What gifts are there for Chinese Valentine’s Day?

Qixi Festival gifts: sachets, concentric knots, combs, acacia red beans, rings, etc.

1. Sending sachets Sachets have been around since ancient times. In ancient times, they were also called bags, tassels, sachets, balls, peiwei, purses, etc.

The sachet is worn with you and given to a girl, as if you are by her side. This is the earliest romance of the ancients.

Moreover, there are often some meaningful pictures on the sachets, which may be their own appearance or natural scenery, all expressing a man's admiration for a woman.

2. Giving Tongxinknot Tongxinknot was first popular as a gift in the Northern Song Dynasty. Men gave girls Tongxinknot on Qixi Festival, which means "forever knotting together."

The concentric knot cannot be given away easily. In ancient times, once a man gave the concentric knot to the other party, it meant that he would only marry her in this life and would not marry anyone else. It showed the innocence of his feelings for her.

3. Giving combs. It is the most common situation for ancient people to give combs during the Chinese Valentine's Day.

The comb itself represents growing old together, and this profound meaning will not be given away easily.

On Chinese Valentine's Day, a man gives a woman a comb because he wants to stay with her forever.

Even in some ancient love stories, men often gave women combs as a sign of a lifelong commitment.

4. Send acacia red beans. Red beans were often called acacia beans in ancient times. You can also feel from the name that this small red bean contains endless longing.

People think that the red appearance of the acacia beans is as passionate as love, and gradually it has the meaning of representing endless affection.

5. Give a ring. Although the ring is small, it has a very high status in the hearts of ancient women. Unlike contemporary times, in ancient times, women were not allowed to wear any rings before they got married. Therefore, it can also mean that if a woman is willing to accept your gift,

The ring means that I have love for you.

It is worth mentioning that before the Tang Dynasty, it was popular for men and women to give each other rings during the Qixi Festival. Not only men gave rings to women, but women also usually returned the gift to show their acceptance.
