What does gold mean, who knows? "⁉️

First time to go to my parents' house

My parents took us to the mall. At first I didn't understand.

What to buy

And then he took us to the gold shop

Choose a gold line for us that we like.

At first we were like

Hey! Is it too expensive? Don't dare to accept

Parents let us take it. Want to buy it.

Until we returned to Thailand

A Chinese friend asked us if his parents had given him a gift.

We took the gold to see.

The girl friend is very happy.

Tell us you're welcome. It means parents.

"Admit us now."

📌 The meaning of giving a first gift.

From parents, Chinese fans

1. Official reception

Giving a gift is a sign that he has accepted us as the "guest of honor" of the family, not just a friend or common acquaintance, but an important person of his child.

2. Showing kindness and sincerity (- L)

In Chinese culture, "" translates into both "etiquette" and "formality." Giving gifts is therefore part of showing manners, sincerity and warmth from the family.

3. Conveying initial acceptance

The gift given is like hinting that "we're open to accepting you into the family circle," while not yet an official confirmation, considered a milestone.

4. Building Good Relationships (- Guánxí)

Chinese culture values "relationship" or relationship. The gift is therefore a bridge of intimacy, creating a sense of bond between us and our family.

📌. Where to go.

• Gift giving is a custom that has existed since ancient times in China. It is used in important festivals such as Chinese New Year (), Mid-Autumn Festival, or special occasions.

• When an "important person" enters the family, giving the first gift is likened to welcoming "open the door." It is an honor.

• Gifts are often chosen to have an auspicious meaning, such as that of red, gold, or that conveys fortune, health, and progress, such as tea, fruit, auspicious snacks, or small attentive-looking utensils.

📌 Summary

Chinese parents buying gifts for us the first time they visit home is not just a souvenir, but a show of warmth, acceptance and honor.

It is an important first step in building a good relationship with the boyfriend family and also a sign that we are being seen as someone who will play a role in his family in the future.

❤️❤️ know this, there's hope. Very glad. ❤️❤️

A Chinese friend told me that not all families accept the woman their son took home, a friend went to his girlfriend's house and came back to cry, saying that their parents are very good, but there are no gifts.

For Thais, it may not be that clear.

I don't know if other foreigners have such cultures.
