The God of
Longevity
Sou (Shou)
The Star God of Health, Wisdom and Longevity is called Sou, or Shou (Canopus in the constellation of Argo).He is recognised by his large head and he carries a peach branch which only blossoms once every three thousand years symbolising immortality. It is considered lucky to wed in the month that the peach tree blossoms, signifying a long marriage.
As Sou is the symbol of the South he may be placed in the home facing that direction to represent Longevity, Health and Wisdom.
