"FU" CHARACTER


THE "FU" CHARACTER
This chinese character(Fu) represents luck, good fortune, and blessing. The Fu character is very popular in China, appearing over door ways and on walls, especially during the Chinese New Year.
I purchased two pillow slip covers with the Fu character on them to decorate for Chinese New Year.

The pillow is beautiful, but you should turn it upside down! The Mandarin word for "upside down" is dao, which is a homonym for "arrives". So for maximum good luck, at the Lunar New Year Chinese families display the Fu character upside down within their houses.
