What's the point of collecting lucky money?

In the past, the main function of lucky money was to drive away "special things", but now it has more meanings, such as welcoming the New Year, wishing children peace and health, getting rid of all the troubles of the old year and getting more luck in the new year. Therefore, the lucky money belt has more beautiful blessings and implications, not just the meaning of exorcism.

According to the saying that lucky money goes to the old and welcomes the new, it is actually suitable for the first morning of the first day of junior high school, because it represents the beginning of a new year, which is the so-called New Year red envelope.

Lucky money emphasizes meaning rather than amount, so the meaning of amount must be auspicious. When giving lucky money to children, it is recommended to use lucky numbers such as 2, 6 and 8. 2 stands for men, 6 stands for everything going well, and 8 stands for making money properly.

It is not recommended to use singular and unlucky numbers such as 4,13,250, otherwise it is likely to make a joke and may also affect relatives.

Pay attention to several details when giving lucky money:

Give the new money instead of the old: the face of the lucky money should be new, unbreakable and incomplete, because the new money represents family reunion, but the broken money is considered as "breaking up the family" in some places, which has a bad meaning.

Red envelopes should be appropriate: use red envelopes for lucky money, and don't use red envelopes indiscriminately, such as birthday red envelopes and wedding red envelopes.

Don't seal red envelopes: sealing red envelopes means "sealing money", and some people will mind very much, so red envelopes are generally not sealed.
