Chinese Symbols: The Crane (Longevity)

[Cecil Lee]

1. Crane symbolizes longevity for the Chinese.
Pictures 1 to 5 show different postures of a crane.
2. A picture of a deer symbolizes riches (wealth). It is derived from the phonetic sound that sounds like " good income " or riches.
Under Picture 6, it is quite common to see a picture of a crane and deer combined together. Here, the picture symbolises longevity and riches.
