How to study 福 in context

  1. Say fú, then recall the core meaning: happiness, good fortune, blessings.
  2. Write all 13 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 幸福 (xìng fú), meaning “happiness”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 福 works in that context.
