The origin of gifts and the origin of gifts
Clothing, jewellery, food, and farms are even more ordinary gifts. In ancient times, people were also given as special gifts. The ancient beauty Xi Shi was presented by Fan Li as a gift to Wu Wang Fucha, and Wang Yun used a series of timing to give Diao Chan as a gift to Dong Zhuo. In Sparta in ancient Greece, it was extremely common for slave owners to give slaves to each other.
As a special social phenomenon, gift giving has a very long history. People giving gifts to each other is an indispensable communication content in human social life. Gifts are produced and developed together with a series of other etiquette activities. We know that ritual originated from sacrificial activities in ancient times. When offering sacrifices, in addition to expressing respect and awe to the gods in a pious manner, people also devote themselves to the gods with the most valuable items (ie sacrifices) that best reflect their respect to the gods. Perhaps since then, in the meaning of gifts, there have been material components and manifestations. That is, rituals can appear in the form of objects.
