“Take this opportunity to do charity in A-Li's name, so that she gains merit and a good reputation.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Humble Origins and Doing Charity in Another's Name

In ancient Chinese society, a sharp distinction existed between 'hanmen' (humble households) and 'shizu' (prominent aristocratic clans), making the financial sponsorship of impoverished scholars a highly revered act of virtue. People often carried out charitable deeds in the name of their children or loved ones to accumulate karmic merit, pray for blessings, or enhance their social standing.
