China is a country with a long history. It has great traditional culture,especially Chinese charac?ters. Chinese characters usually have more than one meaning and some of them are very interesting. Here are six ones. We use " pinyin" here because

"pinyin" is the Chinese spelling way for the charac?ters. For example, "fu" is the "pinyin" for good luck in Chinese, "pinyin" "fu" is only the phonic part of the character and if you want to know the meaning of good luck "fu", you must read Chinese character福because "fu" also represents (代表) other Chinese characters that sound the same.

"fu" means blessing,good fortune,good luck. Chinese character "fu”is one of the most popular ones used during Chinese New Year. Chinese people often put up "fu" upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment. The upside down " fu" means good luck comes since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for "come".

"lu”is used to mean official's pay in old China, "shou" means long life,age or birthday. "xi”is happiness. The doubled character "xi" means double happiness. It is usually put up everywhere at Chi?nese weddings. "cai”is wealth or money. Chinese often say "money can make a ghost turn a mill?stone". It is to say money really can do a lot of things. But,money can't buy everything, "he" is an important part of Chinese culture. It means good re?lations with other people,when you have "he”, things will be a lot easier for you.
