Good Luck / Good Fortune
Means "Good Fortune" in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja. Used most often in Chinese culture.
This is a good luck symbol that you will find on the front doors of many traditional homes in China.
This one is a little nicer than the ones on most doors since it is hand painted calligraphy done by a talented artist/calligrapher.
This Character is pronounced "Fu" in Chinese.
This work is shown right side up. But you might want to hang it upside down in your home as most Chinese people do. When hung upside down, it means "dao" or 'come' - roughly this means luck coming to you. It is similar to what we do in the west when we hang a horseshoe with the open end up to 'keep the luck in'.
One legend in China holds that this symbol will keep the "Goddess of Poverty" away from your home.
