Is there a tradition of making mistakes?

Many things in history are wrong. Some wrong things were found to have better meaning or other reasons, and some were kept.

As the Spring Festival approaches, it is auspicious and festive. Every household puts up Spring Festival couplets, lights up, goes to the old and welcomes the new. This is our traditional folk custom to welcome the Spring Festival, in which the word "Fu" is indispensable. Then let's start with the traditional custom of hanging the word "fu" upside down. During the Spring Festival, some places put the word "Fu" upside down because it means blessing. But you know what? This traditional custom is actually a tradition of making mistakes.

Legend has it that there used to be a landlord's house. During the Spring Festival, due to the shortage of manpower, the housekeeper casually called a servant to post the blessing word. But because the servant hasn't read the book, he posted the word "Fu" upside down. Being too busy, the housekeeper didn't notice that the word "Fu" was pasted backwards. Just then, the landlord and his friend came back and saw the word. At this time, the landlord was very angry, but his friend said, "It's really for your own good. No wonder you are so lucky. It turns out that your family posted the word' Fu' backwards, so all the blessings went to your home. " Since then, people have had the custom of posting the word "Fu" upside down.

This is a typical tradition of making mistakes. In addition, in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, people with the word "Fu" are above the altar, holding wine in their hands and praying for sacrifices. If we turn the word "fu" upside down, we can literally think that we have dumped the sacrifice. Since all the sacrifices have been dumped, where can we pray for anything? Therefore, no matter from the original intention or origin of Chinese characters, the word "fu" should not be reversed as far as possible. However, due to a word from a friend of the landlord, this mistake has become a tradition of making mistakes.

Everyone likes happiness since ancient times, but there are five kinds of happiness, that is, Five Blessingg and Five Blessingg have two meanings.

The second kind of longevity is rich, expensive, happy and prolific. In other words, health and longevity, abundant wealth, noble status, happy life and full children.

Five Blessingg's general idea is slightly different, but generally similar. Everyone likes and wants it. Post a blessing, which means you will have this blessing.

People's misunderstanding of "Daofu" is like a friend of the landlord who mistakenly thinks that it means a blessing from the sky, so it makes sense, so many people like to paste the word Daofu. This is typical of listening to good words, only listening to good words and ignoring others. First, the blessing has declined, and the blessing has declined. How can people stand on their feet? Second, blessings fall from the sky, with their heads facing the ground. This speed is estimated to be very fast. You fell to the ground before you knew it. Where did you get your blessing?

Therefore, we should also think about this tradition of making mistakes and then do it.
