In Chinese culture, lovers believe that if they put the Love Lock with their names on in a place full of nimbus, they will be in love forever. Although there is no foundation for this, it cannot stop lovers from doing so. For them, it is not only a sincere prayer, but also a forever promise to their lovers. These locks are set at the Jade Emperor Summit of Mount Taishan. In addition to Love Lock, there is also Safety Lock, from which people pray for safety for themselves and their families.

The lock has another meaning, that is, wishing I could live as long as I can.
