Shòu Longevity Melamine Dinnerware Set

The character for “longevity” is 壽 (shòu) in Chinese, and it is often depicted as a combination of the characters for “man” and “age” or “time”. It is thought to have originated in ancient Chinese mythology, where the god of longevity, Shou Xing, was portrayed as an elderly man with a long beard and a staff. According to legend, Shou Xing was in charge of keeping track of all living beings’ lifespans and granting long life to those who deserved it.

Longevity is often associated with good fortune and a long, healthy life in Chinese culture. It is thought to bestow blessings and good fortune on those who possess it, and it is frequently used as a symbol of respect and reverence for the elderly. As a result, the symbol of longevity has become a popular theme in Chinese art and design, appearing on a wide range of objects such as clothing, jewellery, and home decor.
