Why is the fortune tree called the fortune tree? Pictures of the fortune tree

1. Promote sales

The money tree was originally called Malabar chestnut. When it was first introduced to Taiwan, sales were not very high and many people did not accept it. In order to increase sales, merchants changed the name of the money tree to the fortune tree to obtain a good meaning. In order to get a good start, people bought it in large quantities, and sales increased suddenly. It was then introduced to other parts of China, and the name was remembered by more people. It became the fixed product name of Malabar chestnut, and later became a very common indoor ornamental plant. Like other money trees, fortune trees, and money trees, they all use auspicious product names to attract purchases and thus increase sales.

2. Originated from homophony

There is also a saying that the name was given by the Cantonese. When it was first introduced to China, it did not have a Chinese name and was still called Guali. After the Cantonese introduced it, they used the Chinese phonetic notation of the character for money tree and came up with the homonym of the first half of the name "Fa Cai La", and then it was called the Money Tree. Because the three words "make a fortune" have a good meaning, the tree has gradually become well-known after being called this name, and more and more people like this tree.
