同学们,你们知道中国的五福分别是哪五福吗? 你了解中国的五福文化吗?今天让我们一起走进中国的五福文化吧!
Chinese people often say “wufu linmen”. What is “wufu”?
“Wufu”, coming from The Book of Documents(《尚书》), means a long life, wealth, health, love of virtue and a peaceful death. Some Chinese people have long used five bats to stand for(代表) “wufu”. Because “bianfu”, the Chinese name for bats, includes the pronunciation of “fu”.
The character "fu" appears in all kinds of things such as paper-cuts and posters. It shows Chinese people's wishes for happiness and good luck. For example, people paste the “fu” character on doors, windows and walls during the Spring Festival. People often paste it upside down. The Chinese words for “upside-down” and “to arrive” are both pronounced “dao”. So the phrase “‘fu’ upside-down” sounds the same as the phrase “good luck arrives”.

1. F 2. T 3. T 4. F 解析：“福”倒着贴是因为它意味着好运到，而不是因为中国人觉得它好玩。 5. T 解析：appears和shows up都有“出现”的意思，所以这句话表述正确。
