    Hongbao, usually a red envelope(信封) with some money inside, is a kind of traditional gift in China. It is a way to show love, good{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wish) or blessings(祈祷). This tradition{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(start) more than 2, 000 years ago when old people used to give money to their grandchildren for good luck in the coming New Year.

    Now something has changed. People prefer to send virtual(虚拟的) hongbao instead{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the traditional one and it helps people give or receive hongbao more{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(easy) on the mobile phones.
