A far more pervasive feature is the red envelope.
If you are married to a Chinese you will be surprised by the sheer number of events that give people an automatic right to obtain red money-filled envelopes:

- the marriage;
- death of someone;
- promotion (of a civil servant);
- birth of a child;
- birthday;
