How it's used
These three figures are almost always depicted together as a set, representing a complete package of blessings for a household. You will frequently see them as ceramic figurines in traditional homes or as decorative motifs during Lunar New Year. While they are distinct deities, they are rarely referred to individually in casual conversation because their power is considered complementary.
