Chinese New Year Golden Flowers: Gong Hei Fat Choy Envelope

In China and other countries, giving gifts of money in beautifully decorated red envelopes or hong bao is traditional on auspicious occasions, including Chinese New Year, weddings, birthdays, graduations, and more. This opulent red and gold design features the phrase Gong Hei Fat Choy (恭喜发财), which translates to "Wishing you happiness and prosperity." This is a greeting for the Chinese New Year/Lunar New Year/Spring Festival often used in Hong Kong and the Guangzhou region of mainland China, where Cantonese is spoken. "Gong Hei Fat Choy" is also commonly used in American Chinatowns. Red and Gold are almost always the colours for these envelopes because red symbolises luck and gold symbolises prosperity. -->NOTE: You can change the year on this template.
