Craftsmen have long been fond of creating jade gourds. On one hand, the gourd's rounded, plump form with its connected bulbs and large belly tapering to a small opening symbolizes auspiciousness, completeness, and marital harmony, while also warding off evil, averting disasters, and attracting wealth. On the other hand, the gourd sounds like '福禄' (fú lù), meaning blessings and prosperity. If accompanied by mythical beasts climbing around it, the beast sounds like '寿' (shòu), meaning longevity, thus achieving the ultimate blessings of fortune, prosperity, and longevity. From ancient times to the present, the gourd has been beloved as an auspicious object and decorative item. Because its name sounds like '福禄' (fú lù), meaning blessings and prosperity, it has always been a symbol of good fortune and wealth in Chinese culture. Legend has it that ancient physicians used gourds to hold elixirs, thus believing they could bestow blessings, increase auspiciousness, and remove calamities. Furthermore, its rounded, plump, and curved shape appears quite fortunate, and with its small opening and large belly, it is believed to attract wealth and treasures from all directions, helping its owner to preserve and accumulate riches. Jade, ranking as the foremost of the world's five major gemstones, is a symbol of nobility and auspiciousness, cherished by the elite for centuries. Formed over eons from a convergence of minerals, jade is a precious gem imbued with spiritual energy and mysterious power, said to bring continuous good luck. Therefore, jade gourds signify an even greater abundance of blessings and wealth. A jade gourd ring worn on the hand exudes an air of noble elegance. https://image.uc.cn/s/wemedia/s/upload/2025/c1682718234665a4cf880bfaecaf9929.jpg Xiuyan jade is a specialty of Xiuyan Manchu Autonomous County, Anshan City, Liaoning Province, named after its place of origin.
