wish your kids a promising future

Wuzidengke is a Chinese word, and its pinyin is w ǔ Z ǐ D ē NGK ē. Explanation: it is used as a blessing or auspicious word for marriage; it also refers to the secular pursuit of material satisfaction. It comes from the biography of Dou Yi in the history of Song Dynasty.

1、 Wuzi Dengke was originally a Chinese folk proverb, which originated from folk stories. It is said that in the late Zhou Dynasty, there was a man named Dou Yujun in Yanshan Prefecture. His five sons were excellent in both character and learning, and they successively graduated, so they were called "Wuzi Dengke". Dou Yujun himself also enjoyed his 82 year old life and died of no illness. Feng Dao, the imperial master of the dynasty, wrote a poem for him: "there is a good way to teach children in Yanshan. Lingchun is an old tree, while Dangui has five fragrant branches. " In the Three Character Classic, there is a sentence: "Dou Yanshan, you have a good prescription, teach five sons, and you have a good name." it praises him and teaches children to study hard, and the Father also wants to teach his son a good prescription.

Wuzidengke later became a traditional Chinese auspicious pattern, which placed the expectation of ordinary people that their children would be as successful as Dou Yujun's.

2、 In history, Huang Ping was known as "a place of cultural relics in Guizhou Province". By the end of Qing Dynasty, there were 29 Jinshi and 251 Juren in Huang Ping. In the 35th year of Kangxi (1696), Huang pingren, Wang Yunzhong, was a Jinshi. He had five sons and nephews, three of them were elected and two of them were elected. Later generations praised him as "five sons ascended the imperial examination". (Jiuzhou ancient town, Huangping County, Guizhou Province)

allusion

Dou Yanshan, formerly known as Dou Yujun, was born in Zhou Dynasty after five dynasties. He lived in Yanshan area, so he was called Dou Yanshan. LongQian village, xilonghuyu town (now belonging to Jizhou District of Tianjin), was finally recognized as the hometown of Dou Yanshan by Dou Yanshan Culture Research Association. Dou Yanshan was born in a wealthy merchant family, and his family was prosperous. But at first, he was not a good man. He devoted himself to fighting and selling. He tried his best to deceive and abduct people. The poor people hate him for being rich and heartless, but they have no power to uphold justice. Dou Yanshan's unconsciousness of conscience and the destruction of justice angered heaven. At the age of 30, he still had no son. One night, he dreams. His father, who dreamed of his death, said to him, "you have a bad mind. The immoral conduct and bad reputation have been known by the emperor of heaven. After you hit no child, and short life. You have to repent quickly, be good, accumulate a lot of virtue, and make it convenient for the laboring masses. Only in this way can you restore the will of heaven, correct your mistakes and bring about good fortune. " Dou Yanshan wakes up and remembers it, so he decides to be a new man. One new year's day, Dou Yujun went to Yanqing temple to worship the Buddha. Next to the mat in the main hall of the temple, he found two hundred taels of silver and thirty taels of gold. He thought it must be the lost property of the Buddha worshipers, so he waited for the owner in the temple. After waiting for a long time, I saw a man crying and talking to himself. Dou Yujun asked him why he was crying. The man said, "my father was taken away by the kidnappers and will be executed. I managed to borrow money from my relatives and friends and get two hundred taels of silver and thirty taels of gold. I'm going to redeem this money for my father's death. But when I touch my purse, there will be no gold and silver. In this way, my father will inevitably die. Just now I came here to worship Buddha, and I don't know if I lost it in the temple. " Yu Jun knew that the man was the owner, so he returned all the gold and silver and gave him a toll. The owner left happily. a servant stole a lot of money from him, so he wrote a contract to sell his daughter and tied it to the young girl's back, saying, "sell this girl forever to repay the money he stole." Then he ran away. Dou Gong pitied him, burned the contract, raised the girl, and chose her son-in-law to get married after he was raised. There are many poor people in his hometown who can't afford a daughter-in-law. Because his daughter can't afford a dowry, Dou Yanshan gives them his silver to help them. If there are relatives who can't do funerals, he will pay for them; if there are relatives who can't marry their daughters, he will pay for them. One year's income is used to help others except daily expenses. At the same time, Dou Yanshan also set up a school in his hometown, collecting thousands of books and inviting learned teachers to teach. The children who can't go to school because of poverty in the neighborhood will be recruited to go to school free of charge. His family is frugal and simple, no jewelry, no gorgeous clothes. Dou Yanshan was so poor and self-restraint, so he accumulated great virtue. Then one night, Dou Yanshan dreamed of his father again. The old man told him, "you are now famous for your great Yin skill. The emperor of heaven already knows. In the future, you will have five sons, each of whom will be able to win the gold medal, and you will live to be eight or 90 years old yourself. " When he woke up, he found that it was also a dream. But since then, he has been more self-cultivation, widely doing good deeds, without slighting. Later, he had five sons. Because of his emphasis on etiquette, good morality, good parenting and harmonious family, the Dou family finally developed. His eldest son, Mingyi, was a scholar in the later Jin Dynasty. He became an official in the Song Dynasty. He was a famous official in the early Song Dynasty. After his death, Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu, once lamented: "how can heaven seize the speed of Dou Yi?" The second son, named Yan, was also a Jinshi in the later Jin Dynasty. He served as a minister of rites in the early Song Dynasty. The three sons, named Kan, were Jinshi of the later Han Dynasty, and once served as the living Lang of the Song Dynasty. Dou Cheng was a Jinshi in the later Han Dynasty, and was appointed as a Zuo Jianyi official in the Song Dynasty. Dou Fu was a Jinshi in the Later Zhou Dynasty, who once served as Zuobu Que in the Song Dynasty. At that time, people called them "Dou's five dragons". When his five sons all won the gold medal, Feng Dao, the Minister of state, presented him with a poem: "Dou Yanshan, Shilang, teaches his son a righteous prescription. Lingchun is an old tree, while Dangui has five fragrant branches. " Dou Yujun also has eight grandchildren, all of whom are very expensive. At last, Dou Yujun served as an official of admonishment. He lived 82 years old. Before he died, he talked and laughed, said goodbye to his relatives and friends, bathed and changed clothes, and died without illness. In the Three Character Classic, the sentence "Dou Yanshan has a meaningful prescription, teaches five sons, and is famous all over the world" eulogizes this matter, and forms the idiom "five sons ascend the imperial examinations", which expresses the common people's expectation that their sons and daughters will be like the five sons of the Dou family, and jointly obtain fame and fortune, and have a bright future.
