What's the name of the money given for nothing? It's called a gift, right? Solatium is written for leaders and elders. What do young people write?

It stems from the fact that people were not well off in the past, and relatives and friends were mourning at home. People attending the funeral will send some money to help make up for the funeral expenses of relatives and friends. In addition to expressing their wishes to the dead, they actually helped the living.

The money put in the white envelope is for "silk gold". "Silk" is the general name of silk fabric, which was valuable in ancient times. "Money" generally means money.

Extending the amount of money for sending a message to a funeral is usually to add a zero dollar to an integer, such as 10 1 yuan, which is related to China's concept of "long time".

According to the traditional custom in China, relatives and friends attending the funeral will receive gifts from the family members of the deceased, including a dollar coin and candy. Once the money sent by relatives and friends is an integer, the mantissa of the auspicious instrument is nine after deducting one yuan, which leads to the unlucky meaning of "long" funeral. Therefore, it is necessary to add a dollar to the silk gold, so that after deducting a dollar, the auspicious instrument will not end with a nine-character.

In addition, the mantissa of one yuan can also be singular, so as to avoid "bad things in pairs" and even numbers, because "double" and "injury" are homophonic and have the meaning of "sadness".

The unitary mantissa may also be homophonic in Cantonese, and "one single pass" means there is no next time. There is also a saying that the pronunciation of "one" in Mandarin is similar to that of "relying on", which means that sad relatives and friends have something to rely on.
