  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.
  過去長輩們會把壓歲錢放在叫做紅包的紅色信封裡送給小孩們。但共產黨當局禁止這種行為，因為它延續了「封建-資本主義意識」，即對財富和金錢的崇拜。

  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.
  傳統上團圓飯是在除夕吃的，不過整個春節期間，親戚老友們都會齊聚一堂、吃喝玩樂。送禮是另一個由來已久的習俗，至今仍在新加坡華人間廣泛流傳。紅包或「壓歲錢」——已婚的家庭成員送給年輕人和單身人士的淺紅色信封——是迄今為止最受歡迎的禮物。

  After extensive negotiations, and at the arrival of the groom at the bride's house, the groom is usually admitted only after he offers a red envelope (hong bao) containing money in multiples of 99 or 999. Those numbers symbolize a long, happy marriage.
  經過多方協商，在新郎到新娘家時，要先給一個裝著99或999倍數金額的紅包，才能進去。這些數字意味著長久幸福的婚姻。

  Children in particular love the joyous festivals. With them come treats like traditional New Year goodies (and hongbaos) during the Lunar New Year, a wide variety of rice dumplings to savour during the Dragon Boat Festival, and pretty lanterns to carry in dark places during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
  孩子們尤其喜歡喜慶的節日。過節的時候，像農曆新年有糖果（和紅包），端午節有各種粽子，中秋節可以在暗黑的地方舉著漂亮的燈籠。

  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.
  當中國人過春節回家時 […] 他們可能還會為家人準備紅包。傳統上，紅包是裝在紅色信封里的金錢禮物，受贈者帶着禮儀性的崇敬收受。但現在紅包以社交應用的形式出現。2015年，由騰訊開發的中國最受歡迎的通訊應用程序微信，與中央電視台（CCTV）合作舉辦了有史以來收視率最高的春節聯歡晚會，主持人在特定時間要求觀眾搖動手機以接收紅包。發送和接收的紅包總數超過10億。

  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.
  紅包內附金額的數量不是固定的，而是根據給予者與受贈者的關係而有所不同，也就是說，一般關係越親，收到的錢也就越多。紅包文化在其他地方的華人社會也很常見；類似的做法包括香港的「利是」和新加坡的「紅包（ang pow）」。
