A popular deity, Shouxing is depicted on paintings and in figurines, found in most homes in China. In one hand, he’s typically shown carrying a long staff, sometimes with a gourd hanging off it, containing the elixir of life. In the other, he holds a peach, symbolizing immortality. Sometimes, other symbols of longevity are added to his depictions, including storks and turtles.
Shouxing is also called Nanji Laoren or Old Man of the South Pole because he’s associated with the Canopus star of the South Pole, i.e. the star Sirius. His name, Shou Xing, translates as God of Longevity or rather – Star (xing) of Longevity (shou).
