  In the old days gifts of money were given to children by the older generation and were placed in red envelopes called hong bao. This practice has been discouraged by the Communists because it perpetuates "feudal-capitalist consciousness," the worship of wealth and money.
  过去长辈们会把压岁钱放在叫做红包的红色信封里送给小孩们。但共产党当局禁止这种行为，因为它延续了“封建-资本主义意识”，即对财富和金钱的崇拜。

  New Year's Eve is the traditional date for reunion dinners, but relatives and old friends enjoy getting together for feasting and entertainment throughout the entire holiday season. Gift giving is another time-honored custom still widely practiced among Singapore's Chinese. Hong bao, or "lucky money," is by far the favored item, bestowed in bright red envelopes by married family members upon the young and single.
  传统上团圆饭是在除夕吃的，不过整个春节期间，亲戚老友们都会齐聚一堂、吃喝玩乐。送礼是另一个由来已久的习俗，至今仍在新加坡华人间广泛流传。红包或“压岁钱”——已婚的家庭成员送给年轻人和单身人士的浅红色信封——是迄今为止最受欢迎的礼物。

  When Chinese return home for the Spring Festival […] they will probably also prepare hongbao for the family. Traditionally these are gifts of money packed in red envelopes given and received with ceremonial reverence. But now hongbao are available in the form of social applications. In 2015, WeChat, China's most popular messaging application, developed by Tencent, collaborated with China Central TV (CCTV) in the most watched lunar new year's gala ever, in which at certain times the host asked the audience to shake their mobile phones to receive hongbao. Over 1 billion hongbao were sent and received.
  当中国人过春节回家时 […] 他们可能还会为家人准备红包。传统上，红包是装在红色信封里的金钱礼物，受赠者带着礼仪性的崇敬收受。但现在红包以社交应用的形式出现。2015年，由腾讯开发的中国最受欢迎的通讯应用程序微信，与中央电视台（CCTV）合作举办了有史以来收视率最高的春节联欢晚会，主持人在特定时间要求观众摇动手机以接收红包。发送和接收的红包总数超过10亿。

  The sum of money in the hongbao is not fixed and it is based on the relationship between the giver and recipient, i.e. the closer the relationship, the greater the sum of money given. The hongbao culture is also commonly found in other Chinese societies; analogous practices include lishi in Hong Kong and ang pow in Singapore.
  红包内附金额的数量不是固定的，而是根据给予者与受赠者的关系而有所不同，也就是说，一般关系越亲，收到的钱也就越多。红包文化在其他地方的华人社会也很常见；类似的做法包括香港的“利是”和新加坡的“红包（ang pow）”。
