Shou, the God of Longevity, is a symbol of a long healthy life. He is a popular deity, and his image is kept within the household to promote good health and long life to the occupants. Often Shou is placed in the centre sector of the house, facing the main breadwinner of the household, who should face his or her Tian Yi direction as much as possible, for better health luck.

A sacrificial tripod is a three-legged piece of religious furniture used for offerings or other ritual procedures. As a seat or stand, the tripod is the most stable furniture construction for uneven ground, hence its use is universal and ancient.

Tripod pottery have been part of the archaeological assemblage in China since the earliest Neolithic cultures of Cishan and Peiligang in the 7th and 8th millennium BC. They are often referred to as "dings" and usually have three legs.
