Chinese Upside-down ‘Fu’ Culture

? “Fu”, pronounced as “Foo” is certainly a lucky word for Chinese. It means fortune, luck, blessings and happiness. The tradition of pasting the character “Fu” on walls, doors and doorposts especially during Chinese New Year has existed among Chinese for such a long time. Chinese like to paste the “Fu” character calligraphed on red paper upside down intentionally.

It is because Chinese pronunciation of “upside down” is the same as “arrival”. Thus, an upside down “Fu” means the arrival of good luck! Frankly, I love the idea very much! For this coming Chinese New Year, I will put on some upside down “Fu” on wall and paste ? ?money?upside down on my door.

That’s actually means “Money Money Come!”, right?! :yes: Dang good! Isn’t it? Who doesn’t love money? :haha:
Happy Chinese New Year!
