The character means “fortune” or “good luck” and it is a tradition to put red squares with the character written on them on the entrances of homes. Families, like this one, hang their sign upside down because the words for “upside down” and “arrive” are homophones in Chinese. The upside down literally symbolizes a wish for prosperity to come to the family.
