Gourd is a traditional mascot, which is widely used in Buddhism, Taoism and folk customs. It is also a very practical product, which can be used to hold water, wine and so on.
Tie Guai Li, the Eight Immortals, is carrying a wine gourd, and the gourd of Taishang Laojun is filled with Dan medicine. Folk hermits often hang a gourd around their waist. Hulu homonym "Fulu" has a very strong symbolic meaning, symbolizing the prosperity, auspiciousness, longevity and prosperity of future generations. It has the functions of recruiting talents, gathering wealth to ward off evil spirits and eliminating evil spirits.
It is best to hang the gourd alone, not with other feng shui items or decorations. Don't hang the gourd on the mirror, and don't face the mirror directly. Artificial gourds, such as Jade Gourd and copper gourd, have good decorative effect and certain functions, but they are not as good as natural gourds.
