According to Chinese culture, there are some taboos (禁忌) which you should keep in mind when you choose gifts for your Chinese friends.
►No clocks for the old.
In Chinese, “clock” has the same pronunciation as the word “zhong”, which means “the end”. Giving someone a clock implies (含有……的意思)
“your time is up”. If you really want to buy someone a good-looking clock, you can let him or her choose one and then you pay for it.
►No umbrellas for friends.
“Umbrella” is pronounced as “san” in Chinese, which means “separation”. So don’t give an umbrella to your friend as a gift. It is not a good symbol of friendship. Of course, giving someone an umbrella on a rainy day is okay.
