Cultural Meaning of the Gourd in Chinese Tradition

The gourd is a cornerstone of Chinese auspicious culture, with symbolism deeply rooted in history:
“Fulu” Homophone: “葫芦” sounds like “福禄” (fortune and prosperity), making it a universal symbol of wealth and status.
Taoist Sacred Vessel: Taoists revere the gourd as a magical tool—Iron Crutch Li used a gourd to hold elixirs, and it’s believed to “absorb negative energy” while nurturing positive chi.
Protective Shape: Its “small mouth, big belly” design is thought to trap misfortune and amplify blessings, acting as a spiritual “shield” against harm.
