Why you can’t give a clock or an
umbrella to someone in china
The Chinese are very hospitable. They truly go out of their way to make their guests feel
welcome. As a result, you should try to do your best to show your appreciation. This is
how long lasting relationships are built. There is saying in Chinese, qieji liangshou
kongkong, which means “never have two empty hands.” Gift giving is a big practice in
Chinese social interaction, and it’s not out of as much social obligation as it is simple
pleasure. The Chinese sincerely do enjoy song li wu (giving gifts). As westerners are
often taught growing up that “the gift is in the giving,” the Chinese seem to take this to
heart.
In your search for gifts, steer clear of clocks and umbrellas. The term for giving a clock as
a gift would be songhzong, which sounds identical to songzhong, meaning to send
someone to their final rest. The term for giving an umbrella as a gift would be songsan,
which sounds identical to songsan, meaning to separate or disperse. Neither are
associations to share with a good friend. So if you visit your Chinese friend, don’t choose
the two things.

Bustling street, hasty steps and splashed
water, have you ever scare about being in
the rain alone? If there is an umbrella in
your pocket, no matter scorching sun or
pouring rain, everything will be better:
while walking in the crowd, it always be
with you.
