The Three Wise Men also known as Fuk Luk Sau, these Deities represent the three most important manifestations of health, wealth and happiness. The 1st star Deity (Sau) carries a bottle of nectar and peach which represents longevity. Fuk, the 2nd
star deity, represents wealth and good fortune. He is generally
depicted in scholar's dress, holding a scroll, on which is sometimes
written the character "Fu". He may also be seen holding a child, or surrounded by children to signify descendants luck. The 3rd star deity (Luk) represents prosperity and authority. He always holds the Ru Yi scepter to signify the power of the high Government official. Luk always stands in the center. This is interpreted as longevity, good fortune and prosperity! Basically, Fuk Luk Sau signify overall good luck. Fuk Luk Sau
should be placed on a high side table in the dining room from where
they are said to create auspicious chi for the entire household and
overcome negative vibes. At the office, Fuk Luk Sau can be placed behind you giving vital support and good fortune.
