Woman holding a Chinese red envelope or lai si with double happiness symbol
Red envelopes containing money are gifts handed out in Chinese society. They are typically presented at occasions such as weddings or holidays, in particular, the Chinese New Year. The red color on the packet symbolizes good luck, and the gift is often called 'lucky money'. The double happiness symbol on red envelopes is primarily associated with weddings and is based on the story of a young man's love for a girl in the Tang Dynasty. The double happiness symbol is literally the doubling of the Chinese character, happy.
