In Chinese mythology, while the Crane is believed to be able to live at least one thousand years feeding only on water, the Tortoise is even more impressive; it can survive three times longer than that! It is for this reason that it is a huge symbol of longevity, and is highly demanded by many who wish to live long healthy lives. The Tortoise is also a feng shui representation of safeguard and immunity to bad intentions, due to the fact that it comes with the Lo Shu square, which is the foundation of all Feng Shui theories. The tortoise, being one of the four celestial animals (among the Dragon, Phoenix and Tiger), is much revered by the Chinese and Feng Shui followers as a creator of solidity, sustenance and perseverance.

A large turtle with two small turtles stacked on its back represents three healthy generations and is a potent longevity symbol.
