The Calabash — Hu Lu, the Vessel of All Good Things
The calabash gourd (hu lu) is one of the most ancient and versatile auspicious symbols in Chinese culture — a near-homophone for blessings and prosperity, its double-rounded form a map of heaven and earth united, its hollow interior the perfect vessel for elixirs, medicines, and the concentrated essence of all good things. Taoist immortals wear it at the waist, filled with the medicine of immortality. Hung at the door, it protects the household from illness and misfortune. As earrings, worn at the face, it brings that protective and blessing energy to the most intimate and expressive part of the body — the place from which you speak, listen, and present yourself to the world.
A beautifully auspicious everyday gift for anyone who wants to carry the protection and blessing of the calabash close to their face, framing every word and every smile with the warmth of this most benevolent of Chinese symbols.
