The God of Longevity or Sau is probably the most popular deity out of the three-star Gods Fuk Luk Sau. He represents good health, longevity, and quality, and smooth life.

The Wu Lou is believed to be filled with the nectar of immortality.
Carried by ‘Sau’ of one of the three Star Deities Fuk Luk Sau that represents longevity and said in Chinese mythology that the Goddess of the West ‘Hsieh Hwang Mu’ has a garden of peach trees in heaven that bloom and bear fruits once in every two thousand years, the Peach has long been regarded as a traditional symbol for good health, longevity, and immortality. Legend has it that the Eight Immortals will be invited by the Goddess of the West for a feast when her trees bear fruits, which is how they attained immortality. The most famous folk tale related to the peaches would probably be Journey to the West, where the Monkey God stole and ate the peaches of immortality from the garden of the Goddess of the West and attained immortality.
