An adult in Inner Mongolia directly put a bucket of coins for three children to catch lucky money. Do you know the meaning of lucky money?

Many friends may know the meaning of Chinese New Year, but they don't know the source of lucky money. Let me briefly introduce our traditional customs here? What is the moral of lucky money?

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a monster named Chong in the village, who frequented at the age of 30. The dark environment enables this monster named Chong to attack people. ? Because adults have strong resistance, the precious target is generally children.

On New Year's Eve, Chonghui came to people's rooms and secretly touched children's heads. Children who have been touched will have a fever and headache within a few days, and in severe cases, they will completely lose their intellectual ability. It is because worship is so insidious that adults often take care of their children and spend the night with them on New Year's Eve.

In order to prevent their children from being teased by this monster, people often choose to turn on the lights all night. In order to make children less afraid, adults will give some copper coins to children, and when children have their own money, they will forget their troubles and be happy. At this time, adults don't know that copper coins in children's hands can subdue monsters.

In the middle of the night, this monster named Chong appeared in a villager's house again. Just as it sneaked to the child's forehead, it suddenly repelled it when it reached the golden light. It turned out to be the light from copper coins. Monsters are afraid of copper coins, which play a role in protecting children.

Rumors spread from mouth to mouth, and soon everyone began to use copper coins to drive away this monster named Chong. Since then, children have never been harassed by monsters. And this monster has never appeared in front of people.

In this way, copper coins successfully protected the most innocent generation in a family in a certain era. Although there are no monsters in today's society, adults still abide by this custom and will prepare lucky money in advance and give it to children on New Year's Eve.

With the development of the times, the time for people to collect lucky money has also changed. Some are on the morning of New Year's Day, and some receive red envelopes from relatives from time to time when visiting relatives. No matter what form, no matter what time, this custom can be passed down to this day, which shows that parents have an instinct to protect their children.

Monsters have completely disappeared from people's sight. Even we don't know whether monsters really existed many years ago, but we can still receive lucky money from our parents.
