A Song Dynasty period Daoist pendant (plaque) charm with the inscription Changming Fugui written as "長命冨貴" instead of "長命富貴".

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Song Dynasty period Daoist pendant (plaque) charm with the inscription Changming Fugui written as "長命冨貴" instead of "長命富貴", in this case the top of the Chinese character is written as “冖” (mi “cover”) instead of “宀” (mian “roof”), meaning that the small dot, or vertical line, at the top of the character is missing. Writing the (富) as "冨" is known in mandarin as Fù zì wú tóu (Traditional Chinese: 富字無頭; Simplified Chinese: 富字无头, " character without a top or limit"). This implies that in this case the character refers to "riches without an end" or "Endless riches" as opposed to simply meaning "riches" as the with a dotted top. The reverse side of this charm shows a Daoist God known as the Star Official of Dominant Vitality.
