The Wu Lou is an image of a gourd, calabash or Hu Lu. It has many auspicious meanings and uses in feng shui particularly in the capturing and dispelling of negative energy as well as for promoting longevity and in aiding the ill or infirm.

The Wu Lou was one of the first cultivated plants on earth. It served as a valuable water container for early desert civilizations. In ancient China doctors used them to transport their medicines. This added to the Wu Lou’s rich symbolism as a talisman of health.

According to legend, Taoist monks would use the Wu Lou for imprisoning evil spirits. Deities soon caught on to the practice and learned how to trap bad energies into the calabash too. In this way it became a symbol for enlightened and immortal beings in Taoism. Now practitioners of feng shui utilize the Wu Lou for a similar purpose: imprisoning bad energy.

The shape of the Wu Lou is said to be that of heaven and earth coming together. The top half of the calabash represents heaven, the bottom represents earth and when man makes use of this symbol, all three are harmoniously united.

In feng shui it is common for the Wu Lou to have a red string tied around its neck, this is believed to enhance and fortify its beneficial abilities.
