New Trio joins the Heritage Museum team
Fu Lu Shou - The Three Star Gods represent happiness & Prosperity, status and authority, and health and longevity. The Chinese term is San Xing. San means three in Chinese and Xing means star. They are referred to collectively as Fu Lu Shou.
If you are into Feng Shui, these three are considered lucky symbols.
Shou, often called the "Old man of the South Pole", is the star god of longevity. Images of Shou Xing are often found in birthday cards as it is said he has the power to fix the date of every person's death. I guess that equates to a long and happy life?
Shou Zing |
Last but not least, if Fu Xing. The star of Fu is dedicated to Jupiter which is considered very auspicious. Fu has proven to bring happiness, prosperity and good luck to those who need it the most.
This ceramic deities are 36" tall. As legend states they must be in proper order and at eye level. One should never look down on them. So, here they are, looking you in the eye making promises we hope they keep!
They are actually extremely detailed and stunning to look at. Two of the Xing's carry children that have very distinctive features. Even if you are not into Feng Shue, you would find these interesting to observe. Stop on by and have a look.
They are also available for purchase should you need all the happiness, wealth and longevity they are proposed to offer.
