6" Golden Fuk Luk Sau

Known as Fuk Luk Sau, these Deities represent the three most important manifestations of health, wealth and happiness. The 1st star Deity (Sau) carries a bottle of nectar and represents longevity. Fuk, the 2nd star deity, represents wealth and enhanced income. The 3rd star deity (Luk) represents the power of the high Government official and holds the Ru Yi or sceptre of office in his left hand. Luk always stands in the center. This is interpreted as longevity, prosperity and power! Fuk Luk Sau should be placed on a high side table in the dining room from where they are said to create auspicious chi for the entire household. At the office, Fuk Luk Sau can be placed behind you giving vital support and good fortune.

 

 

The Chinese strongly believe that if you place the Three Star Gods - Fuk Luk Sau – the Gods of Health, Wealth and Prosperity, in a place of prominence in your dining and living room, they will symbolize great 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.

 

Fuk Luk Sau is present in most Chinese homes in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore. They symbolize abundance, long life and wealth for the household, and are easy to find in Chinese Supermarkets. They are made in all sizes and you can get them in ceramics, as wooden sculptures, as cloisonné ware or simply as paintings or painted onto decorative urns. Do remember that they are not worshipped or prayed to as deities. But do treat them with respect, do not place them on the floor.
