福 means fortune, blessing, and a good life in the broadest sense.
It is more than luck. 福 can encompass health, family, comfort, safety, prosperity, and the feeling that life is whole and well.
That may be why 福 has such a lasting place in Chinese homes. Traditionally displayed near the entrance, it represents a wish for good things to enter and remain in the household.
You may even have seen 福 hung upside down. The Chinese word for upside down, 倒, sounds like 到, meaning "to arrive," turning an upside-down 福 into a playful wish that fortune has arrived.
A meaningful choice for a housewarming, Lunar New Year, or anyone beginning a new chapter.
