Cultural note: The Red Eggs (that are really black)
When a child is born, ancient customs and traditions encourage the parents to hand a little red bag to friends and co-workers. On the red bag is the face of a baby and it usually contains 3 black eggs, that are also wrapped in red.
The color red in China is the symbol for luck, happiness, and good things.
The shape of the egg is round, and round stands as a symbol for perfection.
The number 3 is a very lucky and auspicious number in Chinese tradition.
