　　參考譯文

　　Ya Sui Qian

　　During the Spring Festival, you may be given Ya Sui Qian when you say something auspicious to one of your elders. "Ya Sui" shares a similar pronunciation as the act of suppressing a demon named "Sui". This is the ancient origin of giving Ya Sui Qian to children. In ancient times, people believed children were easily haunted by demons and ghosts, so only with the help of Ya Sui Qian could children enjoy the Spring Festival in peace. This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation, with hopes that children would live in peace, security, health, and luck.
