===Vietnam=== [[File:Tết Greetings.png|thumb|Tết greetings shown in the Vietnamese alphabet, chữ Hán and chữ Nôm]] {{See also|Tết#Greetings}} Red envelopes are a traditional part of Vietnamese culture. They are considered to be lucky money and are typically given to children during [[Vietnamese New Year]]. They are generally given by elders and adults, where a greeting or offering health and longevity is exchanged. Common greetings include ''"{{lang|vi|Sống lâu trăm tuổi}}"'' ({{vi-nom|𤯩𥹰𤾓歲}}), ''"{{lang|vi|An khang thịnh vượng}}"'' ({{lang|vi-hant|安康興旺}}), ''"{{lang|vi|Vạn sự như ý}}"'' ({{lang|vi-hant|萬事如意}}) and ''"{{lang|vi|Sức khỏe dồi dào}}"'' ({{vi-nom|飭劸洡𤁠}}), wishing health and prosperity. The typical name for lucky money is ''lì xì'' ({{lang|vi-hant|利市}}) or, less commonly, ''{{lang|vi|mừng tuổi}}'' ({{vi-nom|𢜠歲}}).<ref>{{Cite web|title="Li xi" – Lucky Money for Tet|url=https://www.vietnamonline.com/tet/li-xi-lucky-money-for-tet.html|access-date=3 April 2021|website=www.vietnamonline.com|archive-date=11 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411215937/https://www.vietnamonline.com/tet/li-xi-lucky-money-for-tet.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
