Peach Bun Coin Purse - Gift Box Packaging

The Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing states, "Consume jade peaches, and live forever"; The Shen Yi Jing says, "In the East, there is a tree called peach, which extends one's life." In Chinese mythology, the peach of longevity is a peach that grants extended life. When the Queen Mother of the West celebrates her birthday, she hosts a grand banquet for all the immortals, hence the custom of using peaches as birthday gifts. Peaches used for birthday celebrations are typically made from flour, though fresh peaches are also sometimes used.
