The moral of Ruyi Shoutao:

Shoutao symbolizes happiness, health, good luck and longevity. People often give it to the elderly as a gift, which is a very suitable gift and a good blessing to the elderly.

Shoutao, in the original fairy tale, refers to peaches that can prolong life. In ancient China, people who celebrated their birthdays usually set up their own birthday halls at home, hung red birthday greetings, and placed birthday noodles, fruits and peaches made of wheat flour or rice flour on the table. The peach tip is dyed red, like a peach.

In addition, some people will put pictures on their walls, such as old people's birthdays, Ma Gu's birthdays, Dong Fangshuo's stealing peaches, the Eight Immortals' birthdays, flat peaches and so on, to add to the festive atmosphere. When relatives and friends come to celebrate their birthdays, they will also send birthday peaches.

Later, people celebrated their birthdays with fresh peaches, peaches made of flour, painted peaches or paper-cut peaches, also known as "longevity peaches". Because peaches have a better meaning, they are the most suitable birthday gifts for the elderly. The old man is also very happy to receive such a "birthday peach" gift.

Shoutao has become one of the traditional folk customs in China, symbolizing the younger generation's good wishes to the elderly and filial piety to their parents. It is a virtue inherited and carried forward by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and it can be fully reflected by giving birthday peaches.
