1、 Promote sales
Fortune tree was first called Malabari. When it was first introduced into Taiwan, the sales volume was not very high, which was not recognized by many people. In order to improve the sales volume, businessmen changed the name of fortune tree, called fortune tree, to obtain a beautiful meaning. In order to get a good lottery, people bought in large quantities, and the sales volume increased all at once. Then it was introduced to other parts of China, and the name was also remembered by more people, It became the trade name of Malaba chestnut, and then it became a very common indoor ornamental plant. Like other money trees, fortune trees and money trees, they attract buyers through auspicious commodity names, so as to improve sales.
2、 From homophony
There is also a saying that the Cantonese obtained the name. When they first introduced China, they did not have a Chinese name, but they were still called Guali. After the introduction of the Cantonese, according to the Chinese phonetic notation of the fortune tree, they got the homonym "fortune" in the first half, which was later called the fortune tree. Because the meaning of the three words "get rich" is very good, so after calling this name, it is gradually known by people, and more and more people like this kind of tree.
