As the Spring Festival approached, a friend in an entrepreneur's wechat group observed that everyone was chatting with each other when sending blessings. The pictures of blessings sent out were all upside down. So he discussed with me the Spring Festival paste Fu, Fu character can stick upside down. Before discussing this problem, first we start from the word "fu"The words themselves are dissected.

The blessing of Oracle bone inscriptions is a Shepang plus a wine altar held in one hand to signify the offering of wine.

Why is it a blessing to sacrifice wine?

In ancient times, wine meant abundance, and the use of wine for sacrifice meant that there was surplus grain to make wine, prosperity, not hunger, and happiness. Sacrifice is the country's top priority, and sacrifice must have wine. Offering wine in the word "Fu" indicates, on the one hand, a good harvest of food and a rich life, so as to express gratitude to the ancestors, ghosts and gods; on the other hand, it means to share the wine with all the people after offering it.

Oracle bone Inscriptions bring us the message: blessing, wealth, gratitude and sharing.

If you hang such a profound blessing upside down, the wine will spill out, and the offering table will turn upside down. What blessing can there be?

Later, the characters developed into Jin script, official script and regular script, which were also the original meaning of altar plus wine altar and praying for good luck. How can such a Fu character be hung upside down?

Understand the meaning of the word itself, and then we look at the source of upside down Fu character, for this, ILooked it up on the InternetThere are about three kinds of legends.

The first type:Zhu Yuanzhang after the capture of Nanjing, the life of his confidants in the past to support and help their people stick a door"blessing"Word so that the next day will be on the door without"blessing"The word family all according to the dark Tong Yuan thief killed. House heart kind Queen Ma know, in order to eliminate this disaster, let the whole city size people overnight in their doors posted a"blessing"The word.

No one dares to defy Empress Ma's will naturally, so the home is pasted with the word "Fu". One of them, a family named Liao, who could not read, put the word "fu" upside down. The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to the street to see, found that every family pasted "Fu" word, there is a "Fu" word pasted down. The emperor was furious when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the imperial army to chop up the whole house. Empress Ma saw that things are not good, busy to Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The family know you visit today, deliberately put the word Fu upside down, this is not'Futo'Do you mean?" As soon as the emperor heard the reason, he ordered the release of the prisoners, and a great disaster was finally eliminated. Since then, people have pasted the word "fu" upside down, both for good luck and to commemorate Empress Ma.

The second and third legends are about the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Prince Gong, but the one thing they all have in common is that the person who posted them cannot read and put the characters upside down, which is a kind of expedient saying that others will make mistakes. Like a family around the New Year's Eve dinner, children accidentally broke the bowl, adults quickly say "peace" to find a little comfort in the heart.
