Why is the "Fu Character Monument" written by Emperor Kangxi not in the Forbidden City but in Prince Gong's Mansion?
As for how the "Fuzi Monument" came to Prince Gong's Mansion, we now have no exact history to test, whether it is Cao Mansion or He Mansion, but this royal treasure has experienced hundreds of years. It is rare that it has been preserved intact until now and is displayed in front of the world. It also leaves us with an unsolved mystery in history waiting to be solved by future generations.
The reason why the "Fuzi Stele" has become a treasure is because the word "Fu" on the "Fuzi Monument" includes the four characters Cai, Shou, Tian and Duo, which reflects a kind of diversity. It means blessing, many talents, long life, and many fields. In addition, the word "field" has no seal. Who doesn't want to have boundless fields? Aren’t these what people want most in life? Therefore, the "blessing monument" is pursued by the world.
The reason why the "Fu" stele has never been taken away by successive emperors in Prince Gong's Mansion is because He Shen set the "Fu" stele at the intersection of the dragon veins in the secret cave. The emperor could not have done it for this purpose. The monument with the word "Fu" destroyed the Feng Shui of the entire Beijing, so it remains in Prince Gong's Mansion to this day.
Extended information:
The Monument with the word "Fu" in Prince Gong's Mansion is known as "the number one source of blessing in the world". It is located in Miyun Cave in the garden of Prince Gong's Mansion in Beijing. There is a word "福" on the entrance to the garden. The stele, the word "福" on this stele was written by Emperor Kangxi. During the Qianlong period, this monument mysteriously disappeared.
In 1962, under the instructions of Premier Zhou Enlai, Prince Gong's Mansion was renovated. Archaeologists accidentally discovered the missing stele with the character "Fu" in the Miyun Cave in the back garden of the palace. After learning about it, the Prime Minister happily named it the "No. 1 Blessing in China", also known as "The No. 1 Blessing in the World".
The word "福", which means the best fortune in the world, implies five glyphs of "子, 田, TAL, longevity, and 福", which means "many children, many fields, many talents, many lives, many blessings". From the perspective of calligraphy, it is rare to combine several characters into one but smooth and natural. What is even more rare is that this is also the only "Fu" in the world that "unifies five blessings" and "unifies happiness and longevity". It is also known as "Fu". It is "longevity and blessing" and "the best blessing in the world".
To sum up the traditional Chinese culture, it is almost nothing more than "luck, wealth, longevity, happiness and wealth". Among these five words, the first one is "福". The connotation of "blessing" can be both simple and profound. Compared with the following four words, it is more metaphysical and not specific, but it governs the others. Therefore, the number one in the world is "blessing".
