Lucky Signs for the House

Since Chinese New Year is coming in a few days, thought I share a little bit about my holiday and culture.
Below are some typical good luck signs that we put in the house before the new year and it will remain on the wall for the rest of the year. Basically, all the signs have good meanings behind them. Also, tangerines are very important for this holiday; we usually put them in pairs on the tables of each room, hang them on the wall or near the window. It's crucial to get the ones with stems and green leafs, the greens signify fresh start along with the lucky fruit.


"Fu" means good fortune. Putting the symbol up side down means the arrival of luck.
Something to hang on the wall or the door, ancient Chinese coins attaching to lucky signs.
The golden boy and girl poster symbolizes good fortune and  you can see the money tree in the middle.
It's not Chinese New Year without tangerines.
