People in the Vernacular Chinese region are especially superstitious about the even number "4". Therefore, when some friends send loose mooncakes or pack them themselves as gifts, they should never send an odd number of mooncakes, as this is also disrespectful. Taboos for sending mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival: Do not send mooncakes with poor printing Many unknown brands of mooncakes are sold in wholesale boxes and mooncakes, and some people buy boxes from outside and pack them themselves. Generally, these mooncake boxes do not have the manufacturer's logo or phone number, and most of the printing will be color-separated and relatively rough. It is better not to give this kind of mooncakes as a gift. Not to mention the packaging, it is unknown whether the mooncakes inside meet the food safety standards. If a friend eats it without noticing and becomes unwell, then friends will really become enemies. Taboos for sending mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival: Don’t give pineapple-flavored mooncakes to elders You cannot give a clock to the elderly, and you cannot give pears to couples or lovers, because "giving a clock" is similar to "sending off the dead", and "pear" is homophonic with "separation", which is unlucky. Although there is a difference between pineapples and pears, in some urban areas in southern Guangxi, the elderly do not eat pineapple-flavored mooncakes. In order to avoid this, it is recommended that you consider the object and choose the flavor appropriately. Taboos for sending mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival: Don’t be clever and switch them Chinese people pay attention to packaging. Many people have had this experience: for mooncakes of the same brand but different series, the packaging of a single mooncake is the same. Some foodies use their cleverness to pick out the flavors they like from the package and replace them with the flavors they don’t like, and then cover the package and give it away as usual. But in fact, the recipient will notice this little trick, and it is not difficult to verify. Do not have any bad thoughts because of greed, otherwise giving away mooncakes will not enhance friendship, but make others doubt your character.
