Ancient Chinese folklore says that people put red envelopes, filled with money, under their children’s pillows to prevent the devil from cursing the young ones. For years, the tradition has remained, but now it has a different purpose. These days, red envelopes are used to celebrate the Chinese New Year through an act of giving from elders to younger ones.
