Is New Year's money belong to children?

In some places, it is also given to juniors. In some places, New Year's money is not only given to adult elders but also to adult juniors. Usually, in the first year after juniors start working, they are given New Year's money to encourage them to work well and avoid "bad people" at work. In the first year of juniors' marriage, New Year's money is given to wish for a harmonious family and to imply a good omen of "adding more members" next year. Some places also give juniors a red envelope before they leave home after the Spring Festival, hoping for everything to be safe and smooth. Qi Niu Kan Xiong believes that New Year's money is just a good omen, and the key is not the amount of money, but the elders' expectations for juniors, and juniors' blessings for elders.

Until what age is New Year's money given?

Regarding the question of until what age New Year's money is given, there are generally three situations:
1. Given even before starting work
Generally, before starting work, there is no source of income, so they are still considered as children, so many families continue to give New Year's money to children when they do not have the ability to earn money independently.
2. No longer given after 18 years old
Some families believe that after 18 years old, one is an adult, and should no longer receive New Year's money.
3. No longer given after marriage
Some families believe that if their children have not yet married, they will continue to give New Year's money.
In fact, New Year's money now is a kind of affection towards children or elders and parents. As long as both sides are willing, it is not a problem to keep giving it.
