Is there a legend about the word "Fu"?

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.

Second, when sealing a large number of immortals, seal his wife Ye as a poor god and tell her, "You can't go to a blessed place." Since then, every household has posted a New Year's greeting, that is, telling poor God that I am a blessed land, so don't come in. The word "Fu" is a symbol of getting rid of poverty and pursuing happiness.

3. Gongwangfu in Qing Dynasty. On the eve of the Spring Festival that year, the big housekeeper wrote a few words of "Fu" as usual and asked people to stick them on the door of the palace. An illiterate person pasted the word "Fu" upside down. Prince Gong Fujin was very angry and wanted to punish him with flogging. But this big housekeeper is an eloquent man, and quickly knelt down and declared, "I often hear that Prince Gong lives a long life, and now Dafu has really come." This is a sign of happiness. When Prince Gong heard this, he felt reasonable and thought, "No wonder passers-by say that Prince Gong is blessed (healthy). After speaking Kyrgyz for a thousand times, gold and silver increased. A slave without any knowledge really didn't expect such a move! So I gave the housekeeper and servant fifty taels of silver. "。 This is really a blessing in disguise!

Fourth,

In ancient China, there was a custom of writing big characters on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered to write some couplets in the Imperial Academy to celebrate the Spring Festival. These academicians tried their best to use flowery words and sent them to the Queen Mother for reading. The queen mother was very unhappy to see that there was not even a word "fu" in it. Seeing that Lafayette was angry, Hanlin people knelt on the ground in fear and said, "Please teach Lafayette a lesson." The queen mother said, "Go and write a few words of' Fu'." Academicians went back and wrote a bunch of "fu" characters. The Queen Mother chose a few from them and asked Li, the general manager, to post them everywhere in the palace with eunuchs. Who knows, it has caused another storm. A eunuch, illiterate, posted a word "fu" upside down, and no one found it that night. The next day, the Queen Mother came out to enjoy the couplets and the word "Fu". She happened to see Li, who was about to get angry and had a sharp brain turn, hurried forward and said, "Lafayette, please calm down, this is my slave's intentional posting." The word' fu' is reversed, that is,' fu' has fallen. Blessed, isn't it good luck? " After hearing this, Cixi turned anger into joy. Not only did she not punish the eunuch, but she also gave him a few taels of silver. Later, this habit spread to the people and became a custom.
