"Five things are not given away, and future generations will always be rich", these five things must not be given away at will, not superstition
The mainland has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and it is inevitable that the issue of gift-giving will be involved in the process of dealing with people. And gifts are not chosen at random, before giving gifts, it is best to ask the other party's preferences, according to the preferences of the gift so as not to be rejected by the other party, and at the same time can also make the other party feel their own heart. If you really don't know what to give, you can also give some public gifts, such as: cigarettes, wine, tea, etc., these things can definitely be regarded as hard currency.
But it should be reminded that not everything can be given as a gift, and some things should never be given as a gift. If you give it away, it will not only upset the other person, but also worsen the relationship between you. The older generation often says: "Five things are not given away, and future generations will always be rich", these 5 kinds of things must not be given away at will, which 5 kinds are they? Let's move on.
Old clothes.
Many people will have old clothes at home, and the best way to dispose of such old clothes is to throw them away, but some people feel that it is too much pity to throw them away during the holidays, so they will pick out the better clothes and give them to relatives and friends. However, this is not recommended for everyone to try, because everyone has no shortage of clothes at home, and if you give old clothes to others, people may mistakenly think that you look down on them.
Swords and sharp weapons.
Sword weapons can be regarded as a very common thing in ancient times, but due to the continuous strictness of the security system, many places have stopped sword weapons from appearing in life, after all, these sword weapons themselves have certain potential dangers, even if their craftsmanship is unavoidable. At the same time, we can't give this kind of sword weapon as a gift to friends and relatives, in case they misunderstand it, it will be difficult to explain.
Beast paintings.
For some friends who like calligraphy and painting, their homes usually collect some rare paintings, and these paintings include beasts, flowers and plants, mountains and rivers, etc. But this kind of hanging painting must not be taken out at will to give away, especially if it contains a fierce beast hanging painting, it is necessary to pay attention to it, if the other party itself does not like to hang the painting, seeing this kind of fierce beast hanging painting will mistakenly think that you have bad intentions, and even make the relationship between you worsen.
Clock.
In Western culture, clocks and watches represent respect and cherishment, and they usually give them to their loved ones. It means that they are as precious to themselves as time, and they are willing to spend time and thought on them. But this argument will not work in China, because the "clock" in the clock is homophone with the "end" of the pension and the end, and if the clock is taken out and given away, it may cause misunderstanding.
Antiques of unknown origin.
Everyone has their own hobbies, and some people's hobbies are more popular, they like flowers and plants, cats and dogs. Some people's hobbies are relatively niche, they like antique calligraphy and painting, mountain climbing and wild travel. In order to give gifts that interest the other party, we can also understand the other party's preferences in advance before giving gifts, and if the other party likes antiques, we can also give them this kind of things. However, it is necessary to remind everyone that you must not send antiques from unknown sources, which may bring bad luck and misfortune to people.
