Lucky money comes from a long time ago, the earliest from the ancient winning art. The art of winning is a kind of witchcraft. This technology is evil. You can curse people or things with winning art. In the Han dynasty, ladies-in-waiting would tie money on their clothes and pray for good luck. To suppress a year's bad luck is to suppress the flight of time and make yourself lucky. This practice of giving lucky money to the elderly can not only reflect the care of our elders, but also make the younger generation spend the year happily.
China's culture is profound, and some things are better to believe than not to believe. There is such an event in the history of our country. The Queen Wang and the Taoist conspired to kill Wu Zetian. As a result, the emperor knew, and in the end, life was worse than death. In fact, this technology has been around for generations. The papermaker we see on TV series now is also one of them. In some dynasties, the harem made it clear that people could not be harmed by winning.
With the passage of time, in the 2 1 century, we accepted the progressive scientific culture and abandoned the relatively backward culture. The art of winning has not been handed down, and even some people don't know it.
