Emperor Kangxi customized the tradition of "Jiaping Shufu", every year on the first day of the first month of the twelfth lunar month in Jiaping, that is, the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor would personally write down the word "Fu", and gave it to the Hanlin Academy to edit Zha Shenxing and others. This tradition continued into the reigns of Emperor Yongzheng and Emperor Qianlong, and became a common practice in the Qing court. Emperor Yongzheng even extended the scope of blessing to Zhizhi, provincial generals, governors, and governors, and issued instructions and exhortations on the provincial recitals, emphasizing that blessing is not only a private matter of individuals or families, but the common welfare of the world.
Emperor Qianlong paid great attention to the "Jiaping Book Blessing", and personally wrote the four words "Blessing the Common People" every year, and pasted it in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace to show blessings. After the completion of the Interpretation Temple, Emperor Qianlong will first make incense in the temple, and then return to the palace to write the word Fu. In addition, Emperor Qianlong also recorded the situation of each opening of the book in the form of poetry, emphasizing the solemnity and significance of this ceremony.
In the late Qing Dynasty, Emperor Jiaqing continued this tradition, writing and recording in poetry every year, continuing the etiquette of the Qing court.
This tradition is not only a ceremony for the emperor to pray for blessings to the people and the people, but also reflects the emperor's care and blessings for the people of the world, as well as his expectations for the prosperity of the country.
