お年玉（紅包）のマナー

Do's & Don'ts

• Do use crisp, new bills — old or wrinkled money is considered disrespectful.
• Do give even-numbered amounts (especially those with 8) and avoid the number 4.
• Don't give amounts with the number 4 — it sounds like 'death' in Chinese.
• Do present and receive red envelopes with both hands.
• Don't open a red envelope in front of the giver — it's considered rude.
• Do use digital hongbao (WeChat) for casual occasions among friends.
