The Chinese New Year is just around the corner. It is one of the biggest festivals celebrated in China and East Asian countries like Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau.

It is a common practice for married adults to give decorative red color envelopes common called "Ang Pow" (or red packets) filled with money to children. This practice has been around for centuries.

Ever wondered when and how the practice of giving Ang Pow during Chinese New Year came to be?

"filled with money". LOL, you give kids $5. We used to go to the bank and ask for a bunch of new $5s this time of year. Now all we know are teenagers and young adults.

Thanks for sharing! I've always known about the tradition but not the origin of it.
