After registration, it was still crowded, and there was another "gateway" ahead - gift giving.
I don't know since when, a "gift trend" has arisen in the three realms. That is, when there is something happy, relatives and friends will bring more or less gifts to the banquet to congratulate them. Originally, giving gifts and money was the "icing on the cake" to wish good luck.
Whether it is the main house or
The guests were very happy, but as the "trend" continues, the issue of "receiving and giving gifts at banquets" has become extremely controversial in recent years. In the world, there are often greedy, despicable and shameless people who make a name for themselves and use various trivial reasons.
A banquet is held specifically to receive gifts. The most popular
In the beginning, the giving and receiving of gifts at banquets often only appeared at wedding banquets or family members' birthdays. But gradually, the trend of "giving and giving gifts" developed to the time when children were one month old, and banquets were held to rush for scientific examinations. Later, it was also included on the birthdays of building houses and beams.
Reasons for getting together, and eventually even domestic dogs giving birth to puppies
, ridiculous excuses like sow pregnancy, they really do anything to receive gifts. Invitees have to endure endless "biting (invitation) appointments", which is embarrassing and burdensome. Exactly: the old dog at home gives birth to puppies, and a banquet is held
Send a post to invite friends; friends have always cheated friends, and the full moon will come again to take a bite.
When it comes to giving and receiving gifts for happy events, there is a reason for its existence, or its emergence. Before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, mortals were in poverty and life was difficult. It was difficult for a single person (single tribe) to stand alone. If there was a big event, relatives and friends needed to be invited to help. Help cannot be in vain.
Of course, you should be grateful for your help. Even if you don’t give me valuable gifts, you should at least take care of a meal. It’s still hard to live alone.
It was difficult for them to hold a big banquet, so they could only help relatives and friends bring their own ingredients, gather together at the host's house, and enjoy together. Bringing gifts to banquets is both a "propriety" and a "reason". Everyone's life is very hard, and there is no need to
I dare not have the opportunity to "eat and drink indulgently", but taking advantage of happy events to eat and drink a lot can be regarded as "forcing myself" to enjoy luxury.
According to the "Sanqing Magazine", most of the first banquets of the human race were victory banquets in tribal wars, and there were also gifts, which were compensation for the losers, offerings to the fearful, and congratulations to the alliance. After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, large gathering areas of the human race were established. In addition to tribal wars,
The wedding banquet appeared again. There is also a saying about the ceremony of this banquet. The newlyweds need daily necessities for starting a family. Parents may not be able to easily arrange it. Relatives, friends and neighbors
Come to the banquet, send congratulatory gifts, one for each person, accumulate small gifts, and everyone collects firewood. The newlyweds will have the foundation to start a business. This is actually to help the parents of the host family relieve their temporary worries; in the future, the children of the neighbors will get married, and then
Giving gifts in return can alleviate the temporary difficulties of the neighbors... In the final analysis, the power of the wedding banquet is to share the temporary difficulties of the family with relatives and friends, to take care of each other and help each other.
The Xuanwu clan has a great cause, so of course they don’t want any "gifts". Everyone who comes is a guest, and they are all giving face, so there is no need to give gifts. But sometimes, the master doesn’t want to accept them, but someone is eager to give them. The former Royal Family of Ten Thousand Beasts
, the current hometown of Emperor Xuanwu, although the Xuanwu clan is low-key,
But today's power is still the upper echelon of the Three Realms, far surpassing the Phoenix, White Tiger, and Qilin tribes, and even compared with the Dragon tribe. Such a big family with hands and eyes, of course, has many immortals and gods who are closely friends with each other.
I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to send it out in a fair and justifiable way.
I want to "honor" the Xuanwu clan with some good things and leave a good impression, and then...you know. Furthermore, giving gifts is also about comparison, giving each other face. If I do something good and you give me a good gift, then of course I can't lag behind if you do something good.
In this way, each other will gain face and get closer to each other.
