The Best Fortune in the World is the work of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
In the 12th year of Kangxi (AD 1673), the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was approaching her 60th birthday. Unexpectedly, she fell seriously ill and the imperial doctor was helpless. When he was helpless, Kangxi found out that in ancient times, there was a saying of "inheriting the emperor" to ask for blessings and longevity, which meant that the destined emperor was a person who was blessed with great blessings and longevity. He could ask the heavenly father for "blessings and longevity" for himself, so he decided to pray for his grandmother. blessing.
After three days of bathing and fasting, I completed this painting with the word "福" that was filled with my deepest love for my grandmother, and stamped it with the seal of "Treasure of Kangxi Royal Brushstrokes", which means "good luck is in your head, good fortune is shining brightly. Suppress all evil spirits in the world."
Since Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang received the word "blessing", all her illnesses were gone. Fifteen years later, she died at the age of 75. Folks all say that this is the blessing brought by Kangxi's "blessing and longevity". Afterwards, Kangxi repeatedly mentioned the imperial pen, but he could no longer write the charm of it. Therefore, it was widely spread among the people that this blessing was a "great blessing from heaven."
The word "福", which means the best fortune in the world, implies five glyphs of "子, 田, TAL, Shou and FU", 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".
