Hulu 葫芦

In Chinese culture, the hulu, or bottle gourd, is a symbol of good luck, longevity, and prosperity. The sound of "hulu" is similar to the words for "blessing" and "salary," making it a popular decoration for the home or workplace. The hulu is also associated with the deities of good fortune and prosperity, and it is often depicted in artwork and literature alongside other symbols of wealth and success.

Furthermore, the shape of the hulu is also believed to represent the unity of heaven and earth, as well as the balance of yin and yang energies. This concept is deeply rooted in traditional Chinese philosophy, and is reflected in various aspects of culture and art, including the design of the hulu itself.

As for the connection between "hulu" and "福禄," the sounds of these words are indeed similar in Chinese. "福" means "blessing" or "fortune," while "禄" means "salary" or "official rank." Therefore, the hulu is often used as a visual pun to express the wish for good fortune, prosperity, and success in various aspects of life.
