Is it good to give hats to others?

The reasons why you cannot give hats to others are as follows:

1. Everyone knows that green hats cannot be given away casually. The green hat means "cuckold", which means someone in the family has cheated on someone, and it is very bad to give the cuckold away. Unless you can't bear to say that your best friend/brother has been "cuckolded", but you are embarrassed to say it directly, then you can give him a cuckold to hint.

2. Straw hats and white hats cannot be given away casually. In folk customs, when an elder in the family dies, the descendants need to wear white mourning hats and linen clothes. And if you give someone a white hat, it will feel like you have cursed someone else's family.

3. There is also a folk saying that hats are placed on the top of the head. Giving hats to others will make people think that you want to put others down, so it is not recommended to give hats.

Taboos in giving gifts

1. Taboos in giving chrysanthemums: White is considered the color of funerals in China, so chrysanthemums have become a symbol of white things. There are also such things abroad. According to custom, chrysanthemums in foreign countries often grow beside public cemeteries. Therefore, they are often used to commemorate the deceased in foreign countries, so they cannot be given casually as gifts.

2. It is taboo to give handkerchiefs: it is taboo to give handkerchiefs as gifts among the people. Because in the old days, after the funeral, the bereaved family would give a handkerchief to the mourner to express the severance of contact between the mourner and the deceased. This is what the saying goes, "Send a handkerchief to cut off the roots."
