the inexpensive gift by scholars

The Chinese idiom, Xi ù C á IR é NQ í ng in pinyin, means that in the old days, most of the scholars were poor and could not afford to buy gifts when they met with people, so they had to cut paper and write letters. As the saying goes: "Xiucai Renqing paper half." Generally speaking, the gift is too meagre. From the book of rites of Tao village.
