Knowing Shunde, do local wedding banquets really not accept red envelopes?

Generally speaking, many people want to collect more red envelopes and increase their income to reduce the burden of holding wedding banquets, but Shunde is really an accident. Because Shunde is a place, they don't mean that everyone doesn't accept red envelopes. Although some only accept 10 yuan, some places basically touch your red envelope, and some tear it open and return it to you without taking your red envelope. Then why is this phenomenon?

The local people have formed the habit of not accepting red envelopes for wedding banquets.

Many habits will have the effect of following suit, and the effect is obvious. When most people in Shunde do not accept red envelopes at wedding banquets, they will follow up with those who do, and naturally they will not accept other people's red envelopes.

The origin of this custom actually originated from Lecong in Foshan.

According to relevant historical records, in the 1990s, a happy follower did a good job in business. Later, I met the right person and held a wedding reception. He actually marked the invitation with four big characters and did not give gifts. Later, with the continuous improvement of the economic level, people worked hard and lived and worked in peace and contentment, which naturally became popular. Whether it's a wedding banquet, other birthday banquets or full moon wine, we don't accept red envelopes.

Therefore, in Shunde, because of the influence of local criminal proceedings, when they hold wedding banquets, they basically don't accept red envelopes and pay special attention to etiquette. When someone gives them a red envelope, they will touch it out of courtesy and then return it to the other party, saying that the red envelope has been received. This way is really decent, thoughtful and elegant, because I have lived in Shunde for more than five years and attended some wedding banquets, which are basically the same, so that everyone can have fun and eat happily.
