A night is coming.
Apple's "dress" quietly conveys the blessing of "peace".
The day before Christmas is called Christmas Eve. Before Christmas Eve, a kind of gift called "Ping An Fruit" began to pass quietly in people's hands.
It is understood that "Ping An Fruit" is imported from apple decoration, with bright and beautiful colors, mostly red snake fruit and green snake fruit. Of course, there are also domestic red Fuji apples packaged as "Ping An Fruit". It is said that the "fruit of peace" symbolizes peace and harmony. The reason why "apple" is the first choice of "safe fruit" is that it takes the pronunciation of "apple".
It is said that fruit merchants dressed as "safe fruits" were inspired by young people. At the beginning, some young people bought one or two imported apples, then took them to the gift shop for packaging, and prepared to give them to their good friends as gifts on Christmas Eve. This "business opportunity" was immediately captured by shrewd businessmen.
Most people who are interested in this new thing are teenagers. They all think it is worthwhile to give a friend a "safe" gift with 5 yuan money. It seems that Christmas Eve is quietly conveying the "fruit of peace" in people's hands, and it is also conveying a beautiful blessing.
However, it is said that the custom of sending Christmas fruits on Christmas Eve is unique to China.
Because people in China pay more attention to homophones, such as putting peanuts, red dates and lotus seeds under the quilt on their wedding night, which means "early (jujube) gives birth to a precious child".
Christmas Eve is Christmas Eve, Christmas Day is 65438+February 25th, and Christmas Eve is the night of 65438+February 24th.
Apple's "Ping" and Ping 'an "Ping" are homophonic, which is the auspicious meaning of Apple's "Ping" in China.
So there is a custom of sending apples on Christmas Eve.
Those who send apples on behalf of others wish those who receive the fruits peace and security in the new year.
Note: the apples received on Christmas Eve are to be eaten! !
