Because I just bought a copper gourd, I had the same question. I asked the seller, and the seller told me to hurry into the house. But I don't quite believe it, because I think only with my mouth facing outward can I absorb bad luck and suffocation. Isn't that what gourds do? Then I started to check online. I read a lot of articles, all of which are hanging windows, eaves and doorways. I didn't say where the tip of the gourd went. Finally, I saw an article, and at the end, hahaha, I will give you a picture. Ps: So what the seller said is right.
