Why is the lucky money under the pillow?

It is a custom for children to put lucky money under their pillows.

This custom originated from a belief of ancient people that there is a mysterious creature "haunted" or "pressing the bed" hidden in the bed, especially under the pillow, which can protect children from evil forces. When the lucky money is placed under the pillow, you can get this protection and bring good luck and happiness.

Of course, modern people have different degrees of recognition of this belief, but putting lucky money under pillows has become a custom during the Spring Festival, which makes children feel the festive atmosphere and enhances their sense of happiness and unity.
