The Cultural Significance of Red Envelopes

Red envelopes (hongbao in Mandarin, lai see in Cantonese, and ang pow in Hokkien) are an important tradition in Chinese culture. They are usually filled with money and given as a way to share good wishes for health, happiness, and success. The red color stands for good luck, energy and happiness!  

Many people now prefer shopping for gifts online and having them delivered directly to their loved ones. Similarly, the tradition of giving red envelopes has also gone digital. With digital red envelopes, friends and family are now able to receive these instantly no matter where they are.  

Although red envelopes are most frequently connected to the New Year, they also appear at many other events, including marriages and births, as a means of exchanging blessings and good fortune.
