Are you looking for your destined true love? Are you trying to maintain a harmonious relationship with your better half? Or are you trying to mend a broken relationship? If you are, you need Yue Lao, the God of Matchmaking and Marriage.

Who is Yue Lao?

Yue Lao is the Chinese deity who brings couples together and builds harmonious relationship in marriages. This God of Matchmaking and Marriage is also known as the “old man of the moonlight”.

The Legend of Yue Lao

Originated from the Tang Dynasty, the story of Yue Lao begins with an account of a young man named Wei Gu. One night, he encountered an old man with a bagful of red strings, reading under the moonlight. Piqued by what he saw, Wei Gu went up to him and asked about the book and the red strings. The old man explained that he was consulting the Book of Marriage, and when he tied a red string to the foot of a man and a woman, they would be bound as husband and wife.

Being doubtful, Wei Gu challenged the old man to predict who his future wife would be. The old man pointed to a blind woman with a three-year-old girl and said, "This little girl will be your future wife." Humiliated, Wei Gu flew into a rage and ordered his servant to stab the little girl. Fortunately, she escaped with only an injury.

Years later, Wei Gu was betrothed to the daughter of a high official. On the wedding night, he was pleased to see that he married a young and beautiful woman, but he noticed a scar on her body. When Wei Gu asked about it, she told him that she was stabbed by a servant fourteen years before.

Since then, the legend of Yue Lao has begun to spread, and so has the practice of praying to Yue Lao.

Designing the Jadeite of Yue Lao

Our in-house designed jadeite of Yue Lao blesses singles who are looking for love. For those who are already in a relationship or married, it helps them build a harmonious and blissful relationship.

In designing the God of Matchmaking and Marriage jadeite, Master David Goh reviewed ancient literature and the deity's history to create a strong and elegant manifestation of Yue Lao. With Yue Lao holding two hearts connected by a red string, it symbolises everlasting love and a deep, harmonious relationship.

The red string is symbolic of a Chinese idiom 千里姻缘一线牵, which can be loosely translated as "a fated match across a thousand miles drawn by a thread". It means that two persons are destined to marry each other even though they are a thousand miles apart.

For singles, Yue Lao uses the red string to look for their fated match, and subsequently, a lasting and blissful marriage. The red string helps them find their destined love sooner and cuts down the time spent on unfruitful relationships.

For couples, Yue Lao uses the red string to help them and their partner stay faithful and in love, in both good and challenging times. It also prevents third parties from intervening in the marriage.
