    　Recent years have witnessed an increase in people's expenses on Spring Festival. Of all the expenses， money spent on various gifts is at the top of the list， accounting for about 40%. By comparison， those on food and traffic occupy 20% respectively.

    　There seem to be two elements involved in this phenomenon that people spend more on gifts than on other parts. To begin with， sometimes， the real position of gifts in our mind has less to do with its utility than its symbolic value， which represents our kindness to our friends and relatives. A good case in point now is a notable movie called “Da Wan” or “Big Shot's Funeral”， directed by Xiaogang， Feng， which spreads a well-knownview——gifts are indispensable in interaction with others. Meanwhile， externally， our society is sparing no efforts to produce a brand-new concept that one's social status is associated tightly with the gifts we send to others， which can also show his or her property.

    　To sum up， this trend is likely to continue for quite a long time in the future. Firmly， I believe that it is advisable for departments concerned to lay down strict rules and regulations so that we can put the situation under proper control.
