Fu - the Chinese word for 'luck'

 

Fu is a lucky word. It is very easy to say it.

Around the Chinese New Year, people often put up a poster with this word on it - upside down! It's the only time when a Chinese word is posted upside down intentionally. Like this.

 

How do you write it?

It's not hard. Just follow the order and write it stroke by stroke.

It is not necessary to write with a brush.

You can use a pencil or ball-point pen. As a matter of fact, 99% of the time the Chinese write with a pen like everyone else.
