Extended reading: taboo of French culture

First: the national flower of France is iris. Not suitable for chrysanthemum, peony, rose, azalea, daffodil, marigold and paper flower. The national bird is a rooster, and the French think it is a direct manifestation of courage and tenacity. The national stone is a pearl. I like blue, white and red, but I hate yellow and dark green. Because the French think yellow symbolizes infidelity.

Secondly, the numbers "13" and "Friday" are taboo, because they think these numbers imply danger. And there is a special emphasis on gifts: choose items with artistic taste and commemorative significance, and don't use knives, swords, scissors, tableware or items with obvious advertising signs. When accepting a gift, open the package in front of the giver.

Third: it is forbidden for men to send perfume to women. If you give gifts to women after immigrating to France, you should remember this little taboo. There is also avoiding personal issues, politics, money and other topics.

Fourth, they regard peacocks as bad birds; Cranes are considered as symbols of fools and wives. You can't call old women "old ladies" either, because they think it is an insulting language. I am most afraid of being asked about my political inclination, salary and personal affairs.
