Gifting a turtle to an old man on his birthday

The ancient theme of using turtles as decoration became rare after the Yuan Dynasty, because people began to think that using turtles to describe people's wishes was degrading. But in the Song Dynasty, due to the emperor's promotion and formation of a social trend, this theme symbolizing longevity became popular.

Some people like to place turtles at home because turtles have a very long lifespan. Others believe that turtles and cranes have the same lifespan, which is "turtle and crane longevity."

However, in Feng Shui, if there is evil energy in a certain direction, a copper turtle will be placed there.

Birthday Wishes for the Elderly

The Hundred Longevity Pictures are an image composed of one hundred “Shou” characters in different shapes, including round, square or rectangular. There are also some small “Shou” characters written in one big “Shou” character. The fonts in the images are mostly traditional Chinese characters, including seal script, official script, regular script or a mixture of several fonts. A picture of a hundred longevity characters composed of different shapes of the character "Shou" can often produce a unique artistic effect, giving people a feeling of magnificence and profound meaning. Of course, when the Hundred Longevity Painting was first created, it was not appreciated as a work of art.
