These five generations are: The Sakyamuni Buddha who rode to the West on a lotus flower; Chou Wen-wang of the hundred sons and thousand grandsons who became the emperor and ruled all under Heaven; Shih Tsung, who was said to be as wealthy as an emperor; Peng Tzu, who lived in the human realm for 820 years; and Kuan Kung, who passed the five obstacles and beheaded the six generals.
這五代分別是：足踏蓮花往西方的釋迦牟尼佛，百子千孫得天下的周文王，囤金積玉好門風的石崇，八百二十在人間的彭祖，以及過了五關斬六將的關公。
