OneEye Posted November 30, 2010 at 03:47 AM Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 at 03:47 AM Another vote for 家. Also, if you do a Google image search for 家內平安, you'll find a bunch of picture of these figurines. OP, they are all wishing good luck, contentment, wealth, and well-being in the home. 招財 - to wish wealth 福滿 - good fortune, contentment 祿 福 - good fortune, good fortune 財 福 - wealth, good fortune 開運 福來 - to start luck, bring good fortune 招財 寶 - to wish wealth, treasure/precious 家內平安 福 - well-being in the home, good fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
