Follow me and I will share some interesting stories and experiences on a regular basis to exchange educational experiences together.
As the Spring Festival approaches, we must not only prepare to face the care of relatives and friends in our hometown, but also deal with the ubiquitous "red envelope problem". Mr. Sun, a middle-aged man from Hangzhou, told reporters that he and his wife will return to her hometown in Quzhou for the Spring Festival this year, and they have agreed not to give each other red envelopes anymore in order to reduce the pressure. He explained that the red envelope itself is a kind of human exchange, if your family gives 500 yuan, my family also has to return 500 yuan, this kind of back and forth red envelope exchange does not make much sense. Therefore, they decided to reach a consensus among relatives that they would no longer give each other red envelopes this year. In this way, not only can the financial pressure be reduced, but also the Chinese New Year can be made more relaxed and enjoyable.
In addition, Ms. Zhang found in Jinhua that the number of red envelopes she gave this year was higher than in previous years, because a relative had a new pair of twins, which meant that she needed to give red envelopes to her three children, which added a lot of financial pressure to her. Every year during the Chinese New Year, parents have to respond to the gift money according to the amount of red envelopes their children receive, and Ms. Zhang is faced with the problem of not knowing how much money the other party has wrapped for their children. If she goes with the number of red envelopes she has given in the past, her expenses will triple and if she gives less, she will feel very embarrassed. She said that the amount of red envelopes in Zhejiang is relatively high, 500 to 1,000 yuan is common, and there are even close relatives who give two or three thousand yuan. If she encounters a situation with many children, she needs to give red envelopes to more than a dozen children, which is a big expense for her. Therefore, she lamented that she was a little "unaffordable". In addition, she is also struggling with whether to pack 1,000 yuan for one child or 1,000 yuan for each of her three children. Different people have different views on red envelopes, some people think that red envelopes are a kind of blessing, and the meaning is enough; Some people will decide the amount of red envelopes based on their financial situation and relationship with the other party.
In terms of red envelopes and New Year's goods, the reporter found that young people are becoming the main force. According to the data released by **, among the users who bought New Year's goods in January this year, the post-95 generation accounted for more than half. This also means that the post-95 generation may be becoming the main group of people in family New Year's goods decisions. Many young people think that the Chinese New Year should have a sense of ritual, and they are willing to spend some thought and money on red envelopes and New Year's goods.
Miss Xu is a post-90s new Hangzhou native, she plans to give her parents a red envelope of 1,888 yuan each, a red envelope of 1,000 yuan for her nephews and nieces, and 5,000 yuan for the purchase of New Year's goods. In addition to giving red envelopes, she also took the initiative to take on the responsibility of doing New Year's goods for her family. She bought the cultural and creative red envelopes launched by the Palace Museum as her red envelopes for the Year of the Dragon. Although these red envelopes do not have a dragon motif on them, they have traditional auspicious elements such as persimmons and magpies on them, which are very festive. In addition, she plans to buy some creative red packets, such as fan-shaped ones with calligraphy, and even a cloth bag with dragon elements that can be used as a small backpack. She said that the design of red envelopes is getting better and better, and cloth bags like this can be recycled, which is very practical. She also mentioned that last year she bought some folding red envelopes, and each card slot had 10 hundred-yuan bills, which she would surprise her parents when she handed them them.
Miss Chen is also a post-90s generation, she believes that the Chinese New Year should have a New Year's flavor, in addition to giving red envelopes, but also "hollowing out" her mind. Although her income is not much this year, she still decided to give her parents a big red envelope to give them peace of mind. She chose the Palace Museum's cultural and creative red envelopes as her red envelopes for the Year of the Dragon, and the traditional elements such as persimmons and magpies on them are very auspicious, in line with the atmosphere of traditional Chinese festivals.
