Fu Character Bowls & Cups
The character Fú (福) represents fortune, good luck, blessing and occasionally it implies joy. Most commonly utilised during Chinese New Year celebrations, when it is hung upside down on the entryway of many Chinese homes. Because the meanings “upside down” and “to arrive” are virtually fully homophonic or “they sound the same” in practically all Chinese dialects, the character Fu literally signifies “good fortune arrives” when hung in this manner. Consequently, hanging the symbol upside down has come to signify a household’s hope for good fortune, happiness, and wealth in the New Year.
