From Shang and Zhou Dynasties to modern times, from its origin to its evolution, from Oracle Bone Inscriptions to Xing Kai, Cao Li, various writing styles and styles emerged one after another.
The word "Fu" first appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions more than 3000 years ago.
Holding the altar and pouring wine with both hands is a knowing word.
Most of the Chinese characters in the program are related to sacrifices, gods, prayers and hopes.
On the inscriptions of Shang and Zhou bronzes, such as Qi Houzhong, Guo Jiangdun and Tai Shi Yaodou, the word "Fu" was written in different structures.
Later, with the appearance of ancient books, small seal script, official script, cursive script, regular script, running script and other fonts, there were more and more "Fu" calligraphy.
Fu, knowledge and pictophonetic characters. From the Oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in Yin Ruins in Henan Province (Figure A), it can be seen that "Fu" is the image of holding an altar with both hands to worship the gods (signs), and it is a knowing word composed of three parts: hands, wine and signs. Originally, it means to worship God with wine and pray for happiness (all the best).
Judging from the above-mentioned Oracle Bone Inscriptions shape, the upper part of the left half is the word "one", which is a container for holding wine, and is actually the initial word of the word "wine". The lower left part is two "hands" (again), which means holding the bottle with both hands;
Its right half is a "sign", representing the ancestor's god; The whole word means to offer a bottle of wine in front of the ancestor's god with both hands and seek God's blessing. When explaining the meaning of the word "Fu", Shuo Wen Jie Zi said "You Ye", which means blessing and blessing. Chinese characters have developed to the stage of inscriptions on bronze, with various forms.
First of all, the left and right structure of the word was changed. The word "yes" moved from right to left, and the word "true" moved from left to right. At the same time, Jin Wen saved two "hands" for holding wine than Oracle Bone Inscriptions.
In ancient times, sacrifices were made to seek the blessing of God or ancestors. For example, in Zuo Zhuan's Ten Years of Zhuang Gong, it is said that "small faith is not a blessing, but God is a blessing", which means that Xiao Cheng has not reached the point of honesty and touching, and God will not bless him.
After the sacrifice, sacrifices (wine and meat) should be given to others as "blessing" and "returning to blessing" respectively, which leads to the meaning of "blessing" and is used as a noun, which is the common meaning of the word "blessing" today.
Han Feizi, a philosopher in the Warring States period, thought that "a long life is a blessing". It is often said in ancient books that people's "Five Blessingg" is: 1. Longevity; 2. Abundance; 3. Improvement of moral character; 5. Completion of exams. People often say that the Complete Works of Five Blessingg refers to these contents. ?
Fu is the oldest, most auspicious and most popular Chinese character in China. Five thousand years of Chinese civilization, there is a word throughout, and that is the word "fu". ?
Guan Tong, a contemporary scholar of Fu culture, pointed out that a word "Fu" entrusted people with their yearning for a happy life and a bright future; It is also the ultimate pursuit of a complete and harmonious life. Guan Tong revised, supplemented and reinterpreted the connotation of the ancient Chinese character "Fu", and expounded the contemporary significance and standards of a happy life, namely wealth, virtue, well-being, pursuit and a good end.
