In ancient times, when the productivity was not very developed, the gourd mainly played the role of a container and was often used to hold "medicine", so there was a saying that "what medicine is in the gourd". This is also the origin of gourd's role in resolving diseases and disasters in feng shui conditioning. Of course, the gourd needs to be placed in the right position in order to really play a role in resolving disasters in Feng Shui conditioning. For example, it usually needs to be placed in a conspicuous place next to the hospital bed.
Second, the important feng shui function of gourd is to suppress evil spirits.
Because the gourd is a container with a small belly and medicine in it, ancient immortals used it to collect demons and subdue them, so that those monsters can get in and out, and fight poison with drugs, thus achieving the goal of subduing monsters and restoring world peace. Therefore, gourd plays an important role in feng shui conditioning, which is to suppress evil spirits. Similarly, the gourd also needs to be placed in the right position, in order to really play a role in resolving disasters in Feng Shui conditioning. For example, it usually needs to be placed in a place with a heavy sense of suffocation and placed opposite it.
Third, the auspicious meaning of gourd in the application of geomantic omen.
Because the shape of the gourd is like the characters of "Fu" and "Ji" in Chinese characters, if you hang the gourd by the door, you will have a happy, auspicious and peaceful image in Feng Shui conditioning. There is a dialect that is homophonic with "Fulu", and the gourd just has two protruding parts, so the gourd means "Fulu has both".
