Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, remember the "taboo", respect the old tradition, and do nothing wrong.

When giving gifts on Mid-Autumn Festival, we should keep in mind five "taboos": not paying attention to occasions, not being sincere, not paying attention to details, not giving singular numbers, and not giving things with bad meanings.

"The moon is at sea now, and the horizon is at this time." The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. As one of the four traditional festivals in China, Mid-Autumn Festival has always been highly valued. As the festival approaches, more people visit relatives and friends. As the saying goes, people don't kiss each other until they leave. Especially the Mid-Autumn Festival, which symbolizes reunion, is a time for relatives, friends, colleagues and partners to take this opportunity to enhance their feelings.

China is a country of etiquette. Visiting relatives and friends in the Mid-Autumn Festival will inevitably bring some gifts. It is impolite to visit empty-handed, and you are also very particular about the choice of gifts. There are some taboos that must be known. If you don't understand these rules, give the wrong gift, choose the wrong occasion, or don't notice some details, it will be self-defeating. When giving gifts on Mid-Autumn Festival, we should keep in mind the five taboos, respect the old traditions and do nothing wrong.

The first taboo: gift giving is not about occasion.

If you don't pay attention to the occasion when giving gifts, good things will turn into bad things. Don't give gifts too ostentatiously, don't give gifts together, and don't give gifts in public or in front of outsiders, which will bring embarrassment to the other party.

In addition, you can tell each other in advance before you visit. Everyone has a lot of things to do during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and the time and place are determined by both parties, so as to respect others and not be too abrupt.

Gifts should not only pay attention to gifts, but also pay attention to attitude. Etiquette, the "instrument" here refers to attitude. When giving gifts, you should be natural and graceful, you don't have to bow and scrape, but you can't be arrogant.

Pay attention to the occasion when speaking during the visit, try not to talk about work-related things, and talk about some relaxed topics. If talking about work all the time leads to a dull atmosphere and no emotional greetings and exchanges, it will be difficult to make use of holiday visits to draw closer feelings.

The second taboo: don't give insincere gifts.

Mid-Autumn Festival gifts pay attention to sincerity, so that the other party really feels respected, so when choosing gifts, you should think carefully and not perfunctory. Gifts should not only pay attention to appearance, but also pay attention to quality. If the gift is rich in gold and jade, the other party will not understand your blessing, and even feel that your sincerity is lacking. This will be counterproductive, it is better not to send it.

Let's give an example: for example, food has a shelf life, so we should pay attention to whether it is fresh or not. We should avoid giving it to others when it is on the verge or overdue, which will make people feel neglected and even destroy their feelings. In addition, the packing box should pay attention to whether there are stains or damage. These details seem small, but they are enough to show sincerity.

The third taboo: giving gifts without paying attention to details

Giving gifts in Mid-Autumn Festival not only reflects people's pattern and vision, but also reflects the world. It is said that details determine success or failure, and some seemingly insignificant things, if not avoided, are easy to make mistakes with good intentions. For example, it is best not to give the same gift to different people, especially people who know each other. If it is between colleagues, it is even more embarrassing to give everyone the same gift.

Don't tear off the plastic packaging before giving gifts. Some people always want to open their gifts before sending them, but they don't know that it is difficult to recover the packaging of many gifts after opening. For example, plastic packaging seems dispensable, but it is incomplete and even makes people feel that it is not a brand-new item, which is very impolite.

However, there is one detail to pay special attention to. It's more thoughtful to take out the price tag before giving gifts. Apart from these small details, I don't know what other details you think need attention. Let's remind everyone in the comments section.

The fourth taboo: don't send things with bad meanings.

Some unlucky things can't be sent, such as watches, pears, shoes and umbrellas. In people's conventional ideas, its homophony is similar to bad words such as dispersion.

For example, the chime of clocks and watches means "death", pears mean "separation" and umbrellas are homophonic with "scattering", which are contrary to the harmonious atmosphere of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion. Even if the relationship is very good, avoid it, so as not to cause resentment from others. In addition, gifts should conform to local customs. Some things are beautiful, but they are taboo in some places. Be sure to ask before giving gifts.

The fifth taboo: don't give gifts in odd numbers.

Be sure to know each other's taboos before giving gifts, and don't violate them, so as to avoid giving gifts out of trouble. The traditional customs and taboos of giving gifts vary from place to place, so you should know how to do as the Romans do.

I remember when I was a child, whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, my mother would prepare gifts for visiting relatives and friends in advance, and every family's gifts were even, usually four or six. The reason is that we have been paying attention to the principle of "Nuo Nuo only" since ancient times. This concept is embodied in every bit of our life. The dishes prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet should be even, and the lanterns should be even.

Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a gift, but also a good blessing to each other, so don't be too casual when preparing gifts, remember to prepare even numbers, so as to be smooth and auspicious.

Gifts require reciprocity, exquisiteness and expressiveness, including friendly and auspicious wishes. A thoughtful gift can convey your thoughts and wishes well, which is worth a thousand words. What Mid-Autumn Festival gifts can't be wrong?

mooncake

As the saying goes, the moon is full on August 15th, and the Mid-Autumn moon cakes are sweet and fragrant. Moon cakes are as complete as the bright moon. People give moon cakes to each other in the Mid-Autumn Festival, which means a happy reunion, so moon cakes have become a necessary gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Moon cake is not only a kind of cake, but also a carrier of emotion. Even in the past, when people were not rich, people would give moon cakes to each other on the Mid-Autumn Festival, not only to meet the occasion, but also to express the hope that the other party and their families could reunite and be harmonious.

Since the development of moon cakes, there are many varieties and tastes. Among them, egg yolk moon cakes, five kernel moon cakes, bean paste moon cakes and so on are too numerous to mention. It would be more intimate if a box of moon cakes can hold different flavors of moon cakes, so that the moon cakes sent out will not go wrong.

wine

Mid-Autumn Festival, flowers, melons and fruits fragrance, family reunion, no wine. How can there be no wine at this time? Banquet is the atmosphere of Mid-Autumn Festival. Wine is also homophonic with the number 9, which has always been regarded as synonymous with auspiciousness, prosperity and longevity. Sending wine means good luck and good luck for a long time.

Sending wine also symbolizes that the longer the relationship between friends, the deeper it will be. Wine can be preserved for a longer time, and it will not go bad after a long time. Even after the Mid-Autumn Festival, people can't help but feel grateful and miss you. Sending wine can also bring people closer together. If we can have a few drinks, our friendship will take a big step further.

There are many kinds of wine, such as white wine, beer and red wine. The Mid-Autumn Festival brings people together, especially young people, who need atmosphere more. At this time, sparkling wine, pink wine and white wine are more suitable. These wines have a refreshing and delicate taste and are very delicious.

The rich fragrance of flowers and fruits, beautiful body color and rich small bubbles will make the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet warm and romantic. More importantly, these wines are low in alcohol content and slightly drunk, so ladies can have a drink!

As the saying goes, "all things are learned, and human feelings are practiced." Giving gifts on Mid-Autumn Festival is to make each other happy. In the final analysis, it is important to pay attention to what he likes. Let the other party think of you when they see the gift, thus enhancing family ties and friendship.

Therefore, when preparing gifts, you must not be casual, respect the old traditions, be polite and know the rules, and don't do anything wrong because of ignorance.
