Our lives are constantly changing over time. Among them, the change in the standard of gift money is a subtle indicator that reflects social changes. For many people, the gift money is not only a way to express emotions, but also a kind of social etiquette. So, compared to 10 years ago, what is the standard of your family's gift money now?
First of all, we need to understand the nature of the gift money. In Chinese tradition, Sui Li is a way to express emotions such as blessings, celebrations, and mourning. It stems from people's good wishes for their friends and family, and the desire to convey their inner emotions through gifts. The gift money is the monetary form of this wish.
Ten years ago, the gift money was generally about 100 yuan, which was the general standard in society at that time. At that time, people's economic level and living standards were relatively low, and a gift of 100 yuan was able to express people's hearts. However, with the passage of time and the development of the economy, people's income levels and living standards have increased significantly. As a result, the standard of gift money for gifts has also changed.
Now, we see that in many places, the gift money has reached hundreds of yuan, or even thousands of yuan. This is not only because people's living standards have improved, but also because people's values and consumption concepts have changed. In the eyes of many people, the gift money is not only the exchange of currency, but also a kind of emotional exchange and the maintenance of interpersonal relationships. As a result, some people will give higher gifts depending on their financial situation and relationship with the other person.
There are also people who have different views on this increase in key money. They believe that the gift money should be more important than the amount. In their opinion, even a small gift or a sincere blessing can express the most sincere feelings. A high amount of money can be a burden and even lead to unnecessary comparisons and pressure.
It should also be noted that the standard of gift money is not set in stone. It is influenced by a variety of factors such as region, culture, and Xi. In different regions and cultural contexts, there may be differences in people's understanding and practices of Sui Li. Therefore, when we look at the standard of gift money, we need to consider various factors and respect the culture and Xi of each place.
So, what is the current standard of your family's gifts? Is it to rise with the tide, or to adhere to our own values and consumption outlook, and maintain a sincere heart? Before answering this question, we need to ask ourselves: What is the purpose of our gifts? Is it to express blessings and emotions, or to meet the expectations and pressures of society?
