Pokémon China Exclusive - 151 Lunar New Year Hongbao Pattern Gift Bag

The colour red symbolises energy, happiness, and good luck in Chinese culture. Traditional red envelopes (Hongbao) are often decorated with beautiful Chinese calligraphy and symbols, and contain a monetary gift to the recipient.

The significance of red envelopes is the red paper, not the money inside. Wrapping lucky money in red envelopes is expected to bestow more happiness and blessings on the recipients. Red envelopes are often given at Lunar New Year, weddings and birthdays.

These 151 red bags were painted in traditional style in gold colour and were released for the Lunar New Year festival during the release year of Chinese 151.
