The pie chart above shows us clearly the expenditure structure of the residents in a city of China during the Spring Festival. According to the figure given in the chart, we can see that the residents spend as much as 40% of the money on gifts, accounting for the largest share. The remaining 60% was equally divided into three parts, spent on dinner, transportation and other things, respectively.
There are, to my mind，plenty of shaping factors, among which, the following ones are particularly worth mentioning. To begin with，it is a Chinese tradition to give gifts to friends, relatives and others during festivals，so people prefer to spend much money in purchasing gifts. What's more, as the pace of modern life continues to quicken，the public are faced with more competition and stress. Not only can giving gifts to each other improve interpersonal relationship but help to relieve stress. One more point that cannot be ignored is that with the steady improvement of people's living standards, the public care more about spiritual life, so that memorable New Year gifts are becoming more and more popular.
Taking all these factors into consideration, we can believe this phenomenon is quite normal and will continue for quite a while in the forthcoming years. If this trend can be kept and guided properly, our life will become more wonderful.
