Longevity Lock, also known as "Name Sending Lock", evolved from "Longevity Thread" and is a traditional Chinese parenting custom popular in various regions of China.
According to traditional beliefs, as long as this kind of ornament is hung, it can help children dispel disasters and evil spirits, and "lock" their lives. Therefore, many children hang this kind of ornament from shortly after birth, and some also hang a longevity lock during the ceremony of newborns reaching their 100th day or one year old, and hang it until adulthood. Hanging a lock on a child's chest during times of war is meant to lock the child's life and prevent the invasion and harm of diseases and spirits. People believe that once a child wears a lock, they can grow up safely and without disasters. So, people call this type of lock a long-lasting lock.
