God of Longevity

God of Longevity Wall Scroll close up view

Close up view of the artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll

This is the god of longevity or the saint of long life. This old man with a huge forehead is said to be the one who grants longer lives to those whom are worthy.

His name is romanized as "Shou Xing" and in the older format "Shou Hsing" (his name is literally translated as "longevity star"). In most depictions, including this one, he holds in his hand, a peach of immortality. This famous peach has led many Chinese people to feel the need to eat peaches on their birthdays to ensure long life.

Hanging this tribute to the god of immortality on your wall may ensure you an extended lifetime.

You won't be disappointed if you become the owner of this work of art. I guarantee it personally or your money back.

Gary's random little facts about China:

Where's my soy sauce?
When you sit down to eat at a restaurant in China, you will almost never see a bottle of soy sauce on the table like you might at a Chinese restaurant in the USA or UK.
In Chinese cooking culture, soy sauce is a seasoning reserved for use in the kitchen.
The fact that soy sauce can be found at Chinese restaurants outside of China probably comes from the confusion between Japanese food and Chinese food.
The most popular Japanese food outside of Japan is sushi, which of course is always served with soy sauce and is the most likely cause of the confusion.
