Title:  The Best in Life

 Traditional Chinese have regarded luck, wealth, longevity, and happiness as the four blessings in life. You will find these four characters appearing on many decorative objects, either singly or all four together. 福(fú) / luck , 禄 (lù) / wealth,  寿 (shòu) / longevity ,  喜(xǐ)  / happiness.
