What if the greeting card is written incorrectly?

If you don't send it out, make a new one. Find someone to explain it when it is sent out, and be sincere. The last thing you should do at this time is silence. Silence will only make things worse and more uncontrollable.

A greeting card is a kind of card that people greet each other when they meet a holiday date or event. People usually give greeting cards on birthdays, Christmas, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day and other days. Greeting cards usually have some words of blessing.

The origin of greeting cards:

Emperor Taizong greeted the ministers with greeting cards. Every Spring Festival and Spring Festival, from the head of state to ordinary people, he has the habit of sending greeting cards to relatives and friends. When did the greeting card, a special blessing medium, come into being, why has it spread so far, and what kind of development and changes have it experienced?

China's traditional culture attaches great importance to "ceremony", which was once the essence of China culture. Many contents in etiquette are expressed through forms, such as greeting cards. It is more convenient to give greeting cards before important personal events or public holidays. On the one hand, the form is solemn, and on the other hand, it is more convenient to inform the other party in advance. So since the Han Dynasty, greeting cards have been preserved as a traditional form, but the name has changed.

At the beginning, greeting cards were called "name cards", mainly to introduce themselves. In the Western Han Dynasty, they were called "paying homage". Today's meeting of guests is called a "famous thorn". The word "famous thorn" is still used in Japan, and it is our common business card.

Greeting cards have been used in China for a long time. In ancient times, the upper-class literati exchanged greetings with famous cards.

Hui Zhou, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said in Qingbo magazine: "In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people often stabbed people in their names." This record comes from an interesting story:

One year during the Spring Festival in Beijing, a scholar didn't want to go door to door in person, so he came up with a lazy idea. He first wrote many cards with blessings, and then ordered the servant to put a card at the door of every house he visited, knock on the door before opening the door, and then quickly slip away, so that the interviewee thought he had visited in person.

Maybe this person has been lazy again and again and leaked the news. As a result, the family rushed out as soon as they heard the knock on the door and caught the "poor" servant red-handed. This is considered as "counterfeiting".

But at that time, the circle of friends of the literati was very wide, and it took time and energy to visit everywhere. So some friends didn't go in person, but sent their servants to take a card cut with plum blossom stationery, two inches wide and three inches long, with the recipient's name, address and greeting written on it.
