The deer: Its pronunciation is similar to "lu" (prosperity) in Chinese, symbolizing good luck, longevity, and promotion. Legends say that a deer that lives for a thousand years is called a canglu (blue deer), and for two thousand years, it is called a xuanlu (mystic deer). Therefore, the deer is a symbol of longevity. Deer often accompany cranes to guard the Lingzhi (a legendary medicinal herb). The word "鹿" (deer) is also pronounced the same as "lu" (prosperity) in the trio of lucky stars: "Fu" (happiness), "Lu" (prosperity), and "Shou" (longevity). Therefore, it is often used in patterns to represent longevity and prosperity. Myths and legends say that deer are auspicious animals created when the Yaoguang star in the sky scatters. They often appear alongside immortals, cranes, Lingzhi, and pine and cypress trees, wandering among the fairy mountains to protect the Lingzhi and bring blessings, longevity, and peace to humans. It is also said that a deer that lives for a thousand years is called a canglu, and one that lives for two thousand years is called a xuanlu. The Old Immortal of the South Pole, the god of longevity, chose a deer as his mount.
