About those things about jade, how much do you know about their meanings

As a mascot and ornamental item, gourd often appears in people's sight. In Journey to the West, the container that Taishang Laojun used to store the elixir of immortality was a gourd, and many of the magic weapons in the story were made of gourds.

Two meanings of gourd

Meaning 1: Harmony between husband and wife

The gourd is composed of two balls, upper and lower, which are round and full. Legend has it that hanging the gourd on the bed where a couple sleeps can promote harmony between the couple and a happy and perfect marriage. The jade gourd also has such a meaning. The jade gourd symbolizes harmony between husband and wife and lasting happiness.

Meaning 2: Praying for a child

There are many seeds inside the mature gourd, so people think that gourd is seedy. The gourd vine is pronounced as “wan” in Chinese, which means “ten thousand generations”, and it implies many children and good fortune. Giving a jade gourd to a couple means that they will soon have children, many children, and prosperous descendants.

Chili pepper: symbolizes prosperity.

Eggplant: Long and thin means longevity.

Bamboo joints: Bamboo brings peace and success. Hanging it in front of your chest means you have confidence.

Each jade carving has a different meaning, and people place their wishes and aspirations on jade.

Send a child

The peace locket represents safety and well-being; the zodiac sign represents blessings and good luck; if you are giving it to a girl, you can choose a Buddha pendant; boys can wear a Guanyin pendant. It symbolizes peace, the carving is simple and has no edges or corners, so it is safer for children to wear.
