在送行时，在节日里，在过生日的时候，人们都喜欢说一些祝福的话。中国人在不同的场景用不同的话来表达，而且很丰富。比如，在生日里有：“生日快乐！”“祝你健康长寿！”“祝您福如东海，寿比南山！”等；送行时有：“一路平安！”“一路顺风！”“旅途愉快！”“一路顺利！”等；过新年时更有很多吉祥祝福的话，如：“新年快乐！”“新年吉祥！”“新年好！”“合家幸福！”等等。

Chinese good wishes are expressed on holidays and festivals, or at birthday parties. Such expressions vary from one to another. The most commonly used ones are “shēngrì kuàilè(Happy birthday), “zhù nǐ jiànkāng chángshòu”(Wish you good health and long life), “zhù nǐ fú rú Dōnghǎi, shòubǐ Nánshān”(May your happiness be as boundless as the sea and longevity comparable to that of the hills), “yí lù píng’ān”(Bon voyage), yí lù shùnlì”(Have a good trip), “lǚtú yúkuài”(Have a peasant journey), “yílù shùnfēng”(Have a plain sailing), “xīnián kuàilè”(Happy New Year), “xīnnián jíxiáng”(Have an anspicious New Year), “xīnián hǎo”(Happy New Year), and “héjiā xìngfú”(Wish your family every happiness).
