Very useful! Almost unbelievable, the MDGB shows about 190 different expressions with ...然 at the end.
So it's nice to get the overall meaning of 然 in the sense of 'how an action or behaviour appears to be / how a situation looks to the observer'.

November 20, 2014 at 7:33 AMI wondered about the term 压岁钱 and found an explanation posted by the unforgettable CHANGYE in the "New Years Cash" UI podcast:
Changye:
Let me give a supplemental explanation about 压岁钱 from 百度百科. The goblin the mother mentioned in the dialogue was called "祟" (sui4), and "祟" has the same sound (谐音) as "岁" (sui4, age, year).
And, 压 (ya1) connotes "repress" in Chinese, so 压岁(= 祟)钱 means "压抑邪祟(= 岁)的钱" (the money for repressing an evil goblin). By the same token, you can also use the word "押岁钱" instead of 压岁钱.
In the case a younger guy gives an elderly person 压岁钱, the word is literally interpreted, "the money for compressing age (= become younger)". In other words, it's 祝你健康长寿. Please give me 压岁钱！
