The Story Behind the Lot
Birthday feast for Guo Fenyang
Guo Fen-yang refers to Guo Ziyi, a famous general of the Tang dynasty. For his distinguished service in suppressing the An Lushan Rebellion and restoring the Tang dynasty, he was enfeoffed as Prince of Fenyang. Throughout his life, he accumulated virtue through good deeds and treated others with generosity and humility. Though he rose to the highest ranks, he was neither arrogant nor conceited and was deeply respected at court and among the people. Legend says that on his birthday, his seven sons and eight sons-in-law, all high-ranking officials, came with their court tablets to pay respects at court and then to his home for the celebration. So many tablets filled the hall that they seemed to cover the beds—a scene celebrated as “Tablets Filling the Bed.” His family was harmonious across generations, blessed with both longevity and prosperity, and auspicious signs often appeared in his home. The story teaches that accumulated virtue brings lasting blessings. This is a fortunate sign: by doing good quietly and treating others generously, you will attract long life and prosperity for yourself and your descendants. The household will be harmonious, good fortune will often visit, and worries will be resolved.
The Story Behind the Lot (alternate version)Another traditional version, for reference
Li Jifu: Three Generations of Chancellors
Li Jifu was a renowned Tang chancellor, upright and capable, diligent in government, and accomplished in his work. His family had accumulated virtue over generations and maintained a principled household; talent flourished, and father and son alike became pillars of the court. Chancellors and high ministers appeared repeatedly across three generations, and the family’s honor endured, making it a distinguished lineage of officials. Because they continued to do good from generation to generation and passed virtue down within the family, their careers at court prospered and their domestic life remained harmonious and secure. Marriage, farming, and health all went well. The story illustrates the principle that a family that accumulates good deeds will have blessings to spare for its descendants. This is a highly auspicious sign: when a family builds virtue and each generation inherits its blessings, career, marriage, wealth, and health will all be stable and go smoothly. Every troubling matter can be resolved properly. It is an auspicious sign of blessings that endure across generations.
