People either <strong>display<\/strong> it at home or hang it on the body, in the hope of bringing <strong>happiness<\/strong> and <strong>fortune<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>  \tThe four-happiness baby figurine features a pair of cute and adorable babies in their <em><strong>bellyband<\/strong><\/em>, with one hand holding a palm-leaf fan and the other gripping a gold ingot, displaying some kind of <strong>naughty<\/strong> and frolic looks. Through some ingenious combination, the two babies turn into four, which is the unique feature of the four-happiness baby figurine. As recorded by the <strong>historical <\/strong>book during Emperor <em><strong>Qianlong<\/strong><\/em>&rsquo;s reign in the Qing Dynasty, the four-happiness baby figurine was enshrined as &ldquo;God of Happiness&rdquo; in the wedding customs, enjoying high <strong>popularity<\/strong> among the common people.<\/p>\n<p>  \tA popular saying goes that the four-happiness baby figurine was designed by Xie Jin, a talented scholar from Jiangxi Province during the early Ming Dynasty. Folklore has it that once the emperor had all the imperial scholars make handicrafts themselves, and <strong>explained<\/strong> the connotations of what they made. Xie Jin constructed the design of the four-happiness baby figurine with a sudden inspiration. When the emperor asked him what the &ldquo;four happinesses&rdquo; referred to, Xie Jin <strong>blurted out<\/strong>, &ldquo;The four great happy moments in life are to enjoy one&rsquo;s wedding night, to succeed in an imperial exam, to have a welcome rain after a long drought, and to come across an old friend in a distant land. Hence the handicraft is named &lsquo;four-happiness baby figurine&rsquo;.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>  \t<strong>Name:<br \/>  \t<\/strong>\u56db\u559c\u5a03\u5a03<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u56db\u559c\u5a03\u5a03\");<\/script>s&igrave;x\u01d0-w&aacute;wa : four-happiness baby figurine<br \/>  \t\u809a\u515c<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u809a\u515c\");<\/script>d&ugrave;d\u014du : bellyband<br \/>  \t\u4e7e\u9686<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u4e7e\u9686\");<\/script>qi&aacute;n l&oacute;n\u0261 : Qianlong<\/p>\n<p>  \t<strong>Words:<br \/>  \t<\/strong>\u9648\u8bbe<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u9648\u8bbe\");<\/script>ch&eacute;nsh&egrave; : display<br \/>  \t\u5e78\u798f<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u5e78\u798f\");<\/script>x&igrave;n\u0261f&uacute; : happiness<br \/>  \t\u8d22\u5bcc<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u8d22\u5bcc\");<\/script>c&aacute;if&ugrave; : fortune<br \/>  \t\u8c03\u76ae<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u8c03\u76ae\");<\/script>ti&aacute;op&iacute; : naughty<br \/>  \t\u5386\u53f2\u7684<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u5386\u53f2\u7684\");<\/script>l&igrave;sh\u01d0 de : historical<br \/>  \t\u58f0\u671b<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u58f0\u671b\");<\/script>sh\u0113n\u0261w&agrave;n\u0261 :popularity<br \/>  \t\u8bf4\u660e<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u8bf4\u660e\");<\/script>shu\u014dm&iacute;n\u0261 : explain<br \/>  \t\u8131\u53e3\u800c\u51fa<script language=\"Javascript\">GetWord(\"\u8131\u53e3\u800c\u51fa\");<\/script>tu\u014dk\u01d2u&eacute;rch\u016b : blurted out<br \/>  \t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-3258670163\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sixi Wawa (four-happiness baby figurine) is a kind of folk doll made according to the conjoined shape of babies.
