<p>Giving out 红包 to someone (usually 18-) means bringing luck and wish to them. And the money in it is only to make kids happy.</p>

<p>Below is the original article:</p>
<p>派&quot;红包&quot;是华人新年的一种习俗，华人喜爱红色，因为红色象征活力、愉快与好运。
派发红包给未成年的晚辈（根据华人的观念，已婚者就算成年），是表示把祝愿和好运带给他们。红包里的钱，只是要让孩子们开心，其主要意义是在红纸，因为它象征好运。因此，在分派红包的长辈面前打开红包，是不礼貌的做法。</p>
