For "Wufu 五福", are you referring to the Chinese idiom "Wufu Linmeng 五福临门" (the coming of 5 blessings). The term "Wufu 五福" originated from the classics Shujing 《书经》 and Hongfan 《洪范》.
The 5 blessings (wufu) are:
1. Longetivity (changshou 长寿)
2. Wealth (fugui 富贵)
3. Good Health (kangnin 康宁)
4. Peace and Good Virtue (haode 好德)
5. Peaceful Death (shanzhong 善终)
