Id 'ing of Chinese inscription on ring:
Bluediamounds 55, I got the following information from my Chinese piano students this evening about that beautiful ring inscription:
The inscription means "HAPPINESS"... phonetically it is pronounced "FU"
There are 4 things that are important for Chinese people to strive for:
#1 Overall happiness ( phonetically pronounced "FU") ...this is the inscription on your ring.
#2 A highly esteemed official postion ..as in a government position ( phonetcally pronounced "LU"
#3 Long life ( [phonetically pronounced "Suh"
#4 a singular particular event that brings happiness such as a wedding, new birth ( phonetically pronounced "See"
I was told that #1 is the most popular of the above 4 to be used as an inscription on a ring.
I hope this info has been helpful to you
