寿以南山 Ju wa Nanzan no Gotoshi
'Ju' means a person's life, as in the word continued with the word 'lifespan'. 'Nanzan' refers to Mount Shunanzan, which rises in the south-west of Xi'an. This mountain means 'indestructible' as the whole mountain is made up of solid rock and cannot be easily broken. 寿以南山 (Ju wa Nanzan no Gotoshi) can mean 'long life, no doubt'.
