Prosperity: Because gourd is a vine with dense branches, which symbolizes the prosperity of future generations, it has always been regarded as a mascot for seeking children. It often appears in some temples or churches. Putting a gourd at home means that children are full and their families are happy and healthy.

Precautions:
Put the newly bought gourd in a dry place such as a window sill, and never use your hands to dish it (let alone touch the gourd with dirty or greasy hands). Because the gourd picked in that year has not been completely air-dried, there is still some water in the gourd, and these things can only evaporate after being air-dried for a period of time.
If the new gourd is eager to be put on the plate, the dirty things on the hands can easily enter the gourd skin, and these dirty things will hinder the drying of the gourd itself, so that the gourd will have flower skin.
