Fortune, Fortune, Longevity, and Three Stars (Yellow Peach Woodcarving)
The Three Stars of Fortune, Fortune, and Longevity originated from people's natural worship of ancient stars. In the beginning of spring, in the south, there are three stars that are closely spaced and connected in a straight line. Chinese people call these three stars "Lu, Fu, and Shou", and regard them as three auspicious stars that respectively govern the blessings, longevity, and other aspects of the world, known as the "Three Stars of Fu, Lu, and Shou". As the saying goes, "Three stars shine high, and the New Year is coming!" When three stars hang high in the southern sky at night, it is the time of Chinese Spring Festival. This is a belief belonging to the Chinese people. They have a great influence in the Han people. The three immortals of happiness, wealth and longevity have become a true portrayal of the Han people's secular life ideal.
