Differences between Chinese and Western gifts?
1. The way to buy gifts is different. Chinese people usually buy gifts from stores near the guest’s place of residence for convenience. British and Americans like to buy gifts in – place and send them to another place. Because gifts from other places are exotic, it is good to satisfy the curiosity of the recipient. Some Chinese like gifts sent by cross-border mail, while British and American people try to avoid cross-border mail gifts to avoid inconvenience to the receiver and additional customs costs.
2. The choice of gifts is different. Chinese people give seasonal gifts during festivals. For example, moon cakes and fruits are sent during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chinese New Year gifts such as foreign wine, perfume, fruit, chocolate candy, etc. Chinese people also send money at the funerals of relatives and friends. Gifts that are common in China but rare in the West are food bought in the market (fruit, candy or other edible things). Except for funerals and opening ceremonies, flowers are not a popular gift. The gifts that Americans give at Christmas include: product samples, desk decorations, wine, drinks, special food, etc. Flowers are the most common gifts for women, suitable for almost any occasion: birthday gifts, congratulatory gifts, gifts for the hostess.
3. Gifts are given to different objects. Some Chinese people will try their best to find opportunities to give gifts to their superiors to thank their leaders or to facilitate work or promotion. Supervisors give gifts; they give gifts to the host or hostess of the guest’s house. Chinese people like to give gifts to business partners, especially when they meet for the first time. British and American subordinates should not give any gifts to their superiors, so as not to affect normal working relationships; they often give gifts to the hostess of the guest’s house.
4. Gifts are given in different ways. Chinese people give gifts with heavy weights and pay attention to the price grade of gifts. Chinese people usually don’t pay much attention to the packaging of gifts. Generally, they would rather have a smaller box than a larger one. In the United States and some other countries, people are used to wrapping with colored paper and wrapping with ribbons, and sometimes they are used to attaching a business card. This is what Hu Jing put forward in the “Practical Etiquette Course”. British and American gift-giving pays attention to the form itself. They believe that the price of a gift is not the price, but whether the gift is good for the person and gives a surprise.
5. The timing of gift-giving is different. Chinese people are very particular about giving charcoal in the snow, that is, they pay great attention to the timeliness of gift-giving. Because what you get when you need it the most is the most precious. –Generally speaking, time is precious in time or ahead of time. For example, a small New Year’s card must be given in advance, otherwise it is meaningless. Chinese people are taboo for others to give gifts just after a wedding or funeral, otherwise it will be regarded as ominous. And in Zhao Zuorong’s “Tea and Coffee”, it is mentioned that the best time for Americans and Australians to give gifts is when you arrive or leave. Americans do not recommend giving business gifts (unless it is a small gift) except on specific occasions. The Chinese like to give small gifts to business partners, especially when they meet for the first time.
