sculpture of Yue Lao
Yue Lao (Chinese: 月下老人; pinyin: Yuè Xià Lǎorén; lit. 'old man under the moon') is a god of marriage and love in Chinese mythology.[1] He appears as an old man under the moon.
Yue Lao appears at night and "unites with a silken cord all predestined couples, after which nothing can prevent their union."[2] He is immortal[3] and is said to live either in the moon[2] or in the "obscure regions" (Yue ming), the Chinese equivalent of Hades.[3] His legends serve as the basis for the Red thread of fate.
