The character is a symbol of happiness, bliss and  fortune. Sticking the poster upside down means the arrival of luck,  happiness, and prosperity, because the Chinese word&nbsp;&quot;Dao&quot;, or &quot;upside  down&quot;, sounds similar as&nbsp;&quot;Dao&quot;, or &quot;arrive&quot;. Meanwhile, some decorative  motifs are added to the character &quot;Fu&quot;, such as God of Longevity,  birthday peaches, the carp jumping over the dragon gate and dragon and  phoenix etc.<\/div>\n<div>Paper-cut for window decoration comes in different colors and  patterns. It&#8217;s a folk art with thousands of years&#8217; &nbsp;history. A large  number of such paper-cut works are dedicated to rural life, such as  farming, weaving, goat grazing and chicken raising etc. In addition,  mythological legends, opera stories, flowers, birds, insects, fish and  the twelve zodiac signs are common subjects.<\/div>\n<p>  <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-2097212396\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the Spring Festival, every household usually sticks posters of various sizes bearing the Chinese character &quot;Fu&quot;(meaning &quot;good fortune&quot;) on<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chinese-culture","category-traditional-chinese-festivals"],"views":216,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6510\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
