** Shou Xing 

Chinese Immortal God of Longevity

8.5" Porcelain Figurine Statue

Shòu Xing is the star god of longevity and is 

most often found represented independently 

of his two co-star gods. 

It is said that Shòu Xing’s mother saw the Star 

of the South Pole the night he was conceived, 

so Shòu Xing is known as “The Old Deity of the 

South Pole.” 

In Chinese astronomy, this star is also thought 

to determine the time of a person’s death – hence 

Shòu Xing’s representation of longevity. 

In his human form, you can pick Shòu Xing out 

by his prominent forehead and the “Peach of 

Immortality” that he carries. 

He may also be propped up by a peach wood staff 

and followed by a deer, another symbol of longevity. 

The character for shòu (寿) is used extensively in 

Chinese decorative arts including window designs, 

tile mosaics, gates and embroidery, amongst many 

other forms.

** Lu Xing 

Chinese Star God of Prosperity 

8.25" Porcelain Figurine Statue

Lu Xing is the first star of the Big Dipper 

constellation and God of prosperity, 

symbolizing career success. 

He dresses as a Mandarin and prefers to 

accessorize with a scholarly scroll and, 

interestingly, a bouncing baby boy. 

In feudal China, employment in the civil 

service was highly regarded as it often 

meant an increase in income and social 

status. To be eligible for one of these highly 

coveted positions, people had to be educated 

in Confucianism and pass Imperial examinations. 

The word lu means “official’s salary,” and therefore 

Lu Xing became representative of literacy and 

success in these examinations, which still hold sway 

today. As for the baby boy Lu Xing is often found with? 

This can be explained by a more obtuse association 

of male children being another path to prosperity. 

Lu Xing is sometimes attributed with bestowing children 

upon fertility challenged couples.

Measures 8.25" tall with a 2.75" x 3" base.

Weight: 1 pound, 3.1oz.

** Fu Xing 

Chinese Star God of Fortune 

9" Porcelain Figurine Statue

Fu Xing is the star god symbolizing blessings 

and happiness as a result of good fortune. 

In ancient China, he was considered the human 

form of the star controlling agriculture. 

You will usually see him dressed as a court official, 

sporting a winged hat and holding a gold ingot. 

As a nation historically built on agriculture, working-

class people of China closely associated fu with the 

success of crops and enabling farmers to provide 

for their families. 

For city dwellers, it was representative of survival 

through hardships such as war and famine, and for 

those of “status,” an increase in their personal wealth. 

Today the character for fu (福) is often displayed on 

doors and turned upside-down to say, “happiness is 

arriving.” 

Fu is never missing from a Chinese New Year celebration.

Measures 9" tall with a 3.5" x 3" base.

Weight: 1 pound, 2.2oz.
