Not only giving a gift money envelope, during this celebration there are other items that you can give to your relations or friends. You are allowed to give liquor, cigarettes, tea, fruits and healthcare products as well. Meanwhile, the reason why chinese give money envelopes means that they represent luck and good wishes ahead. Red colors are believed to bring luck and prosper for Chinese, thus why you might have accepted the envelope on a red envelope based with various accents in gold colors too. In its culture, you also need to avoid giving envelopes with amounts like 4, 40, or 400. This is because in Chinese language, the word ‘4’ has a similar pronunciation like death.
