Tips

culture
The oldest list, in 《尚书·洪范》, is long life, wealth, health and peace, love of virtue, and dying of old age. New Year decorations wish 五福临门, "may the five blessings come through your door". Alipay's 集五福 campaign, held every Spring Festival since 2016, has people collect five cards, these days mostly by scanning the character 福, and split a cash prize on New Year's Eve.
