China Top 10 Lucky Characters
Chinese characters usually have one or more meanings and some of them are particularly loved by Chinese people. These are the top 10 list of the lucky meaning in China. Be careful Pinyin is also used here, which is the Chinese spelling system for the characters. For example, fu is the pinyin for good luck in Chinese. But fu is only the phonic part of the character and it also represents other Chinese characters that sound the same.
1. Fu means Blessing, Good Fortune, Good Luck
Fu is one of the most popular Chinese characters used in Chinese New Year. It is often posted upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment. The upside down Fu means good luck came since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for came.
