Definition
礼轻情意重
Literally means:
the is trifling, but the feeling is profound
Actually means:
it's nothing much, but it's the thought that counts
It means although the gift is not much or expensive, it expresses a deep concern and friendship. It connotes that what counts about gift-offering is its feeling, but not the monetary worth of it.
很少或不很贵重,但是表示的情谊却很深。多指主要是表达心意,而不在乎东西的价值或多少。
