Lot Essay

An emblem of longevity, peaches are of paramount importance in Chinese culture. Longevity ranks first among the Five Blessings, which include wealth, health, love of virtue and a peaceful death. Peaches have long been symbols of longevity and are considered sacred in China, for its wood was used as a charm against evil in ancient times.
