春节送花禁忌：这4种花千万别乱送人
随着生活水平的提高，越来越多的家庭选择在家中养绿色植物和花卉。此外，如今市场上有各种品牌专门利用节日制作花卉礼盒进行售卖，因此花卉也成为人们过节时常常选择的礼品之一。
With the improvement of living standards, more and more families choose to keep green plants and flowers at home. Moreover, many brands now specialize in creating floral gift boxes for holidays, making flowers one of the most popular gift choices during festive seasons.
花卉不仅具有美好的寓意，还能在节日中为环境增添点缀，为节日营造更浓郁的氛围，是一种不错的节日礼品选择。然而，中国文化博大精深，每种植物都有其独特的寓意和象征。如果植物的寓意与收礼人的文化信仰不符，可能会引起误解。
Flowers not only carry beautiful symbolism but also add decorative elements to the environment, enhancing the festive atmosphere. However, Chinese culture is profound, and each plant has its unique meaning and symbolism. If the symbolism of the plant conflicts with the recipient's cultural beliefs, it may lead to misunderstandings.
1. 菊花 Chrysanthemums
菊花是中国著名的花卉之一，在《红楼梦》中就有对其的记载。但由于其寓意，使其成为过年过节送花时不能随意送人的花卉之一。
Chrysanthemums are one of China's most famous flowers, mentioned in "Dream of the Red Chamber." However, due to their symbolism, they have become one of the flowers that should not be gifted casually during holidays.
在中国传统文化中，菊花逐渐成为哀悼的象征。如今往丧事上送菊花已成为人们普遍遵循的不成文规定。因此，如果在春节期间随意送菊花，可能会引起他人的误解。
In traditional Chinese culture, chrysanthemums gradually became symbols of mourning. Today, giving chrysanthemums at funerals has become an unwritten rule. Therefore, casually gifting chrysanthemums during Chinese New Year may cause misunderstandings.
2. 唐菖蒲 Gladiolus
唐菖蒲融合了中西方文化，但在中国，其名字引发了"遇见灾难"的联想。许多人认为唐菖蒲不符合作为节庆庆贺吉祥植物的标准。
Gladiolus combines Chinese and Western cultures, but in China, its name evokes associations with "encountering disasters." Many people believe gladiolus doesn't meet the standards for festive and auspicious plants.
3. 茉莉花 Jasmine
茉莉花以其独特的香味闻名，深受中国人民的喜爱。然而在湘潭地区，人们认为"茉莉"和"没利"发音相似，被视为不吉利的象征。
Jasmine is famous for its unique fragrance and deeply loved by Chinese people. However, in Xiangtan area, people believe "茉莉" (jasmine) sounds similar to "没利" (no profit), making it an unlucky symbol.
4. 倒挂金钟 Fuchsia
倒挂金钟因其名字的原因被列入不适合随便送人的礼品名单。在古代春节时，倒挂金钟不适宜作为礼物赠送，可能被视为炫耀或带来不吉。
Fuchsia is included in the list of inappropriate gifts due to its name. In ancient times during Chinese New Year, fuchsia was not suitable as a gift as it might be seen as showing off or bringing bad luck.
总结：春节送花需谨慎，了解花卉的文化含义才能避免尴尬，传递真挚祝福。
Conclusion: Be cautious when gifting flowers during Chinese New Year. Understanding the cultural meanings of flowers can help avoid embarrassment and convey sincere blessings.
