How much do Cantonese people give their children in red envelopes?

Traditionally, the red packets given to children by Cantonese people are called "New Year's money" and are usually given to children during the Spring Festival. The amount of money is not fixed, but depends on the family's financial situation and the closeness of the relationship.

Generally speaking, Cantonese people give children red packets of between **50 and 500 yuan**. However, in some cases, the amount can be higher, especially for closer family members or elders.

In recent years, as people's economic standards have risen, the amount of red envelopes given to Cantonese people has increased accordingly. In some affluent families, the red packet amount may even reach thousands of dollars. Overall, Cantonese people pay attention to traditions and customs, and consider giving red envelopes to children as a way to bless and keep them safe.
