the Fuction of Wu Lou? The authentic Wu Lou is a gourd fruit. In ancient times, the Wu Lou is used to store water or potions to keep travellers alive and thus was given the name of “giver of life” and subsequently became a symbol of longevity. In Chinese mythology, the Wu Lou is often used by Taoist monks and deities to suck and bottle up evil spirits into it. Hence the Wu Lou is a powerful Feng Shui cure to absorb negative chi of its surroundings. The shape of a Wu Lou is believed to be a representation of Heaven and Earth united in miniature. The top half of the gourd symbolizes heaven, and the bottom half is earth. The use of the gourd by humans signifies the union of earth, heaven and mankind.
