Money (Ya Sui Qian)
In old China, on the New Year
Eve, people tied money together with color thread and put the money at the food of the
bed. This tradition is no longer seen now. However, the more common way from the old time
till now is that the older people give money to children. In this way, the older people
think it can reduce their ages.
