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 seal on the top of Kangxi's imperial pen, which means "lucky strike is blessed with high stars" ... It is a long-standing folk custom in China to stick the word "blessing" in the Spring Festival. 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". There is also a legend that the word "fu" is posted upside down among the people. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, took the word "fu" as a secret memory and prepared to kill people. Anyone who posted the word "fu" in front of the door was exempt from execution. In order to eliminate this disaster, kind Ma Huanghou asked all the families in the city to put "Fu" on their doors before dawn. One family can't read, but it turns the word "fu" upside down. The emperor was furious when he learned that, and immediately ordered the body guard to cut down the house and all its doors. When Ma Huanghou saw that things were not good, he quickly said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "The family knew that you were visiting today, and deliberately turned the word" Fu "upside down. Isn't this what' Fudao' means? " The emperor ordered his release as soon as he heard the truth. Since then, people have turned the word "Fu" upside down for good luck and in memory of Ma Huanghou. However, 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. Therefore, 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 words, creating a couplet that shocked ancient and modern times. Then he recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the world, carved it on a big bluestone, and carried the "Fu" tablet to the Hall of Prayer for the New Year to worship the gods. 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".
Look at this lucky character written by Emperor Kangxi. It is vigorous and powerful, and quite imposing. The strokes in the upper right corner are similar to the word "Duo", with "Tian" below and "Shou" on the right. What is more precious is that the top of the monument is engraved with the seal of Kangxi Imperial Seal, which brings good luck, which is incomparable to other historical sites, so this kind of blessing 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."
