About
The character 福, structured with the radical 示 on the left denoting altar or religious ceremony and the component 畐 on the right conveying fullness or abundance, etymologically reflects the act of making ritual offerings to solicit divine favor. Its original meaning was closely associated with sacrificial practices and the bestowal of blessings from spiritual realms, but over centuries its semantic scope expanded to generalize into a concept representing luck, happiness, and prosperity in secular life.
