As we know, Chinese people always express their feelings implicitly. Especially in ancient times, when people met someone they like, they could not express their feelings directly, and couldn’t let others see it either. So they use objects that represent love to express their feelings, and let the other person know what they are thinking. In today’s story, we are going to look at some of the tokens that represent the meaning of love that passed down from ancient time to today.
