    Why do I need a HongbaoNFT?

    To ward off evil, a token of good fortune, and a thank you for visiting.
    Source Wikipedia: Once every year at the beginning of Chinese New Year, the nian
    would come out of its hiding place to feed, mostly on men and animals. During the
    winter, when food was scarce, it would raid villages, eating the crops and sometimes the
    villagers themselves - particularly their children. In Suzhou, the children kept the red
    envelope in their bedroom after they received. They believed that putting the red
    envelope under their bed can protect the children.
    Since it was discovered that the beast was afraid of the color red, people would put red
    lanterns and spring scrolls on their windows and doors. The red color of the envelope
    symbolizes good luck and is a symbol to ward off evil spirits. It is also gifted when a
    person is visiting as a gesture of kindness for visiting, and as a token of good fortune for
    the upcoming year.
