Design Concept:
In Chinese, the gourd is called hulu (葫芦). The first character hu (葫) is the homophone of the word “to protect or guard” (hu 护) and the word for “blessing” (hu 祜). In the olden days, hulu were tied onto the back of small children, in case they fall into a stream, river or sea.
Being so rich in symbolism, the hulu gourd is considered a powerful feng shui enhancer and cure for problems relating to health, longevity, fertility, prosperity, and so forth.
