Lucky money is one of the customs of the Spring Festival. After dinner in 2008, the elders should distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation. It is said that lucky money can kill evil spirits, and the younger generation can spend the first year safely when they get lucky money. [ 1]?

Lucky money has the meaning of exorcising evil spirits and keeping peace in folk culture. The original intention of lucky money is to suppress evil and drive away evil. Because people think that children are easy to be invisible, they use lucky money to suppress evil spirits.

Historically, there are many kinds of lucky money, which are generally distributed to the younger generation by elders during the countdown to the New Year, indicating that they are precious. It contains the concern and sincere blessing of the elders to the younger generation. The other is given to the elderly by the younger generation.
