The meaning and significance of red envelopes

The moral of red envelopes is to hope that children will be healthy and safe and that the elderly will live a long life. There are two kinds of red envelopes. One is to put colored rope in the shape of a dragon and put it at the foot of the bed. This record can be found in Yanjing's chronicle, and the other one is the most common one, that is, parents put up wallets distributed to their children with red paper. Lucky money can be given in public after the younger generation pays New Year's greetings, or it can be quietly put under the child's pillow by parents when the child falls asleep on New Year's Eve.

Red envelopes are the custom of sending blessings in the New Year. Generally speaking, a red envelope refers to a red paper bag wrapped with money. It is a lucky money given by the elders to their children during the Lunar New Year, representing a blessing and encouragement from the elders to the younger generation. Under the background of China's traditional customs and China's cultural circle, red envelopes are common in various celebrations, and have gradually evolved into a form of gift money in modern times.
