The Chinese Shou Symbol:
The Chinese Shou Symbol (also spelled “Chou”) represents longevity, wealth, and good health. Three of the most important goals in life in Chinese traditional thought are the propitious blessings of happiness (fú 福), professional success or prosperity (lù 祿), and longevity (shòu 壽).
The Chinese character shòu (壽) is usually found on textiles, furniture, ceramics and jewelry. The ideograph may appear alone or be surrounded by flowers, bats, or other good luck symbols, but will always hold a central position. Birthday gifts which incorporate the Shou symbol have always been popular, and is specially significant when giving to the elderly.
