Hulu Gourd and Lucky Coins Feng Shui Charm

Description

The hulu gourd lucky coins charm arrives as a compact hanging object, the gourd’s double-lobed silhouette immediately recognizable to those familiar with Chinese folk tradition. Brass and red cord, warm to hold.

The hulu gourd has been cultivated in China for over seven thousand years, its form appearing in Neolithic pottery and Bronze Age ritual objects long before its entry into Feng Shui practice. In traditional Chinese cosmology, the gourd’s double-chamber shape is said to store and transform Qi, drawing in stagnant force and converting it toward vitality. Physicians of the Tang and Song dynasties hung gourds at their doors. The pairing with old-style coins, cast in the round-square format of imperial currency, extends the symbol into the domain of material sufficiency. Together they form one of the most legible prosperity emblems in the canon.

This charm is constructed from a brass-cast hulu gourd and three replicated Tang-style coins, strung on a red cord in the traditional arrangement. The gourd measures approximately 35mm in height; total hanging length with coins and tassel runs to roughly 120mm. The brass finish is lacquered to resist tarnish. Each coin is cast with a square central aperture and carries classical inscription on both faces. Suitable for hanging at a door, window, or desk.
