A Chinese candy box is a traditional box used during Chinese New Year for storing candy and other edible goods. The box usually has a lid; some are more fancy and elaborate than others. It is usually colored with a red or black motif, since traditional candy boxes were lacquerware. Also red symbolizes good fortune and joy (see Color in Chinese culture). Due to the higher price of lacquerware, most modern Chinese candy boxes are made of plastic, but some of them are still made of lacquerware.
全盒,正寫攢盒[1][2],係漢字文化圈過農曆新年嗰時擺嘅盒,入面裝住甜嘅嘢食,傳統上有糖蓮子、糖冬瓜、糖蓮藕、糖椰絲、糖椰角、糖柑桔、糖馬蹄、糖甘筍(合稱「八甜」),重會有瓜子、開心果、笑口棗、油角、煎堆等,而新派就有朱古力金幣、瑞士糖同其他糖。客人拜年時主人家會攞個全盒畀人拎啲嘢食,叫做搲銀。
