Shoulao, also known as Shou Xing or the God of Longevity, is a prominent figure in Chinese mythology and Taoist tradition, symbolizing long life, health, and prosperity. Often depicted as a cheerful, elderly man with a high, domed forehead, a flowing beard, and carrying a staff and a peach—an emblem of immortality—Shoulao embodies the wish for a long and fulfilling life. Frequently accompanied by deer or cranes, animals associated with longevity, he appears in paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts, especially during festivals and on auspicious gifts. Shoulao is one of the Three Star Gods (Fu, Lu, Shou), representing blessings of happiness, prosperity, and longevity, making him a cherished icon in Chinese culture and domestic rituals.
