Giving and receiving red packets is a30act. Therefore, red packets are always31and received with both hands.
Someone who receives a red packet at Chinese New Year or on his or her birthday should not32it in front of the giver.33, things are different at a Chinese wedding, where the guests usually give the red packets to the attendants and sign34names on a large scroll ( long piece of paper).

The amount （数量）
The amount of money is relative to your relationship to the person who receives-the36your 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 .

The money inside a red packet should40be new. Folding the money or giving dirty or wrinkled bills is in bad taste.
