Giving money during Chinese New Year is considered lucky for both the giver and the receiver.
Those who give will also invite the flow of money during the entire year. Giving these envelopes also symbolize that the family luck is passed on to the children.
Wow, I never knew giving money means luck. ;) I also never knew that it is considered lucky for both and giver and the receiver.
ReplyDeleteI also get money from my grandparent when I go to Korea in Chinese new year. But I never knew that it symbolized luck to children. The bad thing about this for me is that my parents "keep" the money for me.
