The Points You should Know About the Culture of Gift in China
China, a country has a long history and profound culture, is really worthy of notice for it has already draw more attention from the world.
Today, let's talk about the gifts in Chinese culture.
Chinese people have their own culture when it comes to giving relatives or friends gifts.
First, you should remember that no matter which gifts you send, you had better not send clocks, particular on some significance days such as someone's birthday, because in Chinese people's mind the pronunciation of 'clock' resembles termination, which means death.
Don't send books to those people who are frequent players in races because the pronunciation of 'book' resembles the sound of 'loss'.
You should also know that don't send pears to couples or newlyweds, because the pronunciation of 'pear' resembles depart.
Chinese people rather the ever numbers than the odd numbers, because they believe that good things should be in pairs. Actually, with the development and open to outside of China, modern Chinese don't seem mind them so much, and you just judge it depend on the different occasions.
I think for the modern people the gifts with traditional culture will be meaningful. For example, you can send pair of tiger shoes to the babies because most tiger shoes were hand-made, and mean the tiger would scare away ghosts.
Chinese knots, tiger pillows are all OK to as special gifts.
If you are a foreigner, you will be awkward when your friend says 'You need not to buy anything when you come here' or 'Keep it to yourself, I have a lot of these'. When you meet this situation, don't be surprised. This is Chinese people's habit. What you need to do is to insist on him receiving the gift.
Another thing you should not mind is that Chinese people would not like to open your present immediately, because they think it is not impolite to open the present in front of you. Of cause, they will open it after you left.
Don't worry too much when you visit Chinese friends or family, in fact, Chinese people are very warm to guest.
