In Hengyang, Hunan, the trend in recent years is that a rising tide lifts all boats, or it may be that everyone's economic ability has improved. The general standard is that you need to return the same amount as others, or add it here, such as 6 yuan, 8 yuan, 66 yuan, 88 yuan and so on. To express good luck.

Number of lucky money given:

1. Parents give their children: 200- 1000 yuan.

2. Grandparents and grandparents give their children: 200-800 yuan.

3, relatives give children: 200-800 yuan

4. Friends give children: 200-400 yuan

5, distant relatives give children: 200-400 yuan

The custom of giving lucky money:

1, students don't have to give lucky money to their elders or younger generations.

2. Those who are not married but have gone out to work need to give red envelopes to their parents and grandparents. The younger generation at home can see their own financial situation.

3. The elders will give lucky money to the younger generation who are studying and not married.

Pay attention to lucky money;

I don't know what other areas are particular about. According to my childhood experience, I have the following points:

1, red packets and new banknotes. Every new year, the elders at home will go back to the bank to change new banknotes.

Parents give their children lucky money, usually before going to bed on New Year's Eve or under a pillow.

3. Go to relatives' home to pay New Year greetings and say auspicious words, and the elders will give red envelopes to the younger generation.

There are two children at home, the older one is 12 years old or older, and the elders will only give it to the younger one.

The traditional custom of giving lucky money is to shake off evil spirits. In ancient times, people thought that children were the most vulnerable to furtive attacks, so they used lucky money to help suppress meanness. "Old" and "special" are homophonic, hoping that children who get lucky money can spend a year safely.

Since the lucky money became real money, its meaning has also changed. The "exorcism" function of lucky money has gradually come to an end, and new inspirational functions such as "one book is profitable", "financial resources are extensive" and "promotion step by step" have emerged.

There are two kinds of lucky money. One is to put a colored rope in the shape of a dragon and put it at the foot of the bed. The other and most common is that the elders wrap the money distributed to their children in red paper.
