The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. As the traditional "four major festivals" in China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion and celebration, and it is also a day for vagrants to return home to celebrate their reunion.

It is inevitable to visit relatives and friends and visit elders during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Gifts must be prepared, because China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. It is also a kind of respect for the other party to visit relatives and friends and bring some gifts to express their wishes. However, giving gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a very particular thing. Remember that "5 gives and 4 doesn't give" so that you can express your thoughts, and it also means that people who spend a good month will last for a long time.

Five Kinds of Gifts Suitable for Mid-Autumn Festival

First, send wine

Wine can be drunk by oneself or preserved and collected. The Mid-Autumn Festival gives wine to the elders, which is homophonic with the meaning of "long time", and has the meaning of wishing the elderly a long and healthy life. Every traditional festival is the golden sales period of major wine companies, but the purchase of liquor is to identify these three points:

1, choose pure grain wine: pure grain wine is the traditional liquor brewed by solid-state fermentation, which can be seen from the national standard GB/T on the liquor label. For example, the solid-state brewing method of Maotai-flavor liquor is GB/T26760, and the solid-state brewing method of Luzhou-flavor liquor is GB/T 1078 1. Look for this when choosing liquor.

2. Choose the products of well-known liquor companies: There are many liquor companies in China, including national well-known liquor companies and local famous products. When purchasing liquor, you should choose well-known brands, because the quality of such liquor is trustworthy, and the recipients can understand their own thoughts.

3, send double but not single: when visiting relatives and friends to send people white wine, pay attention to send double but not single, if the bottle is not sincere enough, but also inconsistent with the theme of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.

Second, send fruit

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the season when all kinds of seasonal fruits are on the market. If you visit relatives and friends, you will be showered with some, which will show you face and know manners. Several fruits with good meanings in Mid-Autumn Festival:

1, grapefruit: grapefruit is the first choice for many people to give gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival, because grapefruit is not only rich in nutritional value, but also homophonic with "You", so it has the meaning of blessing the whole family for a long time.

2. Grapes: Grapes are the seasonal fruits of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Clusters of grapes look perfect and happy, and many people like to use grapes for the moon on August 15, so many places like to bring a box of grapes when visiting relatives and friends.

3. Pomegranate: Pomegranate is also a seasonal fruit listed in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Because pomegranate has many seeds, it has the meaning of many children and many blessings, so it is also very suitable as an auspicious fruit for relatives and friends.

Third, moon cakes

Mid-Autumn Festival is the peak season for traditional holiday food mooncakes. Even if you visit relatives and friends without anything else, carrying a box of mooncakes can be regarded as a gift for the occasion.

When buying moon cakes, there is no need to buy some high-end packaged moon cakes. After all, what is important now is rational consumption, and buying moon cakes is much more important than saving face.

Fourth, send crabs

The custom of eating crabs in Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history, because crabs are the fattest in this season, and crabs are homophonic with "thank you". Sending crabs in Mid-Autumn Festival has the meaning of expressing gratitude.

The Mid-Autumn Festival crab delivery should follow these two points:

1, crabs should be given in pairs: the tradition of China people pays attention to being in pairs, so when giving crabs to people, they should pay attention to giving them in pairs instead of giving them a bill.

2. Ensure the freshness of crabs: Dead crabs rot and deteriorate quickly, which can easily lead to food poisoning if eaten carelessly. Therefore, fresh crabs should be chosen to send crabs to people during the Mid-Autumn Festival, among which the survival time of river crabs and hairy crabs is longer than that of swimming crabs, so it is best to choose fresh water live crabs when sending crabs to distant relatives and friends.

Five, send tea

Seven things to open the door "rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea", tea is the second largest drink in the world after water. Drinking tea and tasting tea can not only quench your thirst and moisten your throat, but also taste it to make people feel quiet.

Tea belongs to the original ecological health drink. Many people don't like smoking and drinking now. They like to taste tea to cultivate their sentiment and feel the tranquility and enjoyment brought by tea. Therefore, it is a good holiday gift to give some palatable tea to their elders or relatives and friends in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn Festival gifts "5 don't send"

First, send cigarettes

"Smoking is harmful to health" is a well-known thing. Although some people just can't help themselves in life, don't send cigarettes when visiting their elders in the Mid-Autumn Festival, because cigarettes are homophonic with "chimneys", which is taboo for the elderly.

Second, don't send beyond your ability.

Giving gifts to elders, relatives and friends is mainly to express one's mind, and giving gifts should be measured. If it exceeds one's ability, it is best not to do the thing of "punching one's face and filling one's fat body". After all, it's easy and hard.

Third, the fruit with bad homophonic sound

Pears and plums are homophonic with "parting". Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion, which is particularly inappropriate for sending "parting". People who pay attention to it will especially mind.

Fourth, gifts should be in pairs

People in China pay the most attention to etiquette, especially when giving gifts in pairs. If you go to your elders and relatives' homes, you'd better prepare "four kinds of gifts" or "two kinds of gifts", and you must never give gifts in odd numbers, because the Mid-Autumn Festival pays attention to reunion and celebration, and it will make people very unhappy to give gifts.

It is necessary to visit relatives and friends and elders in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also necessary to bring some gifts to relatives and elders. However, when giving gifts, we should bear in mind that "five for free and four for no", which means that the other party's family reunion will last for a long time, and it is better not to give gifts with bad homophonic and taboo.
