What is the Eight Immortals Gourd?

From the appearance, the waist-splitting gourd consists of two spheres, like the Arabic numeral "8", which symbolizes harmony and happiness and implies mutual respect and love between husband and wife.

In myths and stories, gourds are always accompanied by immortals and heroes. For example, Tie Guai Li, the birthday boy Nanji Weng and the monk Jigong all carry gourds or hang them around their waists in the Eight Immortals, which are considered as spiritual objects, bringing blessings and exorcising evil spirits to human beings. Therefore, the gourd has been a symbol of "good luck" and "health and longevity" since ancient times, and it is also a good product to protect the home. Gourd is used to treat diseases, and it only needs to be hung at the end of the patient's bed or placed beside the patient's bed. You can absorb the sick gas from patients and make them get better soon. If you are healthy, you can absorb the bad luck brought by people and improve your fortune. Hanging the gourd outside the door will protect the safety of people in the house.
