In Chinese language, the pronunciation for “gourd” (hu lu) is similar to the word for “fortune and wealth” (fu lu). Therefore, gourd is very popular among Chinese people. The gourd-shaped vase was created out of people’s fondness for it. Although gourd is an implement commonly used in Daoist rituals, the lotus decoration on the neck of the vase suggests Buddhism. Such a combination demonstrates the unity of Daoism and Buddhism during the Chenghua reign.
