Mini Fu Lu Shou
This absolutely beautiful and lovely set of Fu Lu Shou is hand-crafted to imitate ivory. Petite in size, it's ideal for your dining room or business premises where vertical space of your curio cabinet is a constraint. The four chinese characters on the scroll the Fu deity (left) is holding translate to "boundless blessings comparable to the Eastern Sea" and those held by the Shou deity (right) reads "Your Life as Lofty as the Southern Mountain Ranges".
Fu Lu Shou should be placed on a high side table, preferably at the height of eye view with a solid wall behind them in the dining room or living room from where they are said to create auspicious chi for the entire household. At the office, Fu Lu Shou can be placed behind you giving vital support and good fortune.
Although the Fu Lu Shou are not worshipped or prayed to as deities, do treat them with respect, do not place them on the floor or in the bedroom.
What the Fu Lu Shou symbolizes and its Application in Symbolism Feng Shui
Known as Fu Lu Shou, these three star Deities personify the three important aspirations of mankind: Happiness, Wealth and Longevity.
Representing happiness and harmony, Fu deity is often shown carrying a scroll and a children with him for good descendant luck. Lu deity holds a scepter of office called Ru Yi to symbolize prosperity, authority and wealth. Luk deity always stands in the center and ensures your career success and enhanced income luck. Shou deity is depicted as carrying a staff with a gourd containing the Elixir of life tied on it and a peach, also known as the fruit of immortality. He symbolizes good health and longevity.
They radiate boundless inner harmony and great warmth. Seldom missing from any Chinese home that believes in Feng Shui, the Chinese strongly believe that if you place the Fu Lu Shou in a place of prominence in your dining and living room, they will bring you harmony and continuous good fortune for the household. These Star Gods are rarely worshipped at an altar. They are regarded more as symbolic representations than as deities, and thus have little religious significance.
