That makes so much sense now! The red envelopes and the specific foods, they must all tie into these ideas of luck and prosperity?

Precisely. The color red symbolizes good fortune, and foods like dumplings or fish are eaten because their names sound similar to words for wealth and abundance. It's a rich tapestry of history, cultural values, and hope for the future.
English
完全正确。红色象征着好运，饺子或鱼等食物之所以被吃，是因为它们的读音与财富和丰盛的词语相似。这是一幅融合了历史、文化价值和对未来希望的丰富画卷。
