About

The Chinese word 福气 (fúqi) is a compound noun formed by combining two meaningful characters: 福 (fú), which denotes "good fortune," "blessing," or "happiness," often in a spiritual or cosmic sense, and 气 (qì), which represents "energy," "life force," or "vital essence." Together, they create a nuanced concept where 气 acts as the dynamic, flowing medium that carries or embodies the abstract blessing of 福. Thus, 福气 doesn't just mean static "luck"; it conveys the idea of one's destined or inherent share of good fortune and the positive, palpable aura of well-being that accompanies a blessed life. This formation reflects the classical Chinese worldview where abstract virtues are often conceptualized as being animated by the fundamental energy of 气.
