Extended data:
According to legend, the folk custom of pasting the word "Fu" began when it became a god. After all the immortals were properly distributed, Jiang Taigong's wife came to beg for the throne. Helpless, she was given the name of "poor god", stipulating that anyone who posted the word "fu" could not go. As a result, ordinary people put the word "Fu" on every household and set off firecrackers to drive away this unpopular "poor god".
But this is just a folklore after all. According to relevant data, the word "Fu" has a long history in China. As early as more than 3000 years ago, there were different structures of the word "fu" in bronze inscriptions in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Since then, with the appearance of small seal script, official script, cursive script, regular script, running script and other fonts, the calligraphy of the word "Fu" has become more and more artistic, and the collections of "Hundred Pictures" and "Thousand Pictures" of later generations have concentrated various writing methods of the word "Fu", which is pleasing to the eye.
