Speaking with Dan Tri reporter, Associate Professor Dr. Le Quy Duc, former Deputy Director of the Institute of Culture and Development, Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, said that the custom of giving lucky money at the beginning of the year is an indispensable part of Vietnamese culture every Tet holiday.
Lucky money is a symbol of luck, peace and happiness, something that everyone wants to have on the first day of the new year.
Lucky money envelopes are usually red - the color of luck, with money inside. Putting lucky money in an envelope shows discretion, helps people not to compare, and avoids unnecessary conflicts.
"During Tet, we often give lucky money to the elderly, children, and friends as a New Year's greeting," the expert said.
In fact, there was once a controversial opinion about "abandoning the custom of giving lucky money". Associate Professor, Dr. Le Quy Duc said that we should not lose a good custom and tradition every traditional Tet holiday like giving lucky money.
Importantly, adults should recognize its true meaning, returning to the inherent beauty of lucky money to make Tet holidays more enjoyable. Parents should guide their children on how to use lucky money properly, so that children understand the true meaning of this custom and are aware of their own responsibilities.

Mr. Tran Hai Nguyen, Director of a life skills training unit in Ho Chi Minh City, said parents should educate children about the meaning and civilized and polite way to receive lucky money.
Parents also need to listen to their children’s opinions and plans for how to use their lucky money. Parents can suggest that their children give part of their lucky money to their grandparents or someone they love or to do charity work.
With the remaining money, parents advise their children to divide it into several parts. One part of the money can be used to satisfy their wishes, such as buying toys, valuable items (phones, computers, bicycles, traveling...). The remaining part can be saved in a piggy bank or sent to parents as a savings book.
"When parents guide their children on how to use lucky money, it will help them see that what they do has a clearer purpose and brings more value," said Mr. Nguyen.
Experts advise parents to teach their children to use lucky money effectively and to be worthy of the affection that adults give them. Then, children will also know how to appreciate the meaning of lucky money.
