A Chinese painting depicting Lu Xing, late Qing Dynasty, the star god dressed in red dragon robe and elborate headdress, holding a ruyi sceptre beside an elegant female and a boy attendant with scroll and jade seal, watercolour on paper, 48 x 24in. Footnote: The star of Lu in traditional Chinese astronomy, is the sixth star in the Wenchang cluster, and like the Fu star came to be personified. The Lu star is believed to be Zhang Xian who lived during the Later Shu dynasty (AD934-965). The word 'lu' specifically refers to the salary of a government official. As such, the Lu star is the star of prosperity, rank, and influence. The Lu star was also worshipped separately from the other two (Fu and Shu) as the deity dictating one's success in the imperrial exams, and therefore success in the imperial bureaucracy. The Lu star is usually depicted in the dress of a mandarin.
