The Origin of Greeting Cards

Taizong of the Tang Dynasty used greeting cards to pay New Year greetings to ministers. Every New Year and Spring Festival, everyone from heads of state to ordinary people have the habit of sending greeting cards to relatives and friends. Greeting cards, a special medium of blessing, were born when they were born, why they have been passed down to this day, and what kind of development and changes they have experienced.

Traditional Chinese culture places great emphasis on "rituals", which were once the essence of Chinese culture. Many contents in etiquette are expressed in form, such as greeting cards. Sending greeting cards before important personal events or public holidays is a solemn form, and it is convenient for both others and yourself to inform the other party in advance. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, greeting cards have been retained as a traditional form, but the names have changed.
