What's the money in the fortune-telling bag?
As one of the traditional mascots in China, Fu Bao has the meaning of good luck. "Fu" stands for good fortune, which means full of good luck, good luck and good luck. And "Bao" is homophonic "Dai", which refers to the blessing and blessing of one generation to future generations.
The blessing bag is originally filled with money, and it also has the meaning of making money, keeping money and developing the industry, making money into treasure, and making money from generation to generation! The earliest prototype of the blessing bag is the money bag. In ancient times, people put money in a hand-sewn cloth bag embroidered with the word "Fu", then tied the bag with a rope and carried it with them. Later, people gradually called it "Fu Bao".
In order to prevent coins from leaking out, the mouth of the blessing bag is always tied tightly, so the tightly tied blessing bag means to keep wealth and tie happiness.
Extended data:
In modern Japan, every time after the Spring Festival or on an auspicious day when shops are open, Japanese shops and department stores often sell blessing bags. The price in Fu Bao is generally 1-200 yen. Although the price is reasonable, it is not reliable. Some stores often put unsold overstocked goods into Fubao to cheat customers. So people often complain to newspapers, although occasionally lucky people can buy higher value ones.
Because you have to pay before you can open the bag, consumers have no idea what's inside before they buy it. Driven by curiosity, many people donated money for many times, so the business of "Fu Bao" is always good. Some department stores even launched hundreds of thousands of "Fu Bao" in one breath, making enough money.
