甲骨文“福”字,字形像双手捧着酒坛献于祭台,表示求神赐福。本义为保佑,引申为幸福。
The oracle bone script form of the Chinese character “福”(fú) resembles two hands holding a wine jar, offering it on an altar to seek blessings from the gods. Its original meaning is protection and blessing, which later extended to represent happiness. (文字翻译 童林 张蕊)
