A small red envelope contains the happiness that the couple share with their relatives and friends. For example, in Du Lala's promotion story, some people cheat red envelopes on the pretext of marriage, which is not desirable, because red envelopes have a deeper meaning. Here, let's wait for Xiaobian to introduce the origin of red envelopes: sending "red envelopes" is a custom of Chinese New Year, and Chinese love red because it symbolizes vitality, happiness and good luck.

Giving out red envelopes to underage children (according to the Chinese concept, married people are considered adults) means bringing them wishes and good luck. The money in the red envelope is only to make children happy, and its main meaning is in red paper, because it symbolizes good luck. Therefore, it is impolite to open red envelopes in front of the elders who distribute them.

The origin of the red envelopes was a long time ago. At that time, people just wrapped a note full of blessing words on bright red paper, and gave it to relatives and friends as a token of their wishes.

in the Qing dynasty, people used a piece of red paper with a shape similar to a square, wrapped in copper coins and named it "Li". The first generation of red envelopes came out at the end of Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, when printing technology began to be widely used. At that time, the so-called red envelopes were very simple. Butter was printed on red paper, and then gold powder was added to the wet butter. The effect was just like that of today's red envelopes with gold lettering, while the patterns were mostly simple, with auspicious words.

After talking about the origin of the red envelope

First, when you hold the red envelope in your hand in front of the guests, don't inadvertently measure the thickness of the red envelope. This behavior is as impolite as counting the gift money in person.

Second, when you find that the amount on the check is surprisingly small, don't look surprised. If you really suspect that the guest has filled it in incorrectly, you can ask the guest to confirm the check again by checking the signature or recognizing the handwriting.

thirdly, when the size of the gift given by the guest is not suitable and it can't be worn on the spot, it is very impolite for the newcomer to just say that it is not suitable and put it aside. In this case, the couple can say in a humorous tone, "I will take this as a family heirloom and give it to my future daughter when she gets married." In this way, both parties will be happier if they accept the gift.
