China has a traditional culture of celebrating birthdays, and peaches are regarded as a symbol of longevity. The goddess Xiwangmu in ancient Chinese mythology, also known as the Queen Mother and the Golden Mother of Yaochi, held a birthday banquet every three thousand years when the flat peaches that bear fruit once in three thousand years were ripe, and all the immortals came to celebrate her birthday. Using peaches to celebrate birthday has the meaning of "blessing and increasing life". 中國有祝壽的傳統文化，桃被視為長壽的象徵。中國古代神話中的女神西王母，又稱王母娘娘、瑤池金母，每逢三千年結一次果的蟠桃長熟時，她就大擺壽宴，諸仙都來給她祝壽。用桃祝壽有“得福增壽”之意。
