Nowadays urban residents like to paste Chinese New Year paper-cut letter "Fu" (good fortune) upside, as 'flu dao" (good fortune arrives). Actually, the diamond square of upside down letter "Fu" was meattt to be a rotating symbol for perpetual life.
In Inner-Mongolia, Chinese New Year door-god paper-cut is a pair of deer or a pair of roosters. In central Shaanxi, it is two tigers, and in Henan two monkeys, or cows, or two babies with coiled hair riding a golden cow. These paper-cuts are made with yellow glossy paper, a common way to pray for patronage from the totem or legendary animals for family safety and keeping away evil spirits and disasters.
