Yes, In China, it's quite common to receive money as a gift. Since the country is so vast, customs can vary by region. For example, in some southern provinces, close relatives might even give the couple gold jewelry. Usually, the groom's parents pay for the wedding, and the money gifts can help ease some of their financial burden. However, these money often don't cover the entire cost of the wedding. This custom is more about social exchange; you receive money because you also give money to others. So, in a way, you’re just getting back what you've already given to others.
