Why do we give out red envelopes during the Spring Festival? Besides red envelopes, what other gifts
QuestionerQuestioner:06-21 14:58
When the Spring Festival arrives, the elders will give each of the younger generations a red envelope, which can be regarded as a beautiful blessing to the younger generations, but can other gifts be given besides red envelopes?
Best answer

Giving red envelopes to younger generations during the New Year has always been a custom for Chinese people to celebrate the Spring Festival. Chinese people like red because it symbolizes vitality, happiness and good luck. Giving red envelopes to younger generations means bringing them blessings and good luck. The money in the red envelopes is just to make the children happy. Its main significance is the red paper because it symbolizes good luck. Therefore, it is impolite for the younger generation who distributes the red envelopes to open the red envelopes in front of the elders. Of course, in addition to giving red envelopes, the elders can also give gifts to the younger generations. Most of the gifts are given by children. Older children have already started to give gifts to the elders. The gifts should preferably be festive red, such as new clothes, new shoes, new socks, etc. Children should like these gifts.

  • If you have money, you can give gifts again, because red envelopes must be given, and giving gifts again will cost a lot.
