Why do you give out red envelopes during the Spring Festival?

As for why we should give out red envelopes during the Spring Festival.

In the tradition of Spring Festival in China, elders give red envelopes to young people, but there is no such thing as red envelopes among peers.

Red envelopes are also called "lucky money". In fact, it was called "lucky money" earlier, which means to suppress evil spirits so that children can be safe, healthy and happy in the new year without being disturbed by evil spirits.

Therefore, when the Spring Festival arrives, parents give their children lucky money with such a heart, and children are naturally happy to get lucky money and their parents' blessings.

A Qing Wu Manyun's poem "Lucky Money" said: "Hundred presidents, colorful, collected from pillows, discussed the price of firecrackers, and discussed the price. The girl who added it was busy all night."

In the poem, Joule gets lucky money in a lovely way, which is also one of the factors that add joy to the year.

The traditional festivals in China have lasted for thousands of years, and some customs remain unchanged, but their meanings are constantly changing.

It is undeniable that the lucky money in modern society tends to be stale.

With the continuous improvement of economic level, children get more and more lucky money, ranging from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan.

Children get lucky money from their parents and elders, but they care more about the face value of the RMB they get, but they don't know the meaning of their elders' blessings.

Traditional culture education is a kind of subculture education, and once it is missing, it is also a defect of education. The defect of education will lead to the defect of national character, and education will also lose the mission of inheriting culture.

It is necessary to educate children on traditional culture by using the lucky money given by their elders during the Spring Festival. By getting lucky money in this special festival, children can feel the festive atmosphere and learn more about the customs and culture of the Spring Festival.

And the Spring Festival is getting stronger every year. When communicating with parents and elders, they will have a deeper understanding of the meaning of lucky money and the folk culture of this traditional festival, and will inherit this culture.
