礼物

礼物 is a Noun, which means “gift; present”.

Cultural Meaning:

As in many cultures, there are things that can never be used as a gift in Chinese culture. For example, never give a clock to an old Chinses person as a gift because 送钟 (giving a clock as a gift) sounds like 送终 (attending one's funeral). One should not give a pair of shoes to a Chinese person because 送鞋（giving a pair of shoes as a gift ）sounds similar to 送邪 (giving evil to someone). One must also avoid giving a green hat as a gift to a Chinese man as “wearing a green hat ”in Chinese implies that the man is cheated on by his wife or girlfriend who has an affair with another man.
