Legend has it that Zhou Wenwang has many sons, and generally not many. By the time he picked up Lei Zhenzi by the roadside, he already had ninety-nine sons, and Lei Zhenzi, a tripterygium wilfordii, just had one hundred sons, so he said 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.
As a greeting from the ancients, the ancient philosophers were so happy. According to legend, Princess Zhou Wen was pregnant again because she gave birth to many children, and ministers were very happy. She wrote a poem praising: "Having an eldest son is a hundred men." The book of songs is translated into vernacular: Princess Daiyu continues the fine blood of Zhou family, and may she give birth to a lot of fat dolls. An ancient painting, "The Hundred Zi Tu", came into being, meaning that one hundred is a lot. Lin Zhi Tu in Taiwan's Palace Museum is the earliest existing Bai Zi Tu. Later generations have masterpieces, not only painted on paper and silk, but also embroidered on quilts, woven into dresses, made into bottles and cans, and made into screens. From the royal family to the common people, everyone is willing to get a celebration from the ancient philosophers. Therefore, in the dowry of the newly married bride of a well-off family in the old society, there were always eight and one hundred, which decorated the new house with joy. Although there are definitely too many "Ze Buys men" in the contemporary era, the wish to have a happy baby and "have a son as soon as possible" is symbolized by four auspicious things, namely dates, peanuts, longan and lotus seeds. These four things remain in today's wedding customs and are cleverly hidden by grandmothers and sisters-in-law for boys and girls to discover. Therefore, loving children, the eternal feeling of all mankind, has a national vision in China because of the cultural factor of "a hundred philosophers make a fortune".
