Is it better to have a solid or hollow Feng Shui gourd?
We will find a problem when purchasing Feng Shui gourds, that is, gourd ornaments are divided into two styles: hollow with openings and solid without openings. So which style has better effect? In fact, there is no functional difference between the two gourds, but there are differences in uses.
The Feng Shui effect of solid gourds that do not open their mouths
Gourds that attract fortune usually do not open their mouths and are hung on the financial position. The gourd absorbs wealth and prevents it from flowing out easily.
If it is a gourd without openings, if it is a naturally sun-dried gourd, it can be used to resolve feng shui problems that occur due to incorrect interior decoration such as beam pressure. In addition, problems such as the kitchen and bathroom doors facing each other may occur. The conflict situation can also be resolved by using an unopened gourd. And if the gourd made of jade is not opened, it can be used to promote personal wealth.
The feng shui effect of the open hollow gourd
It is best to open the gourd to transform evil spirits, which can absorb all the bad aura and avoid causing harm to the owner.
The natural gourd feng shui ornaments that have been opened are only suitable for resolving evil spirits at home or personally. For example, if the door of a residence faces a building with strong evil spirits such as a hospital, police station, or court, it will cause the collision of evil spirits. In this case, you can use the open gourd to resolve it. Hanging the gourd directly on the door or window can absorb all kinds of evil spirits in the house, improve the stability of the entire home's feng shui, and ensure the normality of personal life and work.
The origin of the Feng Shui gourd
The gourd is also called Pu Lu, which is homophonic to "Fulu". Its branches and stems are called vine belts, which are homophonic to "Wandai". Therefore, the homophone of Pu Lu vine belt is "Fu Lu for all generations" is a symbol of good luck. The gourd, together with its stems and leaves, is called "descendants for all generations". There are many seeds in the gourd fruit, so the Chinese regard the gourd as a mascot for fertility and having many children and grandchildren.
In various myths, legends and folk stories, gourds are always accompanied by gods and heroes, and are considered to be spiritual creatures that bring good fortune to humans and exorcise evil spirits. Many gods and doctors also carry gourds on their backs or hang gourds on their waists, such as Tieguai Li among the Eight Immortals, Nanji Weng, the longevity star, and Monk Jigong. Therefore, gourds have been a symbol of "good luck, fortune, good fortune" and "health and longevity" since ancient times. They are also a good product for protecting the home. In short, gourds have become an excellent product for viewing, collecting, and removing evil spirits, and are a representative symbol of Chinese auspicious culture.
