Shouxing, also known as Shoulao, is a popular god in Chinese mythology and one of the three star gods (or “San Xing”) along with Fuxing and Luxing. The star corresponds to Canopus, the second brightest star in the night sky, being 71 times the size of the radius of our own sun. Legend has it he was carried for ten years in his mothers womb before being born, and was already an old man when delivered. Shouxing is the god of longevity, immortality, and fortune, and is often depicted as a bearded old man with a high forehead and pronounced bald head, carrying a staff and the peach of immortality.
