Turtle is a traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, invigorating qi and strengthening spleen, and is regarded as a nourishing and strong food. In the traditional culture of China, soft-shelled turtle also has the meaning of good luck and longevity.

Sending turtles has the following beautiful meanings:

1. Good health and long life: Soft-shelled turtle is a symbol of long life, and its life span is generally around 30 to 60 years old. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that "a thousand-year-old tortoise is 80,000 years old", which shows its long life span. Therefore, sending turtles also means wishing each other good health and a long life.

2. Wish a smooth career: The word "A" of the turtle is homophonic with the word "Jia", which means a businessman and a rich Jia, so sending the turtle also means wishing the other party a smooth career and rich financial resources.

However, different regions have different explanations and taboos on the meaning of soft-shelled turtle. In some places, the nickname "turtle" is not very pleasant to listen to, and it is derogatory, so it is not suitable for giving as a gift to others. But that doesn't mean everyone will think so. Many people think that soft-shelled turtle is just a nourishing and strong food, and there is no special taboo or implication.

Therefore, when sending turtles to others, it is best to know each other's background and preferences first to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and embarrassment.
