Handed down without interruption, the descendants will be blessed
The poem
相傳罔替子孫贊衣祿豐盈富在天金馬玉堂人快樂飢時吃飯困時眠
In English
Handed down without interruption, the descendants will be blessed.Clothing and income are full, wealth as Heaven allows.In the golden-horse, jade-hall circles, people are happy,eating when hungry, sleeping when tired.
What it says
The poem says blessings are passed down through generations, with ample food and clothing. The golden horse and jade hall are courtly places of honor. The last lines return to the ordinary: eating when hungry and sleeping when tired, suggesting that true fortune is a calm everyday life.
A thought to take with you
Cherish everyday steadiness; it is the most real kind of blessing.
