The more general meaning of giving red envelopes is to give the younger generation a kind of care. New year red envelop wishes all contain the meaning of peace and auspiciousness; the second is the etiquette of happy weddings and celebrations, as well as the expression of the first meeting of relatives and friends, and the expression of mutual greetings; The other is a thank that comes entirely from inner feelings.
The red envelope culture has a long history. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a little demon with black body and white hands. The name was "Sui".
It came out to harm people every year on the Lunar New Year’s Eve. It touched the head of a sleeping child three times. The child started to cry with fright. Fever, babbling, and sickness make the child a fool. People are afraid of harm to their children, so they light up the lights and sit still, which is called "shousui".
In Jiaxing Mansion, there is a family which name is Guan, and the couple has a son in old age, which is regarded as the jewel in the palm of the hand. On the New Year’s Eve, they were afraid of harm to the children. They wrapped eight coins in red paper and forced them to play until they fell asleep and put them beside the pillows.
In the middle of the night, when Sui touched the child's head, a bright light appeared by the child's pillow, and Sui screamed and ran away. The Guan family told their neighbors about the incident. Gradually, red envelopes became a tradition.

I bought these to just put money in, but the quality surprised me. They were so spacious I was able to essential put another envelop of money and gifts inside without them bulging . The quality of the tassels, lucky knot, embroidery, button/clasp, were all great if not beyond the price. Well worth it!
