“Li xi” (lucky money) is an important part in Vietnam’s customs of Tet Festival, especially with children. It is a small amount of money that can bring good fortune. However, “li xi” is not limited only on the first day, but can even last to the 9th or 10th day of Tet Festival. Besides the money, the tiny red envelope also has its own meaning. The red color, the most popular color appearing in Vietnamese festivals, signifies the prosperity and great luck according to Asian’s beliefs. In the morning of the first day of Lunar New Year, children and parents will visit grandparents’ home, wishing for a happy new year and great health, showing respect and gratitude, and giving gifts. After that, it is grandparents and adults’ turn to give children lucky money to welcome their new age.
