What is the moral of Bai Zi chart?

The moral of the Hundred Children Map is that many children are blessed, families are prosperous, children and grandchildren are prosperous, and generations will continue. In the traditional culture of China, the word "hundred" has great or infinite meaning, so hundred pictures are usually used to express good wishes for the prosperity of future generations. This pattern is common in folk New Year pictures and ancient architecture decoration in Ming and Qing Dynasties, symbolizing happiness and auspiciousness. The pictures in Bai Zi Pictorial often depict various scenes of children's play in a homophonic way, which is full of lively and festive atmosphere. Origin of the story: It is said that Zhou Wenwang has many sons, but generally not many. By the time a Lei Zhenzi was picked up by the roadside, he already had 99 sons, and Lei Gong Lei Zhenzi happened to have 100 sons, so King Wen was an ancient philosopher. The concept of the ancients in China was that the more children there were, the better. "A full house of children and grandchildren" is considered to be the most important manifestation of family prosperity, and "Zhou Wenwang gives birth to an hundred children" is considered to be an auspicious sign, so there are many ancient "pictures of an hundred children" that have been passed down to this day. The allusions of ancient philosophers come from The Book of Songs, which praised many descendants of Zhou Wenwang. The pictures are often homophonic, which means many longevity, full house of children and grandchildren, and prosperous children and grandchildren. Since ancient times, there are hundreds of brocade quilts in the bride's dowry when she gets married, which are used to express happiness and blessings. At the same time, I wish the bride an early birth and a happy family, and even give hundreds of brocade quilts as wedding gifts to relatives and friends.
