Shou
Xing Gong is the Chinese deity of longevity. Legend holds that Shou
Xing Gong began as a star in the southern constellation Argo, and he is
sometime referred to as the Old Man of the South Pole. He is easily
recognizable by his over sized forehead, representing wisdom, and his extra long beard, which is meant to literally demonstrate a long life.
Shou
Xing Gong is always depicted holding a long staff and a peach, both symbols of
longevity themselves, and said to come from Xi Wangmu's magical peach garden
found in Heaven. Xi Wangmu is also called Yin and is the personification of
femininity and the Chi energy of the same name. The peach trees in her garden
only bloom every 3,000 years.
The longevity god carries the peach of
immortality as an offering, showing that long life may be bestowed upon those
who pay their respects to Shou Xing Gong.
