在古代，福壽雙全是評判老人是否幸福的標準，其中的福氣便是多子多孫，兒孫繞膝，五世同堂。《尚書·洪范》：“五福，一曰壽。”福為吉祥之尊，壽乃五福之首。俗話說：“福無雙至。”蔡沈《尚書集傳》中說：“人有壽，而后能享諸福。”這個“百子祝壽瓶”，既有壽，又有福，福壽雙全，福壽雙至，真是兩全其美，難能可貴。子孫無邊，收到這個“百子祝壽瓶”的老壽星，肯定會眉開眼笑，愛不釋手。

Among them, the blessing was having many children and grandchildren, with children and grandchildren around the knee and living together for five generations. Shangshu Hongfan: "five blessings, one is longevity." happiness is the honor of auspiciousness, and longevity is the first of the five blessings. As the saying goes, "there is no double happiness." Cai Shen said in the biography of the book of history that "people have a long life, and then they can enjoy all kinds of blessings." this "hundred son birthday bottle" has both longevity and happiness. It is the best of both worlds. Children and grandchildren are boundless. The old birthday star who receives this "hundred son birthday bottle" will certainly smile and love it.
