Red Packets in Chinese Culture
Giving hongbao (red packets) is a tradition in China. Traditional red packets are often decorated with gold Chinese characters(汉字)，such as \underline{1} and wealth.
How red packets are used
During the Chinese New Year，\underline{2} is(are) put inside red packets which are then handed out to younger generations by their parents，grandparents，relatives，and even close neighbours and friends.
The \underline{3}
Red represents luck and good fortune in Chinese culture. That is \underline{4} red packets are used during the Chinese New Year and other celebrations.
How to give and receive
Giving and receiving red packets is a \underline{5} act. Therefore，red packets are always \underline{6} and received with both hands.
Someone who receives a red packet at the Chinese New Year or on his or her birthday should not \underline{7} it in front of the giver. \underline{8}，things are different at a Chinese wedding，where the guests usually give the red packets to the attendants and sign \underline{9} names on a large scroll (a long piece of paper). The attendants will open the packets at once，\underline{10} the money inside，and record it on a register(登记簿) next to the guests' names.
The amount(数量)
The amount of money is relative to your relationship to the person who receives it—the \underline{11} your relationship is，the more money is expected. Anyway，it is not the amount of the money that matters，but the care and love you hold for others.
What not to gift
Certain amounts of money are to be \underline{12}. Anything with a four is not good because four sounds similar to \underline{13} in Chinese. Even numbers(偶数)，except four，are better than odd numbers—as good things are believed to come in \underline{14}. For example，gifting $20 is better than $21.
The money inside a red packet should \underline{15} be new. Folding the money or giving dirty or wrinkled bills is in bad taste.
Hongbao is a symbol of love from others，as well as a sign of good luck.
