In addition, 120,000 1-yuan red envelopes with the theme of "Jade Rabbit Welcomes the Spring" were printed, which will be distributed to the public in various temples during the Spring Festival, adding to the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Many people go to Cai Qichang's service offices in various districts to ask for it, and the quantity is limited and will be delivered while supplies last.

Cai Qichang said that due to the impact of the epidemic in the past two years, in order to implement epidemic prevention measures, the itinerary to distribute small red envelopes to various places was canceled. This year, the epidemic slowed down and many epidemic prevention measures were relaxed, and everyone began to welcome a new life of epidemic prevention. It will be released at Kaijifud Temple in Qingshui District at 11:00 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. It will also be sent to many temples in Taichung on the first and second day of the new year.
