The seal script with the character "福" is as shown below:
In the small seal script stage of the Qin Dynasty, the two people back to back were omitted, and the wine jar was actually changed into "畐" (fù, read subtitle). So "福" became a pictophonetic character with "shi" as its meaning and "畐" as its pronunciation. Later, this small seal configuration was used as the basic script to develop into Han Li and regular script, and "畐" was also used as the phonetic diaphragm of the phonetic characters such as "Fu, Fu, Fu, Fu..." and has been used to this day.
