中国人为什么会热衷于送礼呢？换个问法，在中国，送礼这一行为的文化基础是什么呢？

首先，前面讲到，我们的祖先很早就进入农业社会并开始定居生活。为了避免由于过分集中定居而产生的矛盾，中国人便开始特别注重人的伦理，即人与人之间关系的某种约定。而这种人与人之间的伦理关系则以家庭和家族关系为出发点，以父子、夫妻、兄弟关系为准绳。这种家庭关系扩大并延伸到社会，就顺理成章地演变成了君臣关系、长幼关系、朋友关系等等。因此，在古代中国，人与人之间的关系都带有亲情和人情的特点，人情世故则成了维系所有关系的原则和标准。礼尚往来式的送礼正是维系人情关系的重要媒介。

其次，由于中国传统的社会关系具有人情的特点，契约式的法律和规定自然不会受到青睐，因为法律和契约与人情是水火不相容的。于是，一种以人情为基础的灵活的处世哲学和处世方式，便顺应了这种人际关系的特点。情大于法的后果是社会运转缺乏统一的规定，权力拥有了更为灵活的空间。一件事可以这么办，也可以那么办，灵活度很大。由此产生了中国人办事求人、托人找关系的习俗，而送礼则成了实现这一目的重要方式。

再有，也是由于上述集中定居的原因，中国文化的精神之一便是“和”，即“贵和尚中”，讲的是人与人之间的和睦统一关系，以及崇尚不偏不倚、过犹不及的中庸式的处世方式，而送礼则是协调人与人之间关系的重要方法。它能纠正人们的过激行为，也能软化人们的对立情绪，不失为实现传统理想价值的极好的方法。

Why are the Chinese so into giving gifts? In other words, what cultural background does the giving of gifts base on?

First of all, as stated above, our ancestors progressed into agricultural society in the ancient time and began to settle. To avoid arguments arises from massive settlements, the Chinese began to look carefully into morals, as in the relationship between a person and another. Such relationship often starts from family and kins as starting point, as in father and son, spouse, brothers, etc. This relationship of family soon stretch its influence into the whole society, and inevitably become the relationship between emperor and minister, elder and young, and between friends. Therefore, in ancient China, the relationship among people often have characteristics of family and emotions, the this relationship become the ruler to mark everything. Givinging gifts is the very tool of keeping this good relationship.

secondly, because of this special characteristics in the society of ancient China, contracts and laws that restricts the nature is not welcome, because laws are against intimacy and relationships. As a result, a philosophy based on this kind of relationship is formed. The consequences of emotions higher than that of law is that there're no rules to constrain society's operation, and there're more freedom and power. A thing can be done this way, and in that way,too. Thus creating the tradition in which to ask someone for a favor to do something for them. Giving gifts is as well the very tool to accomplish this.

Moreover, also as a result of concentrated settlement mentioned above, one of the Chinese culture spirit is "peace", as in peace is the best state of mind. People shall be peaceful to one another, and giving gifts become an important aspect to coordinates this kind of living style. It can calm people's outraged behavior, as well as soften the hostile thought to one another, thus giving gifts is again one of the best ways to accomplish traditional values.

Why may Chinese be keen on to giving present? Change giving present in China from law ,this one behavior culture what woollen cloth the basis is? First, the front says the life very for a long time, entering agricultural society and starting settlement to our ancestor. For avoiding concentrating the contradiction settling in but coming into being since excessive,certain that Chinese concerns between ethics , namely person and person just beginning to attach importance to a people's specially arranges kind. The ethics relation between this person and person takes family and clan relation as starting point but then , takes father and son , husband and wife , brotherhood as guideline. This family relation expands and extends to society, able monarch and subjects of evolution concerns , old and young relation , friend relation wait a minute logically. Therefore, the relation between China the ancient times , person and person has all taken the principle and standard holding together all relation to characteristic having close feeling and human feelings , the ways of people has become then. Dyadic giving present of courtesy calls for reciprocity exactly is to hold together important human feelings relation intermediary.

Feeling greater than law consequence has been that society works to be short of unified regulation , authority has owned the space being more nimble. A matter can can handle so handling like this , also , nimble degree is very big. But convention from this, having produced Chinese handling affairs asking for help , having asked an influential person for help looking for relation, give present having been accomplished then realizing this one important purpose way. In addition, be also to concentrate the cause settling in since above-mentioned, one of the Chinese culture spirit is "in expensive Buddhist monk " "and", is, the harmony talking between being person and person unites relation, as well as advocating hold the scales even , going too far is as bad as not going far enough dyadic The Doctrine of Mean conducting self in society way, but give present being to harmonize the important method concerning between person and person then. Its intemperance behavior of energy transformation people, also energy antagonism of softening people, can yet be regarded as the extremely nice method realizing ideal value of tradition.
