Bagua Eight‑Treasure Gourd

The Eight‑Treasure Gourd blends two important traditional symbols in Daoist and Chinese folk culture: the “gourd (hulu),” representing protection, healing, and longevity, and the “Eight Treasures (babao),” ancient auspicious motifs believed to bring harmony and fortune. The gourd has long been used by Taoist monks to collect negative energy or evil spirits and serves as a protector talisman in homes.     

This ornament functions to neutralize negative energy and ward off spiritual threats, bring blessings and peace, enhance health, gather protective energy, and stabilize the household, turning bad energy into good fortune. Living and dying gourds (especially copper varieties) are especially valued for their ability to dispel illness and absorb harmful chi.

Crafted in copper (bronze), this gourd harmonizes with metal energy in feng shui. Metal gourds are highly recommended for their strong ability to absorb negative chi and promote health protection.

Do not place it in bathrooms, kitchens, on the floor, or directly under beams or in chaotic corners. Avoid use if it becomes damaged, and avoid placing it in harsh energy “kill zones” (e.g., facing inauspicious directions)
