What is the moral of gourd?

Gourd has the following moral symbols:

1, indicating wealth. Because "Hulu" and "Fulu" are homonyms, it is also a symbol of wealth, representing longevity and auspiciousness. It is based on this concept that people use colored gourds as decorations.

2, indicating good luck and evil spirits. In ancient times, couples got married and went into the bridal chamber to drink "Xie Jie" wine, which meant that the souls of husband and wife could be combined after a hundred years. Therefore, the ancients regarded the gourd as a mascot for good luck, self-protection and evil spirits. Gourd has a very close relationship with Xiandao. Legendary mythological figures such as Mr. Tie Guai, Yin, An Qisheng and Fei Changfang in Fairy Tales are always associated with the gourd, making it one of the symbols of immortality.

3. It means that children and grandchildren are prosperous. In addition, because the gourd vine stretches and the fruit is flourishing, it is also regarded as a mascot to pray for future generations. The proverb: "Only when there is a grain in your pocket can your family style become rich", which means that you can become rich and rich by putting a gourd at home.

4. It is a totem worshipped by some ethnic minorities. At least 20 ethnic groups in China worship gourd, accompanied by the myth of gourd.
