Meaning 1: Harmony between husband and wife The gourd is composed of two balls, upper and lower, which are round and full.

Giving a jade gourd to a couple means that they will soon have children, many children, and prosperous descendants. Meaning 3: Measurement Although the gourd has a small mouth, it has two big, round balls underneath, making it look full of energy. The jade gourd symbolizes magnanimity and not being stingy.
