Six Chinese Characters
Dear students,our country has a long history.Chinese characters usually have more than one meaning and some of them are particularly loved by Chinese people.Here are the top six lucky ones.Please note we use “pinyin” here because “pinyin” is the Chinese spelling system for the characters.For example,“fu” is the “pinyin” for good luck in Chinese.“pinyin” “fu” is only the phonic(语音的)part of the character and if you want to know the meaning of good luck “fu”,you must read the Chinese character 福 because “fu” also represents(代表)other Chinese characters that sound the same.
1.福 “fu” 一一blessing,good fortune,good luck
Chinese character 福 “fu” is one of the most popular ones used during Chinese New Year.It is often displayed upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment.The upside down 福“fu” means good luck came since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for “came”.
2.禄 “lu” means prosperity
It is used to mean official's salary(薪水)in feudal(封建的)china.
3.寿 “shou” means longevity
Chinese character 寿 “shou” also means life,age or birthday.
