Reading guide: Give New Year's money, keep in mind the "six" taboos, neither offend people nor lose face
The flavor of the New Year is getting stronger, and the migrant workers who work outside gradually return to their hometowns for the New Year, and go home to celebrate the New Year with their parents, or their wives and children, and the children will also get the blessing of the elders to send red envelopes after the New Year, and the custom of giving red envelopes is to give the children New Year's money.
According to historical records:The earliest New Year money originated in the Han Dynasty, at first on Chinese New Year's Eve or the first day of the New Year, the elders sent the younger generation money through different forms, and now it integrates new elements, through WeChat, Alipay, red packets to send the New Year money, meaning that the elders give the child a talisman to ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts, and bless the child with health and success in the new year.
And now the most practical way to give children New Year's money, is to use fresh coins on red packaging to give to their juniors, this is not the case, the New Year to give New Year's money, to keep in mind the "six" taboos, neither offend people nor lose face, what are the specific six taboos? Listen as I explain slowly.
1. Pay attention to the even number of money
Now people are quite wealthy, and the amount of red envelopes has changed from dozens of yuan to 100 yuan now, but the amount of 100 yuan bills should be decided according to their own economic strength.
If you have strong strength, you can give your juniors 1000 2000, or more, if you don't have the strength, you can give a red envelope to your juniors a double number.
2. Use new red envelopes
Now to give children New Year's money, they are all given to children in the form of red envelopes, but this red envelope is also particular, don't try to save trouble last year's old red envelope, take it out for the children to pretend to be New Year's money.
This is disrespectful to the children, because after the old red envelope has been put for a year, the surface of the red envelope has faded, if the red envelope is not kept properly, it will crack, or wrinkle, such a red envelope with a hundred yuan bills will also look not fresh, and also lose the festive meaning.
3. Treat everyone equally
When we give out red envelopes, if we see that there are two or three children in a relative's family, the amount of money in the red envelope should be the same, and the children in the province will pick and choose, or cry.
If the amount of money in the red envelope is different, after the children open the red envelope, they will find out how much money is inside, and the children have a heart of comparison, and they will take out the money to show off.
If they find that the money in their red envelopes is different from that of their brothers and sisters, he will ask you for money mercilessly, or tell his mother that he is embarrassed at that time.
Fourth, use new banknotes
When giving out red envelopes during the New Year, try to accumulate some new banknotes, because the first day of the New Year is the first day of the year, and this first day is also the beginning of the new year.
If you don't pay attention to these and give some hundred-dollar bills to the children, this is to lose the meaning of the new blessing to the children, and you will also be disliked by the children, because the children love the new big bills.
5. Write words of blessing on the red envelope
When we prepare red envelopes for our juniors, each red envelope must be written with a word of blessing, and these words of blessing can be replaced by a sentence.
Because some of the children have already gone to primary school or middle school, they are very concerned about the blessings on the red envelope, because in the hearts of the children, they will have a wish that they will have excellent academic performance in the new year, or be admitted to a secondary school.
6. Give red envelopes to children in front of parents
When we give red envelopes to the younger generations, we must pay attention to them, and give red envelopes to children in front of their parents, if we give red envelopes to children alone, it will cause an embarrassing situation.
Because today's children, their IQ is very advanced, they all know that money is a good thing, and they can buy all kinds of delicious food on the street with their own private money, and they will hide the red envelopes given by their elders, and it will be very convenient to spend money by themselves when the time comes.
But the parents of the children do not know about giving red envelopes, and these parents will not return the gift to give red envelopes to other people's children, maybe this will cause a misunderstanding, so it is the right choice to give red envelopes in front of the parents of the children.
In summary, the end of the year is already a countdown, are you ready to send red envelopes to juniors? But remember these "six" taboos so as not to embarrass yourself, do you think I'm right?
