[quote=CATHY521,385366]“Happiness” upside down 福字倒贴的习俗 fú zì dào tiē de xí sú Pinyin:zài zhōnɡ ɡuó ， ɡuò nián de shí hou ， jiā jiā hù hù dū huì zài mén shànɡ dǎo zhe tiē yí ɡè “ fú ” zì ， “ dǎo ” hé “ dào ” xié yīn ， biǎo shì fú qi dào le de yì si 。 jù shuō ， mínɡ cháo （ ɡōnɡ yuán 1368 — 1644 nián ） yǐ qián ， lǎo bǎi xìnɡ mén kǒu tiē de fú zì dōu shì zhènɡ de ， dǎo zhe tiē zhè ɡe xí sú shì cónɡ mínɡ cháo kāi shǐ de 。 Chinese Characters:在中国，过年的时候，家家户户都会在门上倒着贴一个“福”字，“倒”和“到”谐音，表示福气到了的意思。据说，明朝（公元1368—1644年）以前，老百姓门口贴的福字都是正的，倒着贴这个习俗是从明朝开始的。 English Version: When New Year comes, people in China will hang the world “Happiness” upside down on the door. “Upside down” is a homonym for “to arrive” in Chinese, so this is a pun for “Happiness arrives”.It was said that this custom started in the Ming Dynasty(A.D.1368---1644). Before that, no one hung “Happiness” upside down.[/quote]
