This is the Chinese character Fu meaning prosperous. This is an auspicious word, and sometimes people hang it upside down.Upside down is a homonym for arrive in Chinese. That means Good fortune arrives according to some.
My parents were Christians and we didn't hang this.

Complex. I'd be so confused.
I love this post because my granddaughter is Chinese. And I didn't know this interesting fact about upside-down.
This is an interesting tradition, Ann.
All the world is filled with different beliefs and customs. Who is to say they are not all right.
Thanks for sharing - so fun to learn something new about Chinese.
Happy New Year, Ann....it is Genie here, finally. This is such an interesting post. I just love learning new cultural things. What a great idea for Ruby Wednesday....Rednesday.
