Fu Character

★ Happiness ★ Blessing ★ Fortune ★ Luck ★

The Chinese character Fu (福) means happiness, blessing, good fortune, and good luck. People across China have the tradition to paste this character on their doors or windows during the Spring Festival to greet the Chinese Lunar New Year. They believe doing this will bring good fortune. It is written on diagonal square red paper and the character is usually pasted upside-down. Since the word for "arrive" in Chinese sounds the same as the word for "upside-down", pasting the character upside-down signifies that "good fortune has arrived". Pasting the character upside-down on a door or doorpost thus translates into a wish for prosperity to descend upon a dwelling. The Fu character can also be used in jewelry to represent the desire that one's good luck will be expansive.
