It's new year, and it's a tradition for our children to give them money. During the Spring Festival, there are all kinds of delicious, delicious, and fun things that make children feel extremely happy.
But I believe that what makes many children happy the most is that the elders give them money, which undoubtedly adds to the Atmosphere of the New Year for the babies.
But to press the old money, there is still some exquisite, the elders must not make a mistake, there are stories and legends behind it, this can be told to the children.
What is the origin of the old money?
Giving children money for the New Year is actually a folk legend.
In ancient times, the age of pressing the old money was not the age of the present, but the evil one.
Legend has it that "Qi" is a big monster that, on the night of Chinese New Year's EveChinese New Year's Eve, will go door to door to each home, knock on the children's heads, and prevent the children from sleeping, so that the children will be sick.
In order to let the children sleep well and protect the baby on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the parents in ancient times wrapped the copper coin in red paper and put it on the child's pillow.
In this way, when the child sleeps at night, the monster is really crushed by the copper money in the red paper next to the children's pillow, and the child's head is not knocked again, and the children also sleep fragrantly.
As a result, there was a tradition of Chinese New Year's Eve pressing "money" on children, and later slowly evolved into "pressing old money".
Now, pressing the old money also means suppressing evil, disease, little ghosts, etc., so that children can grow up healthy.
Therefore, the elders should give the child money on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and do not wait until the first day of the New Year to give it, otherwise they will not be able to suppress the "Qi"!
How much should I give?
How much money should be given to the right one? Do what you can.
Because with the continuous development of the economy and society, everyone's life is getting richer and richer, some parents in the child to press the age of money, some thousands or even tens of thousands, the story mother thinks that there is no need.
Because the New Year to the children to press the old money, mainly the elders of the children of a blessing, but also let the children can feel the strong New Year atmosphere, this is the most important purpose, how much really does not matter.
And it should also be based on the actual situation of the family, not in the quantity, but in the heart and blessing.
Moreover, if you give too much money, the child will not store, manage, and use the money well, and unconsciously buy things and spend it, which is not conducive to cultivating the correct concept of financial business.
How to give the old money?
So how to give the old money? Many slightly older children also have WeChat Alipay, and some parents directly use their mobile phones to send red envelopes, which is very bad.
One is the atmosphere of the New Year, the other is to let the child have no New Year's feeling, and receiving the pressure money is only a number, and the form is also very bad.
Therefore, to press the old money, or to prepare a red packet bag, both the New Year's festive atmosphere, while preparing some new money, new money and new red packaging to press the new year money, the new year and new atmosphere, so that there is a more sense of ceremony.
At the same time, you can also tell the legend of the pressure of the old money on the pressure of "Qi" to the children, so that the children know the tradition, understand the tradition, and inherit the culture, so that the children have a strong interest in the tradition from an early age.
Finally, parents recommend that the red envelope bag of pressed money be placed at the head of the bed, so as to protect the healthy growth of children, which is both a good omen and a New Year atmosphere.
