Deer and cranes symbolize long life, as they
are both companions of Shoulao, the god of
Longevity. In addition, the Chinese word for deer
is a homophone with the word for 'emoluments'.
The deer and crane can also symbolize a married
couple. Taken together with the pine tree,
1249 which is an evergreen, they form the rebus helu
tongchun (may the couple be forever young).
