<p>This festive <i>kesi</i> tapestry depicts Shoulao, the God of Longevity, riding a spotted deer (with antlers in the form of magic <i>lingzhi</i> mushrooms) into an auspicious landscape and being welcoming by the Eight Daoist immortals. The scene is surrounded by a border of bats and mushroom-shaped clouds, both auspicious symbols, bearing the well-wishing greetings to the receiver of this hanging, most likely on the occasion of a high numbered birthday.</p>
