Auspicious omen, also known as "Fu Rui", is regarded by Confucianism as a natural phenomenon that expresses God's will and is beneficial to people.

Such as the emergence of colorful clouds, good weather, twin ears of grain, sweet springs from the ground, strange birds and animals, and so on.

Auspicious omen, also known as "Fu Rui", is regarded by Confucianism as a natural phenomenon that expresses God's will and is beneficial to people. Such as the emergence of colorful clouds, good weather, twin ears of grain, sweet springs from the ground, strange birds and animals, and so on. Confucianism believes that the appearance of these phenomena is God's approval or recognition of the emperor's actions and policies.

It is said that when Zhou Wuwang attacked Shang Dynasty, a white fish jumped into the boat, a flame fell on the roof of King Wu, and then it became a bird. These auspicious signs are considered as symbols of God's appointment of King Wu as the son of heaven. Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, is said that when he was emperor, five planets appeared in the sky in succession, and there were many other auspicious signs. Since then, almost every emperor has acceded to the throne, and some auspicious signs have appeared. Courtiers with Confucianism as the main body also reported the discovery of auspicious signs to the emperor as the embodiment of their political achievements. Therefore, there have been many cases of fraud, and even the more corrupt the dynasty, the more auspicious it is.
