Hello everyone, I am learning from history.
Chinese civilization has a long history, and in the entire history of mankind, it is also a rare ancient civilization that has not been broken, and the Chinese script is also unique among other ancient civilizations in the world.
If you want to choose a word in Chinese characters that best represents Chinese civilization, I think the word "Fu" is one of the most representative Chinese characters.
The history of the word "Fu" can be traced back to the Oracle.
The oracle bones excavated from the Yin Ruins in Henan have the character "Fu", and the right half of the earliest "Fu" character is preceded by the word "unitary", and the lower right half is two "hands", indicating that a wine statue is held with both hands. The left half of the word "Fu" is a "show" character, representing the ancestral tablets.
That is to say, the earliest fu character actually means to use fine wine to sacrifice ancestors and gods, and pray for all things to be safe and smooth, which is also the most basic meaning of the fu word. It is also directly said in the "Explanation of Words" that the word fu is "祐也", which means blessing and blessing.
Since the beginning of this blessing word, Chinese whether it is the emperor Tianzi or the common people, they have taken "fu" as their own and family's yearning and sustenance.
On this basis, the folk have once again created the "Five Blessings", "Fulu Shou Sanxing" and other legends about "Fu", in this issue we briefly talk about the Qing Dynasty emperors for the yearning for the word Fu.

Emperor Taiji was the second Great Khan of Houjin after Nurhaci, and during his reign, he truly developed the looting uprising launched by Nurhaci into a state power that divided one side, and truly established the Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji also became the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Taiji, he did not blindly suppress the Civil and Military Officials of the Han Nationality, but actively listened to suggestions, implemented the integration of Manchu and Han, protected the Han people, reduced the burden on the peasants, developed production, and increased the military strength.
On this basis, Huang Taiji also actively embraced Han culture and named the residence of his concubine Zhuang Fei as Yongfu Palace.
When Concubine Zhuang gave birth to the ninth child for Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji named the child "Fu Lin", hoping that the child could grow up healthily.
Later, Concubine Zhuang, who lived in the "Yongfu Palace", did have "Fu", and she later became the famous "Empress Xiaozhuang" of the Qing Dynasty, and her child "Fu Lin" also became the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the Shunzhi Emperor.

The Kangxi Emperor was the most famous and well-known emperor of the Qing Dynasty. During his reign, he pacified San Francisco and marched on Kaldan, making great contributions to the unification of the whole country and the laying of the territory of China.
After the Kangxi Emperor ascended the throne, in order to express his blessing and birthday for Empress Xiaozhuang, the Kangxi Emperor specially wrote a blessing character. This fu character is also known as the "first blessing in the world".
It is said that this fu character was personally written by the Kangxi Emperor on the sixtieth birthday of Empress Xiaozhuang, and this Fu character not only has "Fu", but also has the meaning of "many sons, many talents, many lives, and many fields", which is the "Fu" character of the unity of the "Five Blessings" in ancient times and the present.
Moreover, the "Tian" department in the lower right corner has not yet been sealed, so it is a boundless and boundless blessing. Empress Xiaozhuang called it "the source of blessings", and the people called it "the origin of the five blessings and the source of all blessings".
In addition, at this time, it was the prosperous age of Kangxi, and this blessing word was written by the emperor himself, and it was also stamped with the imperial treasure seal of the Kangxi Emperor. This fu character was carved by the master craftsmen on a strange stone containing the texture of "the unity of mountains and rivers", and was called "the first blessing in the world".
Immediately ordered Kangxi to write the character "Fu" according to this method, and then ordered people to search all over the famous mountain, and found a strange stone with a texture of "unity of mountains and rivers" nearly eight meters high, and carved the word "Fu" along with Kangxi's imperial treasure and turned it into a "Fu character monument." This inscription disappeared during the Qianlong period and was only discovered when the Gongwang Mansion was renovated after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and is now the treasure of the Gongwangfu Museum.

The Qianlong Emperor greatly admired his grandfather, the Kangxi Emperor, and some of the Habits of the Kangxi Emperor were also inherited by the Qianlong Emperor, such as writing the word "Fu" every year to his ministers.
In order to express the reward for the ministers during the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods, every New Year's Day, the Kangxi Emperor would hand-write the word "Fu" to the ministers close to him to show glory. The ministers who received the emperor's blessing were also flattered and felt the emperor's trust in themselves.
Here in Qianlong, carrying forward this habit of giving "blessings" every year, the Qianlong Emperor said in the note "Ding Wei Jia Ping Yue Shuo Opens the Pen and Then Stacks the Poetry rhymes of Xinhai":
"The blessing of Jiaping was never held during the time of the Emperor (Kangxi), and the Imperial Examination (Yongzheng) was established as a precedent, and since the imperial pole was given, he has followed the family law and obeyed it for many years, and has been enshrined as a canon."
Even during the reign of Empress Dowager Cixi, Cixi followed the old qianlong practice and hand-wrote blessing characters to the princes and ministers.
The word Fu is extremely important for Chinese, Chinese every New Year's Festival, they have to post the word Fu everywhere in the house, and some foreigners first began to understand Chinese culture from the word "Fu".
When the British prime minister and his family visited China, they held "pouring blessings", which means "blessings have arrived", and they were ridiculed by the uncultured British media.
Soon it will be the New Year, here to learn from history to wish all friends peace and security, health and health, full of blessings, Happy New Year!
