If you want to learn more about the relevant content, please check out the 2019 Chinese New Year special topic compiled by Mr. Shuimo’s website!What gift should I give to my mother-in-law during the 2019 Spring Festival?1. Jade: Most women prefer jade. Middle-aged women in particular like this.Jade has five virtues: benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity. The beauty of jade is obviously different from that of diamonds and colored gemstones. The beauty of diamonds lies in its hardness, clarity and brightness, the beauty of colored gemstones lies in its gorgeousness and variety, and the beauty of jade lies in its delicacy, warmth, subtlety and elegance. It is the favorite decoration of middle-aged women. 2. Clothes: No matter how old women are, they all like to buy clothes, so choosing a suitable and beautiful piece of clothing for your mother-in-law is a good choice. 3. Red envelope is the most suitable gift. Just give the middle-aged people what they like. They can go shopping for themselves, which is the best gift. 4. Health-preserving equipment : Middle-aged and elderly people are prone to lumbar spondylosis, periarthritis of the shoulder, etc. You can consider giving them health-preserving equipment, which is also a heartwarming gift. I believe your parents will be able to feel your kindness. 5. Tea: If your parents don’t drink alcohol, and there is no custom in your hometown to send wine to their home for the first time, then you can bring some good tea, such as West Lake, Longjing, or Tieguanyin. China attaches great importance to tea culture, and tea is also a symbol of health and wellness. What are the taboos and etiquette for giving gifts during the Chinese New Year?1. Clocks"Zhong" and "zhong" are homophones, so "sending a clock" will make the elderly think of "sending off the end", which is very unlucky. 2. Pear fruit is one of the most common gifts when visiting relatives and friends. But some fruits are not suitable, especially pears, because "pear" is homophonic with "separation", which means separation. Therefore, it is not suitable to give it to couples or lovers. Instead, you should give couples or mandarin duck ornaments, rose crystals and other items. 3. Shoes "Shoes" is homophonic with "evil", and shoes are stepped on, so except for your family members, you should generally not give shoes to others. But there are some exceptions. According to the customs in some places, when a Feng Shui master chooses a Feng Shui site for his home, he needs to step on the ground carefully in order to get its good luck connotation, so a pair of "ground-stepping shoes" is specially given to the Feng Shui master. 4. Umbrella “Umbrella” sounds the same as “scatter”, which means separation and is disliked by people, so umbrellas are regarded as unlucky gifts. 5. Fans are only used in summer and are thrown away in the cool autumn weather. This is considered heartless and is commonly known as "giving a fan means no return of favor", so they are unpopular. 6. Knives, swords and other sharp weapons are easy to hurt people, and there is a saying that "one knife can cut off all ties". Using them as gifts may have the bad association of severing the relationship between the two parties, so they are generally not given as gifts. 7. Hat: There is a saying in the folk saying that “a hat of sorrow” means that when an old person dies, the filial son should wear a mourning hat, so it is taboo to give the hat to others. Especially green hats are a big taboo when giving gifts. Wearing a green hat refers to a wife's infidelity, and giving someone a green hat is the greatest insult to that person. 8. Mirror “Mirror” is homophonic with “jinzi”, and mirrors are easily broken, so they are also taboo items for gifts. |
