Hi Friends !

Sorry to tell you that this character is not the most complex. There are a lot of that kind you can see hanging on the doors or windows of shops or flats during celebration.
This one could be used on the opening of a shop for example as you have outside lots of bunches of flowers.
In fact it's not a single character but a combination of several that means "money coming inside".
Like roughly 95% of these kind of "assembled" characters they are related to luck, prosperity and money...

Wish you a good day !

She translates that as "bring in wealth and riches" and says that coming across this character will bring me great good fortune. :) From her lips to God's ears!

GUEST97232	The noodle in Xi'an is called "bang bang mian", not "biang biang mian", which sounds idiotic! That word looks so fat and stupid that it's no wonder nobody uses it.
