What are the rules for giving Spring Festival red envelopes in 2017? How to give Spring Festival red envelopes?
Introduction: As a child, the happiest thing about the Spring Festival is receiving a lot of red envelopes, which are also called New Year’s money. The custom of elders giving red envelopes to younger generations during the Spring Festival has a long history. So, are there any particular rules for giving out red envelopes during the Spring Festival? Please follow the editor to learn more about it below! The festive culture of the Chinese New Year is rich and colorful, and extraordinary. If you want to know more related content, just search in the Spring Festival special topic carefully compiled by Mr. Shui Mo!Red envelope market in 2017: 200 yuan is the mainstreamHu Xiu Lan, a migrant worker from Nanchuan District, works as a nanny at Room 1503, Building 1, Chang'an Lido, Yubei District. She said that in her hometown, the price of red envelopes given to children is basically uniformly 100 yuan. If the relationship is close, two or three hundred yuan will be fine. "Even in rural areas, few people give 50 yuan." Zhou Lin, 37, sales manager of Chongqing Jucheng Automobile Brokerage Company, said that this year's holiday, he plans to give red envelopes of at least 200 yuan to the children of friends, classmates, cousins, etc., 1,000 yuan to his nephews, and 2,000 yuan to his parents. The red envelope expenses are expected to be around 5,000 yuan, compared with 3,800 yuan last year. A website in the city recently conducted a survey on spending arrangements during the Spring Festival, with more than 2,000 netizens participating. When asked "how much will you spend on honoring your parents during the Chinese New Year this year?", 40% of netizens chose less than 1,000 yuan, 45.7% chose 1,000-3,000 yuan, and more than 10% chose more than 3,000 yuan.Red envelope recipients: 18 years old is a hurdleAt what age should younger generations stop receiving New Year’s money? Citizens have different opinions. Some say that 18 years old is a hurdle and one should not be given money after that age. Pan Bijuan, who lives in Rongqiao Peninsula Community in Nan'an District, said that whether or not one is working is the dividing line for giving out New Year's money. Younger generations who have not yet started working and assumed family responsibilities should be given New Year’s money, even college students. Wang Xinmin, a 62-year-old retired civil servant, said that no matter how old the younger generation is or whether they work, as long as they are not married and have a family, they are still children and should be given New Year's money. Zhang Hongtao, an employee of Chongqing Telecom, said that the dividing line for giving or not giving New Year’s money should be 18 years old or college graduation. Because they will enter the society after graduating from university, not giving them New Year’s money is to remind them that they have grown up and should learn to live away from the nest.Red envelope style: preferably without zodiac sign on the coverHow to choose red envelopes? There are many kinds of red envelopes for New Year's money on the market, with different words or patterns on them such as "Peace Every Year", "New Year's Packet", "Good Luck in the Year of the Snake", etc. It is inevitable that it will be difficult to choose. Yao Yuliang, etiquette master of Chongqing Gugo Culture Communication Co., Ltd., believes that the biggest function of red envelopes is to bring good luck, and the words on the cover are just a symbol. If the red envelope is only used once and then thrown away, it is not environmentally friendly. It is recommended that you buy red envelopes without the year or zodiac pattern printed on them, and it is best not to use sticky seals. After receiving this kind of red envelope, people can keep it and give it out next year for recycling. Should I sign the red envelope? Yao Yuliang said that if you give a large red envelope to a younger generation who is particularly close to you, it is best to write a few words of blessing and signature on the back. How many red envelopes should you prepare for the Spring Festival? Yao Yuliang said that it is better to prepare more red envelopes rather than less. You can prepare the number of red envelopes you plan to send out multiplied by 1.5 to avoid giving out cash directly. It is best to put the banknotes into the red envelope in advance to avoid the embarrassment of putting the red envelope in person.Summary: The above article is an introduction to the etiquette of sending red envelopes during the 2017 Spring Festival.
