In A.D. 1673, Kangxi wrote "Ode to Blessed Life" for his grandmother sourdrang queen, which shocked the ancient and modern times. This blessing means "many children, many talents, many professions, long life and many blessings", and it is the only blessing of "Five Blessingg in one" and "longevity in one" in ancient and modern times. Xiaozhuang "invites blessings to gather blessings" and Kangxi "gives blessings to get blessings", so this blessing is called "the first efficacious blessing in the world". Among the blessings, there is a "treasure of Kangxi's imperial pen" with a seal on it, which means "lucky strike, the lucky star shines high" ...
Sticking the word "Fu" during the Spring Festival is a long-standing folk custom in China. In order to fully reflect the yearning and wishes for a happy life and a bright future, the people simply turn the word "Fu" upside down to mean "Fu is here" and "Fu is here". The "Best Happiness in the World" of Kangxi Imperial Book that we are going to introduce today is another story. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty loved calligraphy all his life, but rarely wrote inscriptions, so Kangxi's imperial brush was the least circulated among the emperors' pen and ink, and there was the saying that "Kangxi is a thousand dollars". Legend has it that there are only three words left in Kangxi's life: "inaction" and "joy". "Inaction" exists in the Forbidden City, and the protagonist of this article "The Best Happiness in the World" exists on the tablet of "Fu" in Beijing Gongwangfu. Legend has it that Emperor Kangxi lost his mother when he was young and was raised by sourdrang dowager. However, in the heyday of Kangxi, sourdrang dowager was seriously ill. Kangxi, eager to save his grandmother, wrote filial piety into the text and created the couplet "Longevity" that shook the ancient and modern times. This word contains "long life, many children, many fields and many talents", and then skilled craftsmen are recruited from all over the world, carved on a big bluestone, and carried this "blessing" tablet to the hall of prayer for the New Year. In order to show filial piety, Emperor Kangxi knelt on the tablet of "Fu" and prayed for blessings. God lived, and sourdrang dowager miraculously recovered. Emperor Kangxi invited the "Fu" tablet to return to the palace to be dedicated to the Buddha Pavilion. After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he gave "the best blessing in the world" to his favorite, Xiao Shenyang, who ordered thousands of Taihu stones to be shipped and built a dragon in the back garden of his mansion. The location of this dragon happened to be in Long Mai, the capital of China. He hid the "Best Fortune in the World" in the dragon cave and sacrificed it carefully. Since the reform and opening up, National Cultural Heritage Administration has renovated the "Fu" monument and listed it as one of the "Three Wonders of China". Many overseas celebrities come here to seek happiness and honor their elders with rubbing axes. Foreign heads of state visiting China have also come here for "the best happiness in the world". The extension of the word "Fu" has also become one of the national gifts, and it has been given to distinguished guests at home and abroad, and the gospel of China has been spread since then. However, due to the use of herbs in rubbings, if not restricted, the stone tablet will be completely weathered over time, so the relevant state departments seal the stone tablet with a glass cover and prohibit rubbings. Look at this blessing written by Emperor Kangxi. It is vigorous and powerful. The strokes in the upper right corner are similar to the word "Duo", with "Tian" below and "Shou" on the right. Therefore, this word contains the profound meaning of "many children, many talents, many clothes, many fields, many blessings and many lives". What is more precious is that the seal of Kangxi Imperial Seal is directly engraved on the top of the monument, which is incomparable to other historical sites, so the word "Fu" cannot be posted backwards. According to legend, whoever can give this "the best blessing in the world" back to the old people will certainly add happiness and longevity to the old people. Please pay attention to the word "fu" when you come back. On New Year's Eve, you should worship incense with clean hands every day and touch the word "Fu" with your hands at night. From bottom to top, the higher you touch, the longer you live. On the fifteenth day of the first month, you must put it away and hide it in the depths. This is the so-called "touching blessings in the new year will increase your life." It can be hung again on Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Winter Solstice and New Year's Eve next year.
The original stone tablet is stored in Gongwangfu.
The Best Happiness in the World —— Peace and Happiness in China's Prosperous Age
/10 2008 On June 7th, 2008, Heilongjiang Copyright Bureau registered the word "China Shengshi Ping An Fu" written by Fu Shou calligrapher Lu, a member of China Traditional Culture Promotion Association, which was protected by independent intellectual property rights (such as inscription: 08-2008-f- 163).
This word "Fu" draws lessons from the calligraphy strokes of the words "Ping" in Tang Taizong and "An" in Wang Xizhi, and keeps the original shape of the traditional word "Fu", which conforms to the norms of calligraphy and Chinese characters. It is composed of the words "Ping" and "He", and the word "He" is used in the word "Fu". Because the traditional word "fu" has the pictographic meaning of "food and clothing", this blessing is "food and clothing blessing"; The word "peace" is "the blessing of peace"; There is a word "harmony" in the word "fu", which means "harmony", and the birthday of the country is "Wang"; Decompose the word "fu" with the five elements of Zhouyi; It can be divided into "Ping" (water), "An" (earth), "Cave" (gold), "Yi" (earth), "Kou" (wood), "Tian" (fire) and "Fu" (water), and 2 (water) and 1 (water.
