In feng shui, gourds are believed to have the power to expel evil spirits. The Chinese word for gourd-hu lu-is a homophone of the words’protection’ and’good fortune. That may have been the reason why the ancients considered gourds to be good luck charms, hanging them over doorframes or carrying them to ward off evil. These are such happy birds.
