    'Red bombs' would raid pockets during the holidays

    Modern simplicity

    Wedding gifts have become even simpler with the passage of time. Now, money talks.

    "I received about 50,000 yuan (US$6,173) in gift money from relatives and friends," said Yu Xuebin, 30, who married months ago. "But most of the money I received will be returned back when others marry."

    In China today, the invitation to a wedding ceremony "a printed on a red card" is called "red bombing." When you receive such an invitation, it means you have to pay several hundred yuan, said Rio Xie, 28.

    In today's Shanghai, the wedding gift money required for an ordinary friend or relative comes to at least 200 yuan (US$25). It is at least 500 yuan (US$62) for a good friend or close relatives, but gifts of over 1,000 yuan (US$123) are not rare.

    "I don't think it is good to give money, though many people think money is the most practical gift," Xie said.

    "You receive it this time and you find an opportunity to return it next time. In addition, money is just paper without emotional character, flowers or trendy household appliances would be a much better gift for a new couple."
