10 points = 🧧!

🧧 A red envelope (hongbao in Mandarin, lai see in Cantonese, and ang pow in Hokkien) is a gift of money inserted into an ornate red pocket of paper. They are given on important occasions, such as Lunar New Year, birthdays, and weddings in China and some other Asian countries as a way to send good wishes. The color red symbolizes energy, happiness, and good luck. The significance of red envelopes is the red paper, not the money inside. The envelopes should be accepted with both hands, not opened in public, and should not be given in 4s. The number 4 is considered bad luck as it sounds very similar to the word “death.”
