During the Spring Festival, every household should put the word "Fu" on doors, walls and lintels. Sticking the word "Fu" in the Spring Festival is a long-standing custom of the Han people. According to Liang Lu's Dream, "When I was young, in your hometown, I set up a shop, painted peaches and spent the Spring Festival ..."; "Scholars, big or small, should sweep the floor, remove dust and filth, clean the family, change the door gods, hang Zhong Kui, nail peaches, stick spring cards and worship their ancestors." The "Tiechun Brand" in this article is the word "Fu" written on red paper.
The word "fu" is now interpreted as "happiness", but in the past it meant "good luck" and "good luck". No matter now or in the past, the word "Fu" posted in the Spring Festival has pinned people's yearning for a happy life and wishes for a better future. In order to fully reflect this yearning and wish, the Han people simply reversed the word "fu", indicating that "happiness has arrived (inverted) and the spirit of" fu "has arrived (inverted)." There is also a legend that the word "fu" is posted upside down among Han people. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, took the word "fu" as a secret memory and prepared to kill people. In order to eliminate this disaster, the good-hearted horse queen asked all families in the city to put "Fu" on their doors before dawn. Naturally, no one dares to go against Ma Huanghou's will, so the word "Fu" is put on every door. If one family can't read, turn the word "fu" upside down. The next day, the emperor sent people to the streets to check and found that every family had posted the word "Fu", and another family had posted the word "Fu" upside down. When the emperor heard the news, he was furious and immediately ordered the body guard to cut down the house. When Ma Huanghou saw that things were not good, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "The family knew that you were visiting today, and deliberately turned the word' Fu' upside down. Isn't that what "Fu" means? " When the emperor heard the truth and ordered his release, a catastrophe was finally eliminated. Since then, people have turned the word "Fu" upside down for good luck and in memory of Ma Huanghou.
Some people in the Han nationality have carefully made the word "Fu" into various patterns, such as longevity, longevity peach, carp yue longmen, abundant grains, dragons and phoenixes, etc. In the past, there was a saying among the Han people that "on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, every family wrote big characters". In the past, the word "Fu" was mostly handwritten, but now it is sold in markets and shops.
I hope it can help you solve the problem.
