汉字“福”在中国文化中非常重要。它意味着幸福，人们把它当作一种象征来分享他们对新年的希望。把“福”字贴在墙上、门上和窗户上的历史由来已久。当我们把“福”字贴在门上时，它可以正着贴，也可以倒着贴——因为在汉语中，“倒福”意味着“福到”。
说到“倒福”，有一个故事。在明朝，开国皇帝朱元璋计划杀掉一家人。于是，这家人的门上被贴上了汉字“福”作为标记。他的妻子马皇后想要救这家人。她命令每家每户都在自家的门上贴上“福”字。所有人都遵从了她的命令，但有一户人家不识字。他们把“福”字贴倒了。第二天，当士兵们走到街上时，他们发现到处都贴着“福”字，包括那个倒着的。当皇帝听到这件事时，他非常生气。他命令士兵杀掉那个贴错“福”字的家庭。
马皇后发现情况变得有点更严重了。她迅速解释道：“那家人知道您今天会去他们家，所以他们特意那样做。这不就意味着‘今天福到’了吗？”最后，皇帝决定放了那家人。从那以后，人们就把“福”字倒着贴来祈求好运。

最近，身着精美服饰、面部表情生动的北京绢人，证明了它们和现代玩具一样具有吸引力。
北京绢人有1000多年的历史，其历史可以一直追溯到唐朝。通常，一个传统的绢人主要由天然丝绸制成。
何梅被认为是北京绢人的传承者。当看到这些绢人娃娃时，她对它们的外形如此感兴趣，以至于她决定学习制作它们的技艺。后来，她在2013年成立了自己的公司来生产绢人。
现在她的团队正在努力让北京绢人走得更远。“人们对美国芭比娃娃很熟悉。我想把北京绢人变成‘中国芭比娃娃’，”她说。
中国传统文化是他们设计的主要灵感来源。该团队制作的第一批北京绢人是以京剧里的不同角色为原型的。
为了让其产品更受欢迎，她的团队开发了完整的DIY工具包，这样人们可以在一小时内制作出一个属于自己的绢人。
此外，她的公司甚至还与机器人公司合作，成功地用科技为他们的绢人赋能。“古老的民间艺术与科技的结合会让人们对这种艺术更感兴趣，”何梅说。
