Ancient Chinese characters are extensive and profound. Why do people in China put "Fu" on their doors?

Because the word "fu" has a good meaning, especially during the Chinese New Year, everyone hopes that there will be good things to bless in the coming year. The word "fu" means that the family is getting richer and richer, the elderly at home are healthy and the children can grow up safely, so posting the word "fu" is a beautiful yearning for future life. This word doesn't have to be profound, but it can pin their good hopes and auspicious meanings.

In China, people who are blessed are the happiest, because blessings include wealth and happiness, as well as health and good luck. In short, all good luck is contained in the word "blessing". Just like when we pay a New Year call in China, people usually say that you are really lucky, and use this word to imply that this person is very lucky. If you only paste "wealth" or "other words", there will not be so many implied blessings and it will not be so auspicious. Moreover, the word "fu" is generally written on red paper, which has the function of ward off evil spirits. If you write the word "Fu" on red paper and stick it on the door, all bad things can escape and good things can come in every day.

And I am very particular about posting the word "Fu". When you put up the gate, you will be asked to put up the word "Fu", so that you can pray for good luck. However, the word "Fu" should be put on the rice jar or the box or cupboard containing money in your home, indicating that the rice jar will always be full and there will always be food at home. Moreover, the word "Fu" is usually stuck in the middle of the door, and it cannot be stuck askew. In addition to the word "fu", couplets will be posted on both sides of the door frame, and a pair of "fu" couplets will be completed.

In ancient times, it was very important to celebrate the New Year. Sticking the word "fu" can drive away all the bad luck in the family, and it is necessary to say auspicious words and do auspicious things, so the word "fu" meets this requirement and can be a good color for the whole family. China is a country that pays special attention to traditional folk customs, so these good and meaningful things handed down by ancestors will be handed down. Therefore, we can keep these customs that have been passed down for thousands of years.
