About the symbolism
In Chinese feng shui tradition, the wu lou (or hulu gourd) is a long-standing symbol traditionally associated with longevity, protection, and good fortune. It's a decorative and symbolic piece rooted in centuries of tradition — displaying one is a matter of cultural and aesthetic practice, not a health treatment or guarantee of any outcome.
How to place it
The wu lou is traditionally hung near an entryway, on a wall, or displayed in a main living space. As with other feng shui symbols, exact placement often follows personal or household tradition rather than one fixed rule.
Care
Dust the metal surface with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from prolonged moisture to help prevent tarnish, and handle by the hanging cord or loop to avoid fingerprints on the finish.
