A little history about the word 福 "Fu"

福 "Fu" is a lucky word for Chinese. It means fortune, luck, blessings and happiness. The tradition of pasting the character "Fu" on walls and doors especially during Chinese New Year has existed among Chinese for a very long time. Chinese like to paste the "Fu" character calligraphed on red paper upside down intentionally.

"Fu" 福 is written on the paper squares, which can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu dao le" pronounced as "fu comes". The upside down fu thus implies "good fortune has arrived".

Last but not least, I would like to wish all my friends 新年快乐,心想事成,万事如意,恭喜发财,甜甜蜜蜜,大吉大利...:)
