longevity, congratulations, one's natural life
寿 centers on the idea of a long, full life: longevity, one's natural lifespan, and the celebration or congratulations that come with reaching a venerable age.
寿 is the modern simplified form of 壽. The older form is a complex pictograph associated with old age and long life, but the exact historical development of the simplified shape is uncertain.
The shape resembles a person (top part) with a long, flowing beard (the strokes above 寸) and a steady hand (寸) measuring out a long life.
For ジュ, imagine a long-lived jewel (ジュエル) passed down through generations: jewel -> ジュ, and the jewel represents a long, celebrated life.
