gifts are essential in Chinese weddings. You need to pay attention to how to make the gift value for money and not give the wrong gift.
