Today we'll be talking about different envelopes and when to use them and whatever the knot means.

今天我們要講的是不同的信封，什麼時候用，什麼結什麼意思。

So there are two different types of ways to tie your bow, and they both mean different things.

所以，蝴蝶結有兩種不同的打法，它們都有不同的意義。

The first one is the bow knot, which means it could be retied many times, indicating that it's for happy things like celebrating birthdays, New Years, and celebrations like those, very symbolic.

第一個是蝴蝶結，意思是可以重打很多次，表示是為了慶祝生日、新年等喜事，很有象徵意義。

Number two is called musubikiri, which it's kind of like it goes upwards, like the end of the bow goes up.

第二種叫musubikiri，它有點像往上走，像弓尾往上走。

Those are for celebrations that only happen once in life, so marriages hopefully, and also death.

這些都是為了人生只有一次的慶祝活動，所以結婚希望，也有死亡。

If it's a sad celebration then the bow is usually black.

如果是悲傷的慶典，那麼蝴蝶結通常是黑色的。

And also the money that goes inside and the way it's arranged also has a meaning, so even numbers usually are considered bad luck because they could be divided in half.

而且裡面的錢和排列方式也是有含義的，所以偶數通常被認為是不吉利的，因為它們可能會被一分為二。

So instead of two, six, eight you want to give like three, five, seven and so forth.

所以，你要給的不是二、六、八，而是像三、五、七之類的。

If it's happy then the money should be facing frontwards, and if it's sad then the money you should be facing backwards.

如果是快樂的，那麼錢應該是朝前的，如果是悲傷的，那麼錢你應該是朝後的。

And that was just a quick video on what it means, envelopes, money, stuff like that.

這只是一個快速的視頻，它是什麼意思，信封，錢，類似的東西。

Very important to know, I actually learned a lot from this quick video.
