Baifutu

White floating picture, the traditional meaning of China folk words. Printed by more than 100 different Chinese characters, it is a special-shaped pattern based on seal script and a folk Chinese character pattern with a long history in China. ?

"Happiness" is the general term for wealth, longevity and other things. In the New Year or auspicious days, there will be words of blessing or pictures of meaning in folk activities, and people use them to pray for the arrival of all blessings. ?

The font of "Hundred Pictures" is steady, unified and dignified, full of interest and charm, and is deeply loved by working people in China. In addition to font changes, there are forms such as "Old Fu Zi", "Fu Zi Deng" and "Flower-and-Bird Font". Mostly used in painting, holiday decoration, architecture, sculpture and so on.

Fuzi culture

People in China like the word "Fu", and the couplets say "Dry Kunfu in Spring" and "Happiness is like flowing water in the East China Sea". Everyone wants to be blessed and lucky, open the door to happiness and get the blessing of the soul, and both will benefit. Now everyone sticks the word "Fu", and it is posted backwards, praying for happiness.

There are different opinions about the origin of the word "paste blessing". First of all, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou participated in it, giving praise and criticism. One year, the capital held a lantern festival to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was traveling incognito, he saw a horse monkey crying with a pair of embroidered shoes on a lantern of a family. Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was a satire on Ma Huanghou's Bigfoot. He was so angry that he wrote a word "Fu" on the door as a sign.

After returning to the palace, he immediately ordered the Royal Guards to arrest people according to the marks he left the next morning. Among the queens of past dynasties, Ma Huanghou is famous for her virtue and love for the people. When she learned of this, she immediately passed on her will and told all the families in the city that they must write their blessings at the door before dawn.

Early the next morning, the people sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to arrest people found that every family had the word "fu", but only one family could not read, and the word "fu" was posted backwards. The emperor ordered the house to be cut down. Seeing that something was wrong, Ma Huanghou quickly said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "The family knew that you were visiting today, and deliberately put down the word' Fu'. Isn't this the meaning of "blessed road"? "

Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was reasonable, so he ordered the release and a disaster was finally avoided. Since then, it has become a custom to paste the blessing word backwards, which has been passed down to this day. A praise, a fall, and a clear attitude show the people's hearts. ?

There is also a legend that the right of invention was given to Jiang Ziya of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, Jiang Taigong. Jiang Taigong sealed a large number of immortals, so he sealed his wife Ye as a poor god and told her, "You can't go to a blessed place." Since then, every household has posted a New Year's greeting, telling poor God that I am a blessed land and you must not come in. The word "Fu" is a symbol of getting rid of poverty and pursuing happiness.
