What are Fu's stories and legends?

The historical origin of China people's Spring Festival greetings.

According to legend, the folk custom of attaching blessings began when Jiang Taigong became a god. Immortals from all walks of life were assigned properly, and Jiang Taigong's wife Ma Shi also came to beg for the throne. Helpless, she was named a poor god, and it was stipulated that no one could go where the word "Fu" was posted.

As a result, ordinary people put a blessing on it and set off firecrackers to drive away this unpopular poor god.

The legendary story of blessing words

There is also a legend that the word "fu" is posted upside down among Han people. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, took the word V as a secret memory and prepared to kill people.

In order to eliminate this disaster, the good-hearted horse queen asked all the families in the city to post blessings on their doors before dawn. Naturally, no one dares to go against Ma Huanghou's will, so the word "Fu" is put on every door. If one of the families can't read, turn the word "fu" upside down.

The next day, the emperor sent people to the streets to check and found that every family had posted the word "Fu", and another family had posted the word "Fu" upside down. Hearing this, the emperor was furious and immediately ordered the body guard to cut down the house together with all the doors.

When Ma Huanghou saw that things were not good, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang that his family knew that you were visiting today and deliberately put down the blessing. Isn't this the meaning of blessing? When the emperor heard the truth and ordered his release, a great disaster was finally eliminated. Since then, people have turned the word "Fu" upside down for good luck and in memory of Ma Huanghou.
