The Legend of the Demon Sui

The Legend of the Demon Sui is an original hongbao design that depicts the legend of the Demon Suì, a demon who was scared away by lights reflecting off coins. Hongbao are red envelopes that hold money. In Chinese culture, they are given as gifts on holidays or special occasions. “恭喜發財” is a Chinese New Year greeting that translates to “wishing you wealth and prosperity”.
