Hello everybody I recently bought this pin in a flea market, and I liked so much but I have absolutely no idea of what it means. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what it means.

I uploaded the image of my pin, but just in case it isn´t displayed here is a link to my personal blog page where you can see it. http://chispeante.buzznet.com

Thank you very much for the help. I really appreciate it

Are you an Hispanic ? Since your name is Juan Salazar?

hey, to take it in chinese way, you can swear the pin upside down.
In chinese, "upside down" (倒, dao4) is the homophone of "to come" (到, dao)
So we often put this character upside down, and it means "fortune or luck is coming."

btw, i don't really these items that comes in chinese character, but the calligraphy of your pin is good, even by chinese standard. Enjoy it!
