Lotus Root (Lotus Root):
In traditional Chinese culture, it symbolizes "integrity and incorruptibility" and "blessings of more children and prosperity" (because the lotus root has multiple segments, hollow chambers inside, and lotus seeds imply reproduction). Meanwhile, the Chinese character for "lotus root" (藕,ǒu) is a homophone of the character for "spouse" (偶,ǒu), implicitly carrying the beautiful wish of "a heaven-sent marriage". Therefore, it is often used as a classic theme in jewelry design.
Judging from its name, the character "Shou" (meaning "longevity" in Chinese) in "Shoushan Stone" inherently endows it with the implication of longevity.

Therefore, it is very suitable to be given to elders as a gift, expressing the sincere wish for them to live a long life of a hundred years.
