The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a time of joy, family reunions, and the celebration of new beginnings. As we usher in the Year of the Dragon, one traditional custom that has seamlessly transitioned into the digital age is the traditional practice of giving and receiving red envelopes, or “hongbao” in Chinese.
What are Red Envelopes?
For centuries, red envelopes filled with money have been a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Chinese culture. It’s a gesture that signifies best wishes for the recipient’s well-being and success in the coming year. Traditionally exchanged during family gatherings and festive events, the red envelope tradition has evolved with the times.
In the modern era, with families often spread across the globe, sending physical red envelopes can be a logistical challenge. Enter the convenience of digital red envelopes. Now, through innovative financial platforms like OTT Remit, you can seamlessly blend the richness of tradition with the efficiency of technology.
