Gourd was originally a kind of melon produced by plants, also called gourd melon. After technological treatment, the gourd became a feng shui gourd. What role does gourd play in geomantic omen? Gourd is a symbol of astrology. The geomantic classic "Xue Xinfu" said: "The gourd mountain is now, and the medicine is flowing." It refers to a place where mountains are like gourds, magicians and famous doctors specialize in magic or medical skills. Since ancient times, people who are engaged in the professions of doctor, divination, geomantic omen, fortune telling or fortune telling all like to hang a gourd at home or in the office to promote their career. The ancient poem goes: "When the three religions and nine streams are used, people living in one room are different, and there are many exchanges between doctors and stars."
Gourd can turn evil into evil. The ancestors of Xuanmen usually carried gourds on their backs as a tool to ward off evil spirits. In ancient mythology, there are probably many stories about subduing monsters with gourds. Gourd has the characteristics of "easy entry and difficult exit". The mouth of the gourd is short, but its body is fat. Once ShaQi enters, you can never get out. Feng Shui uses gourds as a way to ward off evil spirits. The gourds used in contemporary geomantic omen include processed real gourds and imitation gourds, such as copper gourd, porcelain gourds, wooden gourds, gold-decorated gourds and painted gourds, all of which have different evil spirits. The usual essentials of gourd transformation are as follows: if the family members are sick one after another, they can hang 1 gourd at the door to eliminate evil; If someone at home is sick, you can hang a gourd at the bedside of the patient and at the door of the dormitory, and the condition will get better. Copper gourd has the miraculous effect of dispelling the evil spirits of "Huang Wu" and "Erhei Disease". Copper gourd's five elements belong to gold, and gold can turn earth into evil. In addition, the gourd body is composed of two circles, and the circles are also gold, so it is particularly effective to dissolve the evil spirits such as "Huang Wu" and "Erhei".

Bad things have happened in this house before, such as funerals or the death of an old man. Or there is something wrong with the feng shui format of the house itself, such as oppression, dreariness and humidity. The house with evil spirits will have the following situations:
Most people will feel uncomfortable after living, and always feel that something is wrong.
I often have nightmares after I check in, or I often have noises at night, causing mental panic.
Family members have physical problems, and they used to be fine. The problem didn't appear until they moved into the house.
After moving into the new house, the relationship between husband and wife has gone wrong, and conflicts often occur and divorce occurs.

Solution: as long as there is one of the above five situations, that is, there is a problem with the house feng shui. You can hang more gourds in the bedroom, living room and entrance door of the house to solve it.
5, to resolve the excessive deflation of houses, many houses are too flat. According to Feng Shui, when the wind gathers gas, there will be good luck when the gas gathers together. If you can't hide your anger, then naturally you can't hide it. The format that leads to discouragement is that the entrance door is in a straight line with the balcony, that is, auspicious gas comes in from the entrance door and leaks directly from the balcony. Another situation is that there are too many doors and windows at home, and the windows are vents. If there are too many doors and windows, the gas can't be stored, and the gas coming in from the entrance door leaks directly from the window, which can't achieve the purpose of hiding wind and gathering gas. Too much discouragement in the room will directly lead to the host's poor health, and there is no money at home. The money that comes in will always be spent on various things.
Solution: Gourds have the function of gathering gas and making money. You can hang several gourds on the window to gather gas, thus solving the above disadvantages.

Gourd can absorb the sick gas in patients and make them recover quickly.
7. Resolving all outdoor asphyxia If the outside of the window of the house is facing the hospital, funeral home, cemetery or slaughterhouse, it is an insidious evil; Seeing police stations and prisons is a crime against officials; Facing garbage dumps, public toilets, etc. This is a sin. If there are telephone poles and sharp speakers outside, the dry noise in the sky, high-voltage lines, transmission towers and roads between the second floors is evil, which is not good for people living indoors. If it takes a long time, it will damage the residents' wealth, career, health and mood, and will also have a bad influence on the relationship between husband and wife and their interpersonal relationships.
