  • The color peach represents immortality in Chinese culture (in Western culture, the color amaranth represents immortality). In China, the magical peaches of immortality were said to be consumed by the immortals due to their mystic virtue of conferring longevity on all who ate them. In Daoism The divinity Yu Huang, also called the Jade Emperor, and his mother called Xi Wangmu also known as Queen Mother of the West are said to be the guardians of the peaches of immortality. Xi Wangmu ensured the gods' everlasting existence by feeding them the peaches of immortality. The immortals residing in the palace of Xi Wangmu were said to celebrate an extravagant banquet called the Pantao Hui or "The Feast of Peaches". The immortals waited 6,000 years before gathering for this magnificent feast; the peach trees of immortality put forth leaves once every thousand years and it requires another 3,000 years for the fruit to ripen. Ivory statues depicting Xi Wangmu's attendants often held three peaches.
  • The peach often plays an important part in Chinese tradition and is symbolic of long life. One example is in the peach-gathering story of Zhang Daoling, who many say is the true founder of Daoism.
  • Elder Zhang Guo, one of the Chinese Eight Immortals, is often depicted carrying a Peach of Immortality.
  • There is a story in Daoism about a Chinese Emperor who had unnecessarily killed many people who ate the peaches of immortality but didn't become immortal. The lesson of the story is that eating the peaches of immortality doesn't work unless one is also virtuous, eats a moderate vegan diet, and practices meditation exercises such as Qi Gong.
  • The peach blossoms are highly prized in Chinese culture, ranked slightly lower than mei blossom (both types of blossoms are used as decorations for Chinese New Year).
