In Vietnamese folk culture, it is commonly believed that certain types of children are “blessed by the heavens and Buddha,” possessing unique characteristics that foretell a life of exceptional talent and bringing fortune to their parents. Based on traditional concepts, here are three types of children often mentioned:
Intellectually Gifted Children:
These children often exhibit superior intellectual abilities at an early age, such as early speech, quick learning, and keen observation and reasoning skills. They are curious about the world around them, ask many questions, and have excellent memory retention. Folk belief holds that these children are endowed with sharp minds and are likely to become highly successful in academics or their chosen careers, bringing pride and fortune to their parents.
Children with Blessed Features and a Gentle Disposition:
Children with round, full faces, bright eyes, and gentle smiles or specific “good fortune” facial features (such as high foreheads, large ears, and straight noses) are considered to have blessed appearances. These children tend to be obedient, respectful, emotionally intelligent, and compassionate. According to folk belief, they are blessed by Buddha, and their lives will bring not only success but also good luck and peace to their families.
Children Who Overcome Early Life Challenges:
Some children are born into challenging circumstances, facing health issues or family troubles, yet they display remarkable resilience and determination. Folk belief holds that these children are tested by the heavens to forge their character. As they grow up, they often become steadfast, talented individuals who bring honor and fortune to their families, overcoming their early life struggles.
These beliefs are rooted in cultural and spiritual traditions, reflecting a faith in luck and divine blessings. However, a child’s development also heavily relies on their education, environment, and the love and support they receive from their family. Parents play a crucial role in nurturing their children’s potential and helping them become truly exceptional individuals.
Thus, children exhibiting these traits from an early age are believed to possess extraordinary intellectual abilities and the potential for remarkable career success, bringing their parents much pride and fortune.
