The Chinese New Year is about ten days away. During the Chinese New Year, everyone will give red envelopes to their elders or children at home. Many people don’t know that there are actually some things to pay attention to when giving red envelopes.
Especially the amount inside, you cannot give it casually, otherwise you are likely to be laughed at by others. So when we give others a red envelope, how much should we give? What should we pay attention to? Let’s take a look together.
First of all, when we send red envelopes to others, we must never send odd-numbered red envelopes. Because Chinese people are really particular about the number of red envelopes, so when we give out red envelopes, it is best to include even numbers.
In our country, people generally believe that six and eight represent good luck and good luck. Generally, the number six represents six and six, and eight represents fortune.
Similarly, we should also remember when wrapping red envelopes not to include some taboo words, for example, because the word four has the same pronunciation as "death".
If you include such numbers, people will feel very unlucky, so when we include red envelopes, it is best to include even numbers.
Secondly, in addition to giving red envelopes to our elders, we usually also give red envelopes to children at home, but many people don’t know how to give them.
In fact, everyone can follow the principle of treating all children equally and send them red envelopes to avoid children’s comparison mentality.
If the amounts are different when we pack the red envelope, the children may share it with other children after getting the red envelope.
If other children receive different amounts of red envelopes, it may cause them to become jealous.
This may cause some unnecessary trouble and also affect the relationship between children, so it is best for everyone to treat them equally.
Third, when we send red envelopes to others, we must remember not to seal the opening of the red envelope. Why do we say this?
Because when we give red envelopes to adults, we wish them good fortune and success in their careers and finances.
If we seal the red envelope, it is likely that others will think that it is blocking the other person's wealth.
Therefore, when sending red envelopes to others during the Chinese New Year, be sure not to seal them tightly, although the other person may think too much about it.
Fourth, in order to save some money, many friends will use previous red envelopes as new red envelopes. In fact, this is very bad.
Because we have to start over with red envelopes in the new year, it is best not to use the old red envelopes. Not only does this have a bad connotation, but the other person may feel uncomfortable if they take it, so everyone should also pay attention when using red envelopes.
Fifth, when you receive a red envelope, you should not open it in front of the other person in advance, and when receiving the red envelope, you should say some blessing words to your friend, so that the other person can be happier.
If we open the red envelope in front of the other party, it will appear that we are particularly rude. If the red envelope given by the other party is relatively small, the other party will be embarrassed, so it is best not to open the red envelope in front of the other party.
In short, everyone must pay attention to the above matters when sending red envelopes. Of course, don’t mind if the red envelope you receive is relatively small. After all, what we pay attention to when giving red envelopes is that the gift should be light on the gift but the affection should be heavy on it, as long as you receive it with sincerity.
