It’s time to give gifts to your family and friends. But there are some taboos (禁忌) on gift giving. What are those in China? Chinese people don’t give a clock to others. A clock sounds like “zhong” in Chinese. So giving a clock is like saying “your time is up”. People will think it’s not lucky, especially for old people. ▲ Buying pears and shoes is also not a good choice. Pears sound like “li” and shoes sound like “xie” in Chinese. They are not good gifts for friends or parents because they mean something bad in Chinese. What is a good gift then? Money can be the answer! A “red envelope” (红包) with money is the best gift in China. People give red envelopes to show their love. People have a “lucky” amount of money in the red envelopes. The numbers six and eight are always the lucky numbers in China. So we must avoid giving the wrong gifts to others. 36. Why don’t Chinese people send clocks as gifts during the Spring Festival?