Because everything is empty without "peace", "peace" is the first "blessing" in the world. "China is prosperous, peaceful and happy" is also "the first happiness in the world". "Man" is not only aimed at people, but also includes animals, plants and other things in the world. Some biological species are on the verge of extinction, and ecological imbalance is the main reason for environmental deterioration. We should respect the laws of nature, love and protect nature, and pray for the earth with the concept of "peace and prosperity in the world". . . . . .
Interpretation of "Fu" Culture in China's Prosperity, Peace and Happiness
Fu culture is the oldest traditional culture in China. What is happiness? In the abstract, happiness is what people want most, and it is also the unremitting pursuit. . . . . .
What are the "blessings" that people are so eager for? "Prosperous China, Peace and Happiness" summarizes the content of our blessing culture for thousands of years:
On the first level, China's traditional writing "It's a blessing to be well-fed and well-fed" has gone forward for thousands of years. It is one of the oldest Chinese characters in China, and its shape has changed greatly. According to hieroglyphics, the main purpose of our ancestors' initial consciousness of praying for blessings thousands of years ago was "food and clothing", whether it was to worship heaven with wine or to seek "Five Blessingg". Until today, most people still regard "food and clothing" as the main purpose of happiness. Food and clothing represents the material level and is the premise of happiness. Food is the first thing for the people, poverty is not socialism, and economic construction is the center.
The second level "Peace is a blessing" and "Peace is a blessing" originated from Zhuangzi's "Peace is a blessing" more than two thousand years ago. What made the ancients think that "peace is a blessing"? It should be natural disasters and wars. "Peace" is a kind of "state" and people's desire for a peaceful and stable life process. Without peace, there is nothing. Peace is the "basic guarantee" of happiness. We say "live a long life", "enjoy one's old age", "health is happiness", "safety first" and "create a safe city", all of which are the portrayal of praying for peace.
On the third level, people who have "food and clothing" and "peace" may not feel happiness. The highest pursuit of happiness is spiritual pursuit, that is, "harmony is precious." "Harmony" culture is the epitome of China traditional culture, which has played an important role in the development history of the Chinese nation. Harmony is a blessing, which begins with the establishment of a harmonious society. Harmony includes modesty, kindness, harmony, harmony, beauty and harmony, and the pursuit of happiness can be found in any word. "Harmony" stands for "spiritual level", and "Harmony is happiness" is a kind of spiritual feeling of people. Of course, people feel different about happiness, because their thinking and pursuit are different. However, the spiritual concept of blessing covered by "harmony culture" represented by "harmony" can conform to most people's viewpoint of blessing. . . . . .
Happiness is people's comprehensive pursuit of material, spiritual, safety and health or one or two aspects according to their own desires.
China's prosperity is based on various meanings such as "food and clothing", "peace", "harmony", "gold" and "wealth", which is more in line with the wishes of Chinese children.
The people-oriented "happiness" line of China * * * Production Party serves the people.
China * * * Production Party takes economic construction as the center, solves people's livelihood problems, (creates material for people's "food and clothing"), creates a peaceful China (provides "guarantee" for people's "happiness") and builds a harmonious society (promotes spiritual civilization and enhances people's happiness). In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the reason why the people of China have developed so fast under the leadership of China's * * * production party is that the people are the center, the party, the government, the army and the people are United as one, and they seek "happiness" for the people all over the world.
The concept of food and clothing is a blessing, peace is a blessing and harmony is a blessing. The concept of "Five Blessingg" originated from the ancient people's interpretation of "Fu": longevity (longevity), wealth (versatility), health and safety (health and safety), virtue (virtue) and ultimate life (virtue). Combine: "Adequate food and clothing is a blessing" and "rich (versatile)" represent "material"; "Peace is a blessing" and "one-day life" and "five-day life" are interlinked and belong to "peace and peace"; "Harmony is bliss" and "four virtues" belong to the spiritual category. This shows that the ancients' summary of happiness is very specific, and the pursuit of happiness between the ancients and the present is the same.
China Shengshi Ping An Fu has become a famous local cultural product in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, and has been collected by Daqing Museum, Fuzhou Museum, domestic and foreign cultural institutions and individuals.
World blessing
"World Wealth" was creatively put forward by the Wealth and Culture Professional Committee under the Fujian Strait Cultural and Creative Industry Association, and it was created with the concept of "happiness on earth". The symbol of "World Happiness" is based on the connotation of China's traditional blessing culture, the appeal of beautiful and auspicious implication, the concept of international style design, the premise of diverse and wide application, and the goal of common well-being of mankind. It unites people of all countries and nationalities in the world to pursue a new era of "world happiness" and realizes "the source of world happiness, everything pays tribute to North Korea, prosperity and strength, and the world"
Among the best wishes in the world, there has always been a saying that Five Blessingg (Blessing, Wealth, Longevity, Happiness and Wealth) comes to the door. "Happiness under the World" skillfully integrates the traditional "Five Blessingg" in China into the design, which contains nine wishes of "happiness under the world", which is called "supreme happiness" and implies that "happiness under the world" will soon become the supreme of "happiness under the world".
The birth of World Wealth is the inevitable development of the times. Shortly after the 66th session of the United Nations General Assembly created the symbol of "world wealth", it declared March 20th of each year as "International Happiness Day".
