Spring Festival is coming soon, which means gift﹣giving season is also coming. Are you thinking about buying gifts for the ones you love? According to Chinese culture, there are some taboos (禁忌) on gift giving that you should remember in mind.
Chinese people usually don’t give a clock to each other. A clock sounds as “zhong” in Chinese. It means “the end”. So giving someone a clock means “your time is up”. It is unlucky, especially for old people.
If clocks aren’t OK, maybe buying some fruit is a good idea. But remember not to buy pears. A pear sounds as “li” in Chinese. That means separation. The umbrella also sounds the same as the word for separation in Chinese. Therefore, both pears and umbrellas are not good gifts.
It’s hard to choose gifts. So what is a right gift? “A red envelope” (红包) with money in it is the most popular gift in China. People give their friends red envelopes as a way to express their greetings. During the Spring Festival, the elder people will give children red envelopes to show their love.
Chinese people like to put some money inside red envelopes, the number of the money should be lucky. For example, “520” means “I love you”, “314” means “forever love”, “666”means “hoping that everything goes well for you” and “888” means “wishing you to be rich” .
9．________ may have the meaning of“separation” as gifts.
A．Pears and apples B．Clocks and apples
C．Umbrellas and clocks D．Pears and umbrellas
