What does it mean to send apples on Christmas Eve?

The custom of Christmas Eve gradually spread to China, and the day before Christmas was called Christmas Eve. Before Christmas Eve, a kind of gift called "Ping An Fruit" began to pass quietly in people's hands.

It is understood that "Ping An Fruit" is imported from apple decoration, with bright colors and beautiful appearance. Most of them are red snake fruit and green snake fruit, and of course, domestic red Fuji apples are packaged as "Ping An Fruit". It is said that the "fruit of peace" symbolizes peace and harmony. The reason why "apple" is the first choice of "safe fruit" is that it takes the pronunciation of "apple".

Giving apples to each other on Christmas Eve is because people in China pay more attention to homophonic. For example, on the wedding night, red dates, peanuts, cassia seeds and melon seeds are thrown on the bed, which means "having a baby early". Apple's "ping" is homophonic with the "ping" of peace, which means that China people have the auspicious meaning of "peace" of apples, so there is a new custom of giving apples on Christmas Eve.

Sending apples means that people who send safe fruits want to receive safe fruits. In addition, the apples received on Christmas Eve must be eaten, so as to truly accept the blessings of others and be safe in the new year.
