From "Zhao Qian Sun Li" to "Situ" and "Ouyang" - in Hong Kong, people can buy "Lishi" seals with their own surname. "Congratulations on getting rich!" In Hong Kong, "Li Shi" means lucky money, also known as "Li Shi" or "Li Shi", which means good luck. Paili is mainly the expression of the minds of the elders and married people to the younger generation and children. No matter what the "content" in it is, the profit used to hold the New Year's money is a seal, which brings a little happiness for the new year. There are Chinese zodiac overprinting and New Year greetings; The packaging is either bright red, or golden... In many styles, some of the envelopes are sealed with only surnames.
