For example, on the wedding night, peanuts, red dates and lotus seeds are placed under the quilt, which means "giving birth to a son soon". The “ping” in “apple” has the same pronunciation as the “ping” in “peace”, so the Chinese people attach the auspicious meaning of “peace” to apple. So there was a custom of giving apples on Christmas Eve.Giving an apple represents the sender’s blessing to the receiver for a safe and peaceful new year. Since the apples received on Christmas Eve have to be eaten, some people joke: If you like someone, give him/her an apple; if you hate someone, let many people give him/her many apples. In addition, there is also a saying that using 24 cents to buy an apple for someone you like means expressing your love.
