The Deities of the Stars
The Chinese, more than people of other nations, hold a firm belief in the symbolic meanings of objects. All auspicious objects and their history have meanings.
One auspicious object that is widely known among the Chinese is the Fu Lu Shou, the Deities of the Stars according to Taolist belief. These Deities stand for happiness, prosperity and power.
Fu symbolizes happiness, achievement and good luck.
Lu is the symbol of prosperity, wealth, fame, rank and progress in work.
Shou is the symbol of good health and long life and is unsually used for the sixth cycle birthday celebration or as birthday wish.
The Fu Lu Shou is thus considered as an auspicious object that used as a gift because it stands for perfection in all aspects of life.