.Finally, gift-giving is actually a beautiful thing that attracts the limelight. It’s the Ten Thousand Years’ Celebration, when all the immortals gather together. It would be such a shame to bring out something good and shock the whole audience on such a big occasion. The Jade Emperor likes to hold banquets and attend banquets.
One of the reasons is because I like to be in the limelight.
"Zhenying, what are you giving me?" Swing asked, "If Brother Lianhua doesn't come, you must take his share with you."
Emperor Xuanwu is the top military officer and Nezha's boss. Even if the third prince doesn't come, he still has to give gifts. Li Zhenying said: "The third brother's gift was brought by his father. I guess we won't know until the official date. Mine is just a box of ordinary things."
The dirt between.”
"Mortal soil?" the little fox thought for a while, "The terrain is uneven, and a gentleman carries his wealth with kindness. Emperor Xuanwu was a strong man and at the same time relatively low-key. He always dedicated himself to the beings of the three realms, helped the suffering in the end, and was generous and benevolent.
, he is indeed a gentleman. A box of soil is not bad."
"It's a pity." Birdman said, "It's a pity that his descendants are not decent and have caused a lot of trouble. Otherwise, Emperor Xuanwu would be called a perfect man."
Zhang Junbao said: "Blood ties are the bonds between heaven and earth. The bonds are not only a thing that traps people, but also the virtue of working together. The great emperor became the sixth emperor because of the kindness of his mother, so he should naturally be burdened by his descendants."
"Oh, that makes sense." Zhuqian said, "Brother Junbao is indeed a monk, and what he says is better than what he sings."
The little fox didn't know whether it was a compliment or a curse. After saying it, he burst into laughter. Crow and Zhang Junbao looked at each other and quickly laughed together.
Li Zhenying stared at Crow, Little Fox and Zhang Junbao, and was quite confused. "This must be the first time they met, right? How come their relationship is so good?" Although she was confused, she didn't ask more questions. "Sister Swing Qian"
, what are you giving me? Do you want me to prepare some gifts?"
"I hate it. Do you look down on me?" said the little fox. "My father and I have already thought about it." She took out a few pieces of broken turtle shells from her bag, "How about this thing? It's not bad.
Gave it to them."
"!!!" Seeing the swing carelessly taking out the tortoise shell fragments, Li Zhenying and the people around her turned green on the spot. I have never heard of anyone who would dare to use the remains of relatives and friends of the master as gifts during a happy event.
Aren't you looking for trouble?
The tortoise shell is the remains of the Xuanwu tribe. "Sister Swing! Don't, don't, don't! Take it back quickly!" Princess Li quickly asked the little fox to stuff the things back into the bag before the Xuanwu tribe found the tortoise shell, "This won't work!
This is absolutely not okay!”
"Why can't this work?" Birdman said, "How wonderful. This thing is used as medicine. It is a great tonic. My girl and I stewed this stuff at home several times. After drinking the soup, we got nosebleeds. It is a great tonic. The Xuanwu tribe is not the one who uses this stuff.
They are known for longevity, so give them supplements."
"Tao follows nature. Birdman, please shut up." Even though Zhang Junbao has a lazy and free-spirited temperament, he still knows how to behave and said, "Let's change to another one. This... really doesn't work."
"You have to do it even if you don't do it!" Crow and Fox puffed up their chests and pouted, looking angry. "You already think highly of them when you come to give them gifts, and you are still picky. Huh! I don't want to ask about it. We father and daughter have never asked about it.
They are freeloaders!" They seemed to be reasonable, "We have to give this thing away today!"
There was no way, Birdman and Swing insisted on sending tortoise shells, and Li Zhenying had no choice but to let them do whatever they wanted. Anyway, Yue Lao Daxian said that all the troubles caused by crows are borne by crows themselves, so there is no need to worry. In addition, Princess Li could vaguely see
When I came out, those pieces of broken tortoise shells that looked ordinary may have some origins, "Whose are they? Has any great master of the Turtle Clan passed away recently? Is it just that some big demon appeared in the Turtle Clan and provoked the Jade Bird Man?"
