Introduction to the blessing altar: The word "福" in the blessing altar is very particular. Chinese hieroglyphs are one of the oldest characters in the world and the only ancient character in the world that is still in use today. The structure of Chinese characters is based on pseudotypes as the basic structure of fonts, which means that what a character wants to express or what it means can be interpreted literally. The word "福" in the altar is composed of the character "衣", the character "一", the character "口", and the character "田". Next to the word "衣" there is the meaning of fortune, so the meaning of the character "福" is " A piece of land brings complete clothing and wealth." Because, in the eyes of our ancestors, it is a blessing to have clothes to wear, a field to eat, and enough to eat.
