Since ancient times, the deer has been a symbol of strength, speed and long-life – this is because in Chinese legends, it is the sole creature that can locate the “Ling Zhi”, the fungus of immortality. This is the reason that the deer is known as the manifestation of the God of Longevity, Sau, which can often be seen posing beside him. The deer also represents health, due to the fact that its horns have medicinal properties and can be used for healing. The deer itself is often called “Luk” as in Fuk 'Luk' Sau (the three Star deities), which carries the meanings of prosperity and riches abundant. In a variety of cultures worldwide, the deer is seen as a symbol of love, kindness, gentleness and gracefulness.

When in the office, the deer will create the luck for development and monetary gain for the establishment. When in the home, it will serve to bring peace of mind and health energies to the family, and ensure them a steady flow of income and material gain.
