In China, it is an old tradition that the elder member in a family will give children money wrapped in a red envelope as a lunar new year gift. In the old days, New Year's money was given in the form of one hundred copper coins strung together on a red string and symbolized the hope that one would live to be a hundred years old. Today, money is placed inside the gold-colored or red envelopes in denominations considered auspicious and given to represent luck and wealth. Made of gold-colored paper, patterned with beautiful peony or lucky fish and Chinese calligraphy, these gold-colored packets have high artistic values. All these patterns on the gold-colored envelopes are the symbols of wealth and fortune. Gold-colored envelopes containing money are often presented on social and family occasions such as wedding reception or a happy festival such as Chinese New Year.
