[quote=LEMONCACTUS,268455]Yes, there is a special significance to the upside down "福" on the door, it absolutely has logic. "倒" dao (4th tone) in Chinese means to turn something upside down "到" dao (4th tone) in Chinese means to arrive The pronunciation of 到 and 倒 is identical. Therefore if you turn "福" upside down, in Chinese you say "福倒了" which sounds exactly the same as "福到了". The first means "happiness is upside down" BUT The second means "happiness has arrived" hope that makes sense :)[/quote]
