Chinese New Year is one of our most important traditional festivals, it is not only a time for family reunion, but also an important way to express family affection and friendship blessings. During this festival, red envelopes and gifts have become a traditional way to convey blessings and good intentions.
I still remember when I was a child, my elders gave 100 yuan to press the New Year's money, and my relatives had to be happy for a long time to buy a dress.
However, with the passage of time and the development of society, the red envelope culture during the Spring Festival has also undergone some changes, especially with the growth of the economy and the influence of "face culture", the amount and value of red envelopes and gifts are getting larger and larger, which has brought a lot of economic pressure to many people.
At the end of the year, seeing that the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, what everyone cares about now is not whether they buy their New Year's goods or notBut how many red envelopes should be sent during the Spring Festival? How much? How to give?
Ms. Zhang, a native of Zhejiang, complained on the Internet about the current red envelope culture, 500-1000 yuan is very common, and with the birth of a pair of twins by relatives this year, her wallet will not be able to stand it.
Ms. Zhang introduced that the relatives had an only daughter before, and with the birth of a pair of twins not long ago, the only daughter became a sister, although she was happy for her relatives, but in this way, the New Year's red envelopes should also prepare two more moreBut she only has one child, which greatly increases her financial burden
Ms. Zhang was entangled: "I have only one baby in my family, and the other party has three babies, should I press 1,000 yuan for 1 person or 1,000 yuan for 3 people?" ”
For this matter, many netizens also gave advice and gave suggestions according to their own situation, but the situation and conditions of each family are different, so it is inevitable that disputes will occur when it comes to discussion.
Some netizens said: It's very good to do 500 for each person, exactly 1500 for three people, he came back for 1000, and posted 500 at most, what is there to worry about, the amount of gas is a little bigger.
However, there were soon different voices below, and some netizens questioned: What if I come back to 500? I have encountered it, I gave 600 to each of the two babies, I gave 600 to a baby, and the other party also gave 600, but I didn't meet it again during the Chinese New Year.
Some netizens retorted that this is generosity to others....Who wouldn't say that this post is 500, and that post 500 a month's money is all used to be a wealth boy.
Of course, families with fewer children are entangled and suffered, and some families with more children are also concerned about the amount and distribution of red envelopes.
My two children (three hundred and one), one of their family I said six hundred, my father said that their conditions are poor Bao 804 is not from the year my eldest was born, to the eldest four or five years old began to package to us (they gave us first), every time the child came over the father said to add a little, I said that we are also frugal to eat, really annoyed.
I have two families, one from the other party, he gave me 300 for one person, 600 in total, I gave the other party 500, and then the other party directly said not to package it in the second year, so the other party thought that you made the difference of 100 people, but in fact, this 100 is the same as a hot potato.
In fact, from the views of netizens, it can reflect the diversity of people's views on this issue, worrying that their efforts are disproportionate to their gains, which to a certain extent explains the consideration of interests in interpersonal communication in modern society.
The Chinese New Year red envelope culture has gradually become an economic burden and social pressure, ignoring the emotional value and cultural significance behind it.
The essence of the Spring Festival is a time for family reunions, family and friends to get together, red envelopes are just a way to express blessings and goodwill, and their real value lies in the emotions and blessings transmitted, and should not be an economic burden.
But anyone will say good words, but in the face of reality, we are all ordinary people, in the face of the current red envelope culture, it is not something we can control, we can only hope that through the guidance and advocacy of the first, to slowly change, and establish a rational and healthy red envelope concept.
