There are also birthday pictures composed with the character "shou", which can be called "shou character pattern". There are multi-character compositions, such as "hundred years of longevity"; there are also single-character compositions, the long ones are called "longevity", and the round ones are called "yuanshou" or "reunion longevity".
The multi-character composition of the "Hundred Shou" picture is a pattern that imitates a hundred characters for "Shou" in various ancient and modern styles. It can be divided into two types. One type is that the wide stroke frame of a big longevity character is covered with a hundred different fonts of the character "shou". Another type is to arrange a hundred different characters of "Shou" in ten rows, with ten in each row, forming a square shape; or to arrange a hundred "Shou" characters in a circle to form a circular pattern. The Hundred Years of Life Picture had already appeared in the Song Dynasty at the latest. The Qing Dynasty Qian Zeng's "Study Min Qiu Ji·Zi Xue Bai Shou Diagram" said that during the Shaoding period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jingjiang ordered the historian to inscribe the Chinese characters "Hundred Shou" on Confucius Rock. The 100-year-old painting was very popular in the Ming Dynasty. During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhaobi of Kunming compiled a book called "Hundred Life Characters", which was divided into 24 categories. Zhu Guozhen's "Yongzhuang Xiaopin" of the Ming Dynasty records a picture of a hundred years of longevity in a family collection: "Yu Shi Zhang (Xue Xun) has a family collection of a painting of longevity, which was left by his ancestor. The characters are four feet high and seven inches in regular script. The black text and the dot paintings all have the character "Shou", and the white text is the "Shou" character. There are no similar ones. "Cao Xueqin also mentioned the "Hundred Life" picture in "A Dream of Red Mansions", which was placed on the screen. Chapter 71 of the book says: "Jia Mu asked: 'How many of these families here have screens around me?' Sister Feng said, 'There are sixteen families in my country, twelve of them. The one with the big frame...the one with the hundred-year-old longevity picture in gold is the best.'" The hundred-year-old picture is a popular birthday gift that has been passed down and is still used to celebrate birthdays. In recent years, Shanxi seal carver Xu Ruoshi created another seal carving work "Qianshou Seal", which is 30 meters long and consists of a seal with 1050 square meters of longevity. The seals include oracle bone inscriptions, small seal scripts, Han seals, Wei steles, ancient coin inscriptions, Wadang inscriptions, regular script, cursive script, running script, and Li scripts, as well as Mongolian, Manchu, Korean and other ethnic minority scripts. It can be said to be a collection of all ethnic groups in China. The culmination of ancient and modern fonts for the character "Shou".
