The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. According to the Lunar Calendar or Chinese calendar this mark the beginning of a new year. In other words, it is a New Year to the Chinese.

To celebrate the Spring Festival or Chinese New Year, the Chinese get together with their families and have a reunion dinner.

“福” (fú) (meaning blessedness) is the most favorite and popular Chinese word/character to be used during Spring Festival.

But really is the meaning of “福” (fú) (meaning blessedness) ?



















True Meaning of "福" (fú) or True blessedness

The right half of "福" (fú) (meaning blessedness) may be reduced to "一口田" (yī kǒu tián), which means literally, 'one mouth [and] padi-field.' One who has a padi-field to provide for himself can be happy. But this happiness is temporary and partial. A buffalo can have the same level of happiness if it is given a field to graze in.

True blessedness goes beyond the emotional feeling of happiness.

The left half of "福" (fú), "礻" (shì), which means 'God', gives the answer to true blessedness. In addition to being materially satisfied, one needs God in order to be truly blessed.

True blessedness is an everlasting joy that comes about because our sins are forgiven and we have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ.

真正的福份
“福”右边是“一口田”, 一个人有了田要干活才有食有喝,
这只是物质上的福。

“福”左边是“礻”,更重要
因它代表神,除了物质的满足,
人需要神才得真正的福份。

真正的福份是永恒的喜乐当我们
的罪在主基督耶稣里得赦免了,
就藉着主耶稣基督我们得与神相和.

神爱世人,甚至将他的独生子
赐给他们 ,叫一切信他的,
不至灭亡,反得永生。 (约翰福音 3:16)
