What is the charm of jade gourd? Everyone from kids to seniors wear it!

When it comes to gourds, we are all familiar with them. There is a saying among the people that "If there is a gourd in the house, the family will be rich", which means that every household must place at least one gourd in order to attract wealth and prosperity. It can be seen that gourd is a must-have lucky charm for the home.

In the history of the Chinese nation, gourds have been worshipped by many ethnic groups as the ancestor of mankind.

In myths and stories, gourds are always associated with gods and heroes, and are believed to be magical objects that bring fortune and luck to mankind and exorcise demons and evil spirits. Many gods and miraculous doctors also carry gourds on their backs or hang gourds around their waists, such as Li Tieguai among the Eight Immortals, the God of Longevity Nan Ji Weng, and the monk Jigong.

Therefore, gourd has been a symbol of fortune and luck since ancient times, and is also a treasure for protecting the home.

What is the meaning of jade gourd?

Meaning 1: Good fortune and luck

"Hulu" is homophonic to "Fu Lu", which in ancient times referred to high positions and high salaries. Fu means blessing, lucky star, and happiness; Lu means official position and lucky star. The shape of the gourd is two circles connected together, which symbolizes good fortune and luck, and protects people from being promoted to higher positions and having a lot of wealth.

Meaning 2: Bringing wealth and fortune

The gourd looks quite blessed, and with its small entrance and large capacity, it can absorb positive energy, which will not flow out easily. It can also take in negative energy and disintegrate it cleanly. Therefore, it also has the function of bringing blessings and can protect its owner from peace and good fortune.

Meaning 3: Many children, more blessings

The gourd has many seeds, and its branches and stems are called vines, which is homophonic with "Wan Dai", which means a prosperous family, many descendants, and prosperity for generations in traditional culture. In ancient times, it was believed that giving a gourd to a couple, especially one who was eager to have children, would bring them many children and good fortune.

Meaning 4: Harmony between husband and wife

The gourd is composed of two connected balls, which are round and full, and can promote the relationship between husband and wife. It symbolizes a happy marriage, a harmonious union, endless love, and lasting happiness.

Meaning 5: Knowledge measurement

The shape of the gourd is a big belly and a small mouth, which is round and full, implying that the person is well-read and has a great bearing.

Meaning 6: Ward off evil and keep safe

Since ancient times, gourds have been hailed as sacred objects in Taoism and Buddhism. They possess the spirituality of gods and Buddhas. The combination of the two can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, keep people safe, and wish people longevity and good health.

Jade gourds are suitable for people of almost all ages, but when purchasing them, you should also pay special attention to:

1. The mouth of the gourd should be round and of moderate thickness. If it is too thin, it will easily crack; if it is too thick, it will appear bulky.

2. The connection point between the two circles on the bottle body should not be too straight. There should be a waistline and the thickness should be moderate. Only when the lines are full and smooth can the gourd look vivid and three-dimensional.
