Ancient Chinese Origins
In traditional Chinese culture, there is a great emphasis on "rites", which used to be the essence of Chinese culture. Many elements of etiquette are expressed in form, such as greeting cards. Sending greeting cards before personal events or public holidays is a solemn form and a way to inform the other party in advance, which is convenient for others and yourself. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, greeting cards have been retained as a traditional form, but the name has changed.
Tang Dynasty Innovations
It is said that when Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, celebrated the New Year, he made a greeting card with red gold leaf, and the imperial book "celebrates with the whole world" and gave it to the minister. Because this form was invented by the emperor, it quickly popularized among the people, but the folk were not as extravagant as the royal family, and did not dare to use gold leaf, and used plum blossom paper instead, written vertically.
Song Dynasty Commercialization
The famous greeting card was originally presented in person as a sign of solemnity. However, in the Song Dynasty, the commercial atmosphere was strong, and people were getting busier, so those who couldn't send in person sent servants to present them. This allowed one person to send more cards efficiently, eliminating the red tape of meetings between hosts.
