寿
shòu
long life
surname Shou; old age; age; life; birthday; funerary
abundance (丰) + measured care (寸) = a long, well-tended life
丰 evokes abundance and flourishing; 寸 represents a measured, deliberate inch — together they suggest a life richly filled and carefully tended. The character as a whole became the classical symbol for longevity and is still used on birthday gifts and funerary objects.
