Matters needing attention in purchasing Dragon Boat Festival gifts

1, no shoes.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, if you want to give gifts, you'd better ask the old people before buying them. The reason is that different gifts represent different meanings and contain different meanings. During the Dragon Boat Festival, many people will buy shoes according to other people's preferences. Although shoes cater to others' appetite, the implication of shoes is really bad. As we all know, the homonym of shoes is "evil", which means evil, evil heresy and so on. Therefore, even if the shoes are suitable, don't give them away casually.

2. Don't send clocks.

On Dragon Boat Festival, the younger generation will give gifts to the younger generation. For men, having a fashionable clock is naturally very happy. However, no matter what kind of watch it is, everyone will definitely think of clocks and watches. The "bell" here is also homophonic. It means "death" Therefore, on the Dragon Boat Festival, people will be very angry if their elders receive watches. Isn't this death?
