5. gifts:?

Avoid giving people towels, fans, scissors and umbrellas. ?

The word "towel" in Quanzhou dialect is homophone with the word "root". As the saying goes, "the towel is cut now." After the funeral, the mourners should be given towels to "sever" the connection between the mourners and the dead. Therefore, when you give someone a towel at ordinary times, you can't help thinking of an unlucky funeral or breaking off diplomatic relations. ?

Fans only cool down in summer and are abandoned in late autumn. In Quanzhou dialect, "Fan" and "Jian" are pronounced together. As the saying goes, "send fans, don't meet each other", so it is forbidden to use "fans" as gifts. ?

Scissors always remind people of "make a clean break" and "make a clean break", which not only means that the giver breaks off diplomatic relations with the recipient, but also cannot be used as a gift. ?

It is forbidden to send clocks in some places in the north, because "bell" and "end" are homophonic. Quanzhou people do not have this taboo. In the past, when people got married, they often put the clocks given by others in a quite conspicuous place. ?

Except; Umbrellas are not suitable as gifts either. "San" and "San" are homophones in Quanzhou dialect. ?
