Fu, one of the three Sanxing deities in Chinese folklore, is the god of good "Fortune," often associated with good luck, blessings, and happiness. He is frequently depicted carrying a scroll, signifying the importance scholarly success in Chinese culture.

Fu Xing, also known as Fu-sin, is one of the three Chinese deities collectively referred to as the Sanxing, or "Three Stars," representing happiness, prosperity, and longevity in traditional Chinese culture. Fu Xing specifically embodies the star of fortune or good luck. The deity is often depicted as a joyful figure, dressed in official robes. In Chinese homes, statues or images of Fu Xing are commonly placed to invite good luck and to enhance prosperity and wellbeing for the family.

Historically, Fu Xing's image is associated with an ancient Chinese official named Xian He, who lived during the Tang Dynasty. He was known for his fairness and for bringing good fortune to the people. His transformation into a symbol of happiness and luck reflects the deep-rooted cultural belief in the positive influence of such deities on everyday life.

Many households and businesses place figurines of Fu Xing, alongside Lu Xing and Shou Xing (for prosperity and longevity), to create a harmonious and blessed environment. These gods are revered not only for their spiritual significance but also as symbols of key aspirations in Chinese culture: happiness, wealth, and a long life.
