For hundreds of years, giving flowers have been a social means of communication. In the United States, flowers are often given during rites of passage, for commemorating special occasions or as a heartfelt gift between loved ones and friends. Flower gifting also occurs in most countries around the world. However, the meanings and traditions often vary.

While students traditionally gave their favorite teacher an apple in past years, in China, teachers are given flowers. Peonies are by far the flower most often given in China. They are also quite popularly used for weddings. Strangely, potted plants are not considered a pleasant gift among Asian cultures. The people believe that like a plant confined by a pot, the gift symbolizes a binding or restriction.

In Russia, in lieu of giving birthday presents, the guest of honor receives a single flower or an unwrapped bouquet. Floral arrangements or baskets are not given. Russians celebrate a holiday known as Woman's Day. Traditional gifts include red roses, hyacinths or tulips. When there is a funeral or other occasion where someone wishes to express sympathy, carnations, lilies or roses are given in circular configurations, which signify the transition of birth, life and death to rebirth. In this instance, the color of choice is commonly yellow. For joyous occasions, arrangements and bouquets generally contain an odd number of flowers.

In the times of ancient Rome, brides carried flowers to scare away evil spirits and encourage fertility. The Dutch believed that flowers were food for the soul. When invited to someone's home in Great Britain, it is tradition to bring a gift of flowers. All types are acceptable except white lilies, which are usually seen at funerals. Unlike the United States, red roses are a symbol of love. Flowers are generally gifted in odd numbered increments regardless of the occasion. However, the Brits also have superstitions regarding the number 13, so the number is avoided.

In the southern region of the continent, flowers are traditionally given during Christmas. Egyptians are much more conservative and restrict flower gifting to funerals and weddings. While certain flowers may have significant meanings for some, flowers in Las Vegas and across the United States flowers are an accepted gift for any reason desired.

The word "superstitions" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

A. deep-seated belief

          In the southern region of the continent, flowers are traditionally given during Christmas. Egyptians are much more conservative and restrict flower gifting to funerals and weddings.

(Ở khu vực phía nam của châu lục, hoa thường được tặng theo truyền thống vào dịp Giáng sinh. Người Ai Cập thận trọng hơn nhiều và giới hạn việc tặng hoa vào đám tang hay đám cưới. Trong khi một số loài hoa thường có những ý nghĩa khác nhau, hoa ở Las Vegas và xuyên suốt nước Mỹ là hai món quà được chấp nhận cho bất kì lí do nào)

Trong hàng trăm năm, việc tặng hoa là một phương tiện giao tiếp xã hội. Tại Hoa Kỳ, hoa thường được tặng trong các nghi thức, để kỷ niệm những dịp đặc biệt hoặc là một món quà chân thành giữa những người thân và bạn bè. Việc tặng hoa cũng xuất hiện ở hầu hết các nước trên thế giới. Tuy nhiên, ý nghĩa và truyền thống thường khác nhau.

          Ngày xưa, trong khi theo truyền thống sinh viên thường tặng cho giáo viên yêu quý của họ một quả táo, ở Trung Quốc, giáo viên được tặng hoa. Hoa mẫu đoen là hoa lâu đời hất thường được tặng ở Trung Quốc. Chúng cũng được sử dụng khá phổ biến cho đám cưới. Kỳ lạ thay, cây trồng trong chậu không được coi là món quà dễ chịu trong nền văn hóa châu Á. Mọi người tin rằng nó giống như một cái cây bị giam giữ bởi một cái chậu, món quà tượng trưng cho sự ràng buộc hoặc hạn chế.

          Ở Nga, thay vì tặng quà sinh nhật, khách mời danh dự nhận được một bông hoa duy nhất hoặc một bó hoa chưa được gói. Hoa được gói sẵn hoặc giỏ hoa không được tặng. Người Nga ăn mừng một ngày lễ được gọi là Ngày Quốc tế phụ nữ. Quà tặng truyền thống bao gồm hoa hồng đỏ, lan dạ hương hoặc hoa tulip. Khi có một đám tang hoặc dịp khác, nơi ai đó muốn thể hiện sự cảm thông, hoa cẩm chướng, hoa huệ tây hay hồng được gói tặng theo hình tròn, biểu thị sự chuyển tiếp của sinh ra, sống và chết để tái sinh. Trong trường hợp này, màu sắc được lựa chọn thường là màu vàng. Đối với những dịp vui vẻ, việc sắp xếp và bó hoa thường theo số lẻ hoa.

          Trong thời La Mã cổ đại, các cô dâu mang hoa để xua đuổi linh hồn ma quỷ và khuyến khích khả năng sinh sản. Người Hà Lan tin rằng hoa là thức ăn cho linh hồn. Khi được mời đến nhà của một ai đó ở Vương Quốc Anh, mang quà là hoa là nét truyền thống. Tất cả các loại hoa đều được chấp nhận ngoại trừ hoa huệ tây trắng, loài hoa thường thấy ở các đám tang. Không giống như Hoa Kỳ, hoa hồng đỏ là biểu tượng của tình yêu. Hoa thường được tặng theo số lẻ bất kể dịp nào. Tuy nhiên, người Anh cũng có mê tín dị đoan về số 13, vì vậy con số này được tránh tặng.

          Ở khu vực phía nam của châu lục, hoa thường được tặng theo truyền thống vào dịp Giáng sinh. Người Ai Cập thận trọng hơn nhiều và giới hạn việc tặng hoa vào đám tang hay đám cưới. Trong khi một số loài hoa thường có những ý nghĩa khác nhau, hoa ở Las Vegas và xuyên suốt nước Mỹ là hai món quà được chấp nhận cho bất kì lí do nào.
